IRS Study Sessions

[Lee B]

I have signed up for most of the various IRS email notifications. I received the following this morning:

 

"The IRS wants to make it easier for taxpayers to use IRS.gov by improving how the website is organized. Certain taxpayers may sign up to attend study sessions and tell the IRS how they want to find the information they need.

Participant eligibility requirements include:

Must be 18 or older

Must be an employer, small business owner or retirement plan administrator, or work for a tax-exempt organization

May not be a current, or past, employee of the IRS or U.S. Department of the Treasury

Eligible taxpayers can sign up for one of the following 1-hour web conferencing sessions based on the category they fall into:

Businesses

Retirement plan administrators

Tax-exempt entities, including charities and non-profits

Selected participants will receive an email from the IRS research team with details of how to attend."

 

I thought OK, I have a few useful ideas that I could contribute, so I tried to sign up.

Amazingly, there are no sessions available. Why do they even bother? 

Another superficial Public Relations gimmick

ok.   I think they have made the e service log in very confusing.  Why not put PTIN, POA and TDS and so on in same webpage?   Anyone else has issue with that? Thank you!
