IRS Launches E-Mail Service for Technical Guidance

Washington (Aug. 9, 2004) -- The Internal Revenue Service said that it plans to launch a new service to make technical guidance available via e-mail to tax professionals when documents are issued.

Through the IRS GuideWire list server, subscribers will receive notification of and links to IRS announcements, notices, revenue procedures and revenue rulings as they are issued.

“This is an easy way for tax professionals to get copies of important guidance quickly and directly,” said IRS chief counsel Don Korb. “This is a valuable resource tool for people who need time-sensitive guidance in advance of publication in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.”

To subscribe to the service, individuals should request to be added to the list server by going to IRS.gov, clicking on “The Newsroom” and “e-News Subscriptions,” and then choosing “IRS GuideWire.”
