70 -- IRS ON-LINE FILING PROGRAM POC Judith Silver - Contracting Officer (202) 283-1347. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seek sources with knowledge and experience in providing intermediary communication between taxpayers and the IRS. The intermediary communicator would participate in the IRS On-Line Filing Program and would receive and transmit tax data and provide acknowledgements from the IRS to the taxpayers. This communication can be available through on-line service providers, electronic filing transmitters and software developers. Taxpayers residing in participating states can file their state returns with their Federal return to the IRS through the On-Line Filing Program. Taxpayers using On-Line Filing will transmit a completed tax return via computer and modem to a participating on-line filing company. The on-line filing company will then convert the file from the tax preparation software's format to the format that meets IRS specifications and transmit it to the IRS. The IRS will notify the on-line company/transmitter whether the return is accepted or not. Software companies will work with transmitters/on-line filing companies/states to develop software to be used for On- Line Filing. Software will be tested by the IRS from October 30, 1996 until January 1, 1997. All potential sources must submit clear and convincing documentation that demonstrates their capability to satisfy the IRS' requirements. Sources responding to this announcement need to submit a name, brief description of their company and telephone number for a point of contact. Interested sources should submit their pertinent information, including the method by which they will detect and prevent more than three returns within a transmission from the taxpayer. No reimbursement for any costs connected with providing the requested information will be made by the IRS. This announcement is for informational purpose, and does not constitute an IFB, RFP, or RFQ, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the IRS. Interested parties must respond within 30 calendar days of this notice to the following address: Internal Revenue Service, Electronic Filing Branch, Productivity Enhancements Section, Attn: Maxanne Rearich, T:S:E:P, Room 5037, 1111 Constitution Ave, N.W.,Washington, D.C. 20224 (0199)
