    The program is offering services to clients in IRC offices located in Phoenix, AZ; Denver, CO; New York, NY; Dallas, TX; and Salt Lake City, UT.

    • Advise the taxpayer that he/she is ultimately responsible for the information on the return before asking the taxpayer to sign Form 8879 or the tax return. Explain to the taxpayer that signing the return certifies that the taxpayer has examined the return, including all the forms and schedules for accuracy, and they are signing the return under penalty of perjury.
    • Provide feedback to preparers explaining identified errors captured during quality review and instructions for making the necessary corrections.
