IRS to Conduct Employer Compliance Survey

In September the IRS will be sending a survey to 10,000 employers to collect information on tax compliance issues. The survey will ask employers about the time, money, and other resources they spend in dealing with compliance requirements, such as income tax withholding, processing Forms W-2, and filing taxes. The IRS says it will use the data collected to reduce employer compliance burdens. The survey is voluntary; employers who receive a survey and choose not to respond will not be penalized.
