Evaluating the quality of our telephone services.
To ensure that IRS representatives give accurate, courteous, and
professional answers, we evaluate the quality of our "800 number"
telephone services in several ways.
- A second IRS representative sometimes monitors live
telephone calls. That person only evaluates the IRS assistor and does
not keep a record of any taxpayer's name or tax identification
number.
- We sometimes record telephone calls to evaluate IRS
assistors objectively. We hold these recordings no longer than one
week and use them only to measure the quality of assistance.
- We value our customers' opinions. Throughout this year, we
will be surveying our customers for their opinions on our
service.
