The Rhode Island Division of Taxation has set up a special email address that preparers can use to send in their questions ahead of its upcoming "Seminar for Tax Preparers" in December.



Last year, the Division held an in-person seminar. This year, however, the Division will hold its seminar online -- as a precaution amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.



This year's virtual seminar will be held on Wednesday, December 9, 2020, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.



The seminar is intended only for tax preparers and is focused on the coming filing season.



In advance of the seminar, preparers have the opportunity to send the Division their questions about the coming filing season using the following email address: Tax.Outreach at tax.ri.gov<mailto:Tax.Outreach at tax.ri.gov>. (Please do not include any client-specific information.) The Division will answer as many of those questions as possible during the seminar. The Division also intends to give preparers the opportunity to ask questions during the event itself.



Reminder about seminar details



Shortly before the day of the seminar, the Division will send an email to preparers containing seminar details -- including a link they may use to view the seminar on their computers or other devices. There will be no charge to attend.



The Division is working on further details about the seminar and will email those details to preparers shortly before the day of the seminar.



Although this year's seminar will be online, the Division nonetheless will offer preparers its usual comprehensive

presentation, with several speakers and an advance look at what's new for the tax-filing season.



For more about the seminar, please see page three of the Division's most recent newsletter, available through the following link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://go.usa.gov/xGzrd__;!!KKphUJtCzQ!ZLesgOl5O4S8bz9LTt3AUOPgz2UUSh4yvNJ3Aul7zdQkSqaY17E8le_AZEg_YuTai-Doj3-Trw$ [go[.]usa[.]gov].

As noted above, the seminar is for tax preparers only, and is geared toward the upcoming filing season.
