QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Solicitation Number F2E0JA2332A001 for TAX Prep Service
1. Under the heading "Specific Duties". The duties described here are in reference to using the program TAXWISE Desk Top. The Air Force terminated use of that version of TAXWISE many years ago. The current version required by the Air Force at Holloman AFB is TAXWISE ONLINE. These duties would be impossible to accomplish using the required Air Force Standard. Is this correct?
a. The program will use TAXWISE ONLINE. We are required by IRS to use TAXWISE on line. That is the program that is sent to us for training purposes by IRS and TAXWISE online is what we use.
2. Under the heading "Dates". The start date is 15 December 2012. This date has passed, what will be the new start date?
a. 1 January 2013. We have the tax training class scheduled to begin on 7 Jan 13.
3. Under the heading "Dates". The hours given are 0800-1600, then the statement that the work is 4-6 hours per day, these numbers do not match. In previous years the office was open from 0730 to 1630.
a. The tax office will be open from 0730 to 1630. The contractor will be required to provide eight (8) work hours per day, with one hour for lunch. Contractor is not authorized arrive late (at 0830) or to leave early (at 1530).
4. Under the heading "Responsibilities". There is no mention of preparing all state returns. Will this contract require preparing all state returns?
a. Yes. Active Duty military members utilizing the Holloman AFB Tax Center may be residents of all 50 States. Contractor should be prepared to support filing income tax returns for all states, and prepared to supervise volunteers preparing state income tax returns.
5. Under the heading "IRS Form 8453" number 14. The IRS no longer uses form 8453 as an electronic filing form. What form is to be used?
a. This was incorrect. No specific form is required by the IRS. Contractor should be prepared to support electronic filing of income tax returns.
6. On the section "Notice Details" under "important notices" item number 2, last acronym in parentheses is "CCR". Should not that be "SAM"?
a. SAM is to replace CCR
7. How likely is it that I can use Drake software in the place of Taxwise.
a. TAXWISE is what’s driven by IRS. We will use what IRS requires. No other software will be used.
