G 2005-02 - OHTAX-ALERT - ODT E-Mail Communication Channel of
Pertinent Tax Information; Issued November, 2005
On November 18, 2005, the Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT)
is introducing OHTAX-Alert, an e-mail
information service that allows you to choose which tax
topics you'd like to receive tax notices on, and avoid
cluttering your electronic in-box with items of limited
value. This new application is replacing the former
Tax Practitioner e-mail system ODT had in place.
This notice has been issued to all those currently on ODT’s
Tax Practitioner e-mail list. At the outset, ODT has created
a subscription for you -- the tax practitioner -- that will
provide informational notices on all tax
topics. If that is acceptable, you need to do nothing.
Notices on all tax topics will be sent to you as they are
made available.
If you would like to customize your account or cancel your
subscription, or for anyone who wishes to open a new account,
please click on the link provided in this e-mail that takes
you to the OHTAX-Alert Welcomepage. Once there, enter your e-mail address (registering
your name is optional) and hit the 'Continue' button. This
will take you to a list of featured tax topics. From that
list, you can choose to receive information releases on
specific tax types or topics, or check the "Select All
Groups" box to receive all tax information releases. An
e-mail confirming your new subscription or cancellation will
be sent to you within 24 hours. Please respond to the
confirmation request.
NOTE: If you are using certain e-mail services such as
Hotmail, Yahoo, or AOL, be advised that adding our
e-mail address (ohtaxalert@tax.state.oh.us) to your e-mail
address book will prevent future ODT e-mails from being
placed in your bulk or spam e-mail folder. If you are using
other blocking programs,you may need to adjust the settings
on your spam control software.
Please note that OHTAX-Alert is a one-way communication
channel. Thus, sending a 'Reply' message to it will not be
processed. If you have a question or comment about this new
service, please
E-Mail Us or call the ODT Office of Communications at
(614)644-6896. ODT hopes you find OHTAX-Alert to be a helpful
and timely aid to your practice. Thank you for your time and
interest.
