Where are the E-Lists (formerly Listservs)?FTA hosts a number of E-Lists for tax administrators to share best practices and communicate about shared interests. These E-Lists have recently been upgraded and are now part of the new TaxAdmin.org. Along with adding new functionality to all of our E-Lists, we have changed our procedures for signing up. For our public lists (currently only E-Standards and our Motor Fuel lists), anyone interested in signing up must send a request to support@taxadmin.org. Once approved, they are registered for the E-List and given a limited user account that allows them to review the list’s archive. For current state users who already have a sign-on, all of our E-Lists, both public and members-only, can be found at www.taxadmin.org/e-lists. If you do not already have a sign-on, please contact support@taxadmin.org. |
