Local Government Annual Confirmation Letter RequestsIn an attempt to streamline the annual revenue confirmation request process, we are asking each unit of local government to send only one request letter to Revenue Accounting. This one letter should request information for all tax distributions and should include the name and address of the auditor(s) to which you wish us to send your fiscal year revenue information. Beginning this year, we will forward all tax revenue information directly to your auditor(s) in one confirmation report. We will send your tax information at the earliest date possible, which should be during the month of November. In the past, Revenue Accounting has received four or five request letters from each of the local governments for various tax confirmations. As a result, we have processed in excess of 1,800 confirmation requests annually. We have reviewed this procedure and determined the time and cost savings to both the Department and to your local government will be substantial by implementing a more streamlined process. Once we receive the names and addresses of your auditor(s) we will distribute revenue confirmations for all tax types at one time. We hope you find this new method advantageous to everyone. If you have not taken advantage of our e-mail notifications of distributions and other correspondence, this would be a good time to initiate it. Just send us your e-mail address and you will be able to receive same day notification of distributions and other correspondence relating to your state and local revenues. Please send all information and a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Florida Department of Revenue If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Revenue Accounting at (850) 487-1150 at the address listed above. As always, we look forward to working with you this year on our revenue confirmations. |
