When you have completed your student training path, you'll be asked to fill out an evaluation survey about the course to help the IRS evaluate its effectiveness as a training tool for volunteers. Your opinions about the web-based training are important to the IRS. With your feedback, we can work to improve the training materials for individuals involved with the VITA/TCE programs. You only need to fill out the evaluation once. Your feedback will be strictly anonymous. You can access the evaluation survey by clicking here.
