Taxpayer Experience Office In 2022, the Division of Taxation established its Taxpayer Experience Office and appointed a Taxpayer Experience Liaison. The goal of the Taxpayer Experience Office is to continue the Division’s efforts to educate the taxpayer community and to address taxpayers’ needs in order to enhance voluntary compliance with the state’s tax obligations. The Taxpayer Experience Office houses a dedicated taxpayer experience team that includes Leo Lebeuf as the Taxpayer Experience Liaison. This team has engaged in numerous outreach efforts to taxpayers, tax professionals, and industry groups to enhance the accessibility of the helpful information available to these groups, as well as working diligently behind-the-scenes to continually update processes to focus on the taxpayer experience.
