Education and Compliance Outreach

The Department of Revenue’s Education and Compliance Outreach (ECO) team develops initiatives that promote compliance with Florida’s tax laws through proactive educational outreach.

ECO initiates taxpayer outreach within the first 30-90 days of registration as part of the Department’s Success Through Taxpayer Assistance and Revenue Training (START) program. Team members contact taxpayers by phone to answer tax questions, review registration data for accuracy, assist in completing tax returns, and provide education on filing obligations. ECO also offers assistance to taxpayers who make in-person visits to local service centers.

Additionally, ECO presents specific tax information through speaking engagements to community groups and administers special projects designed to prevent noncompliance.
