The Minnesota Department of Revenue's Terri Steenblock and Vicki Dickinson introduce the department's new and improved "e-Services" for business taxpayers in this department video. Using locator graphics such as circles and arrows to highlight points of interest, they walk you through many of the system's new features. Those include its simplified color scheme, less-cluttered layout and easier-to-follow instructions. The new e-Services debuts Monday.
Steenblock is assistant commissioner of individual taxes, and Dickinson is the department's integrated tax system director.
Even after rolling out the new e-Services, we'll continue to listen to user suggestions about how to make it even better. e-Services allows business taxpayers to handle virtually all their tax business with just a few clicks of the keyboard.

The DOR Advisory Council is a key element of DOR 360, the Commissioner's initiative to engage and communicate with the DOR community. The Council consists of 16 members --representing a broad spectrum of taxpayers. Secretary Glen Shor of Administration and Finance kicked off the meeting by welcoming the Council members and applauding the Commissioner for reaching out to stakeholders. After reviewing DOR's strategic plan, the Council members broke into working groups with DOR senior management to discuss communications and dispute resolution.
