Working with OTS on launching the LDR website was a partnership that continues to pay dividends. OTS worked closely with us during development and after the site went live to ensure that it meets the needs of all stakeholders, including LDR staff, policymakers, tax professionals and individual and business taxpayers. The support they continue to provide is invaluable.
