From Cynthia F. Garcia-O’Toole–Missing IRS Documents
Hi, everyone.
I was made aware yesterday that some additional publications have gone unavailable and can no longer be pulled up on IRS.gov. Please see my original email to SPEC HQ, below.
The response I received was as follows:
“Many of SPEC’s products are under review to ensure compliance with the recent Executive Orders. My understanding is that once the process is complete and approval is given these products will be restored.”
I suspect we may see other forms and publications drop off and others pop back online. I apologize for this inconvenience but please know that it is in response to recent directives and we’re working to get them reviewed and available again as soon as we can.

Link & Learn Certification is back!
Background: Link & Learn Certification Site is operational
The Link & Learn Taxes (LLT) testing certification site is now available. The site can be accessed directly at Link and Learn Certification site (VITA/TCE Central). Volunteers also can access the site through the main LLT learning site, Link & Learn Taxes, via the VITA/TCE Central link and through the test link shown at the end of each course.
NOTE: Users of the new testing site cannot use their password from the prior site to access this system. Users must click on the “forgot password” tool to reset their password to access the new site. Users will be instructed to input the email address associated with their account. The user will then receive an email with their user identification (userid), instructions, and a link to change their password. If the user does not receive an email within 15 minutes, please check the spam or junk folders. If the user’s email address changed and the user no longer has access to it, they should send an email to the wi.spec.products@irs.gov mailbox, listing both the old and new email address and other identifying information, such as name, user name, or address. Please carefully follow the password security requirements when setting a new password for the certification site.
