Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) Web Reporting Instructions

Click on the links below to view examples of our emails.

To save tax dollars, the Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) is increasing methods of online contact with survey respondents. Two emails are sent to respondents selected for the ARS:

• The 'Annual Refiling Survey Notice' includes your establishment(s) Web ID(s)
• The 'Annual Refiling Survey - PASSWORD' includes the password(s) necessary for accessing our secure website

Why do we send two emails? For security and confidentiality purposes, the Web ID(s) and password(s) cannot be transmitted to respondents in the same email message. Furthermore, the emails we send include the statement below affirming our commitment to the responsible treatment of confidential information in our possession.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is committed to the responsible treatment of confidential information and takes rigorous security measures to protect confidential information in its possession.
