Scott Mezistrano, Senior National Account Manager for the Internal Revenue Service, received the APA’s Government Partner Award Friday for his support of payroll professionals.

“I fell into payroll 30 years ago and it continues to be so rewarding," Mezistrano said. “I appreciate you all. APA is a great”

Before joining the IRS, Mezistrano spent 13 years as an APA employee in its Government Relations division.

William Dunn, CPP, APA’s Director of Government Relations, specifically lauded him for his work with reporting agents to pilot the W-2 verification code, which impacted two million forms in 2016 and will impact an anticipated 47 million forms in 2017.

“He has been instrumental in getting their issues resolved timely and accurately—two words that mean everything to the payroll profession,” Dunn said.
