IRS Summertime Tax Tip 2008-13
Small businesses, payroll companies, and tax professionals can get helpful tax information from monthly phone forums (conference calls) sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service. These phone forums are free and convenient – you can call in from the comfort of your home or office.
The monthly phone forums discuss topics of interest to businesses and the tax professionals who represent them. Some of the previous issues covered are powers-of-attorney, filing a Schedule C, choosing a return preparer and Form 1099. Future topics include correspondence examinations and recordkeeping for small businesses.
Registration for the phone forums is easy and early registration is encouraged. Phone lines are limited and slots are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Just follow the directions provided on the IRS Web site. Once you register, you will receive the call-in phone number and instructions needed to participate in the phone forum.
Information on upcoming phone forums can be found on the Business page of the IRS Web site at IRS.gov. In the Search field, type in key words “phone forums” and select the link titled “Small Business Tax Workshops, Phone Forums and Webinars.” While you are visiting the Web site check out the numerous resources for small businesses that are also found at www.irs.gov/businesses/small/index.html.
Remember that for the genuine IRS Web site be sure to use .gov. Don't be confused by internet sites that end in .com, .net, .org or other designations instead of .gov. The address of the official IRS governmental Web site is www.irs.gov.
