IRS Has Created a Small Business Tax Center

The Internal Revenue Service has been adding many user-friendly links to their site over the last few years. One of the most recent additions is geared directly for small business. They have created the Self-Employed Individuals Tax Center. It provides key sections identifying "who is self-employed?"; if you are a new business they give the key points involved in Starting a Business as well as Operating a Business; they identify the key differences between Independent Contractors and Employees; highlight the various taxes you may be responsible for; how to find a tax preparer along with the forms you will be required to file and identifying the types of resource materials also available on their site.

If you look off to the left side of the page they also have additional links for Farmers and various other small business topics.

Where To File

When you click on the link for Farmers you will find links to the various Publications we have mentioned in previous blog entries and seminars as well as tax tips specifically for agricultural business.

Take some time to review these links and get a comfort level for those issues you had questions about last year. You can also use the Business.Gov Toolkit on the right side of our blog if you have a question--just type in a topic in the search box and click on "search".

These are some great links to keep in your favorites--but don't hestitate to contact us with any questions you have. As a reminder, Peggy will be joining Fred Kraft at Northwest Alpacas on Wednesday, September 24th for a tax webinar from 5:00 to 6:30 pm and for a day long tax and business planning seminar on Friday, October 17th. Here are the links for each.
