Thank you for your 12/14 (above) recommendation of eNSB. As you indicate, it is one of SB/SE’s primary “outreach” vehicles to communicate to small businesses IRS announcements, what’s new on our Web site, IRS.gov, other breaking, tax-related news items, and reminders and tips to assist businesses with tax compliance. The 2008 tax filing season is right around the corner. Now, paying taxes is never easy, and is certainly not a popular topic for businesses people, but the IRS is trying to ease the process with other products and services, such as our Tax Talk Today web cast at http://www.taxtalktoday.tv/. I believe that your subscribers and customers would also greatly benefit from specifically learning about the IRS’s January Tax Talk Today (TTT) program, “Getting Ready for the Filing Season 2008: Part 2 (Businesses)”, on Tuesday, January 8, 2008 at 2 p.m. The show’s panel of experts will discuss business tax return issues for small businesses and self-employed taxpayers, recent tax law changes and updates for the 2007 tax year, IRS regulations, business credits, common errors, and processing issues which impact filing business returns for the 2007 tax year. Sponsored by the IRS, Tax Talk Today is a free, live, monthly interactive Web cast aimed at educating tax professionals and their business clients on the most contemporary and complex tax issues. They are encouraged to watch and submit questions. Tax professionals in need of continuing education credits (CECs) are eligible to receive one CEC by viewing the January 8th Webcast. Click on Continuing Education at the TTT Web site for more information. The one-hour live programs begin at 2 p.m. ET on the second Tuesday of each month except April and August. In addition to viewing live Webcasts and archived programs, listening to audio podcasts and reading show transcripts, subscribers can order audio and video recordings from the Tax Talk Today Web site. To access the Webcast at no charge, viewers can register online at www.TaxTalkToday.tv. Tax Talk Today can be viewed with Windows Media Player and Real Player. Both players are free software that may already be installed on your computer. If not, click the link for Installing System Software to view Internet Broadcast under “How to View.” For more information on future programs, go to the TTT Web site and select Upcoming Programs. To learn about the availability of other IRS products and services, subscribe to IRS’s e-News for Small Businesses. To see a representative sample and to start a free subscription to e-News, just go to IRS.gov at http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/content/0,,id=154826,00.html type in your e-mail address and submit. I hope that you will also consider recommending this Tax Talk Today show. It is just one of several products and services the IRS produces to educate small business taxpayers about important tax matters. Thank you in advance for your interest and consideration.
