Tax Talk Program Gives Small Businesses Head Start

With the 2008 filing season right around the corner, you may want to tune in to the IRS’s Tax Talk Today (TTT) program, “Getting Ready for the Filing Season 2008: Part 2 (Businesses)” airing January 8 at 2 p.m. EST. It will give tax professionals, their clients, and small business owners a head start.

This annual program picks up where the December program ended (“Getting Ready for the Filing Season 2008: Part 1 (Individuals”). 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 2007.

Sponsored by the IRS, the TTT programs are free, live, monthly interactive web casts 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 credit by viewing the January 8 web cast

The one-hour live programs begin at 2 p.m. EST on the second Tuesday of each month, except April and August. In addition to viewing live web casts and archived programs, listening to audio podcasts and reading show transcripts, subscribers can also order audio and video recordings from the TTT web site.

If you missed the program, the December 11 web cast is accessible for viewing via archive for 12 months at Tax Talk Today. A transcript of the show is also available, as well as an audio podcast.
