On this site taxpayers can: Learn about employment tax requirements. Make tax payments. Find out how to set up and distribute retirement plans. View a streaming video of a small business tax workshop. Order free products like a tax calendar or small business resource guide. “Running a business is a big responsibility and the IRS wants to help ease the process for this dynamic group of taxpayers,” said Kevin M. Brown, commissioner of the IRS Small Business/Self-Employed Division. ”In an effort to save businesses money and reduce their paperwork burden, over the last year, the IRS has implemented a number of initiatives to simplify tax forms.” For more information about the resources and services the IRS has for small business and self-employed taxpayers visit IRS.gov.
