Starting a Business? A Good Resource from the IRS.
March 5th, 2010 admin
Tax agencies may be annoying to deal with, but the IRS has one of the best websites of any entity in the U.S. A client told me about the IRS’ Virtual Small-Business/Self-Employed Business Workshop. It’s an excellent resource on what you need to do to deal with tax agencies. It’s well organized, and it has a lot of useful information. My client who told me about it said to me, “I wish I had seen this when I was first starting out.” The video has examples like keeping a written mileage log, and what you need to do with it. It’s well worth the time to watch it.

I’m always looking for inventive ways to tell a story. This is a mashup I created using images I found on the web, some very short video clips and a handful of PowerPoint slides.

As more accounting solutions look to find banks willing to provide hooks into their systems, it is becoming clear there are banks that get customer service and those that don’t.
