The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has new products available on their official website, www.irs.gov, aimed at helping enable small businesses and the self-employed navigate complex tax rules and more to easily locate essential information.

The Small Business Resource Guide (SBRG), formerly a CD-ROM, is now available online and provides small-business owners with tax-related information relative to starting and managing their business. The IRS has ensured the SBRG 2009 website offers the same quality of information the SBRG CD was known for, covering a wide range of tax topics, web links to business forms, publications, and other useful governmental web sites.

SBRG site offers a new page featuring video and audio presentations on a variety of topics for small businesses and self-employed taxpayers. It also includes short presentations dedicated to help small businesses in the areas of:

• Adjusting Employment Taxes: New for 2009
• Backup Withholding for Form 1099-MISC
• Bartering Income
• Choosing a Tax Preparer
• Employer Identification Numbers
• Small Business Tax Workshops
• Schedule C: Who needs to file and how to do it

Small businesses and the self-employed can also find information and resources in the self-employed individual’s tax center.
