Tax Information for Small Business

Useful tax information for small business owners and self employed individuals.

Are you a small business owner? Thinking of starting a business? Or, are you self-employed...or expect to be soon? If the answer yes to any of these, then be sure to bookmark the business webpage at IRS.gov, as we offer anything and everything related to your federal tax responsibilities.   

Our online small business and self-employed tax center provides information on how to get an Employer Identification Number (EIN), offers all you'll ever want to know on employment taxes, and makes available an abundance of online tools and educational products. We also have so much more there, such as an 'A to Z' for small business.

You can also find the latest on tax legislation, including the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. The major provisions in that law are designed to encourage investment and provide access to capital for business. In addition, there is information on the Hiring Individuals to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act and to the Affordable Care Act provisions, and the new health care laws enacted last year.
