Hearing All Voices IRS Small Business Workshop and Listening Session 2022

IRS is hosting Zoom meetings for small business organizations and owners in February and March, especially those that conduct business in languages other than English.  These 2-hour events will include presentations from IRS leadership from examination, collection and taxpayer Advocacy covering the top tax issues affecting small business owners regarding income, deductions, employment taxes and recordkeeping.  We’ll also cover getting ready for the 2022 filing season, tax scams targeting small businesses and how the IRS is reorganizing to better serve small business taxpayers. We also want to hear from you!  So, these events will include a listening session to hear your concerns, feedback and suggestions. How can we improve your IRS experience as a small business owner?
