IRS To Offer Free Phone Forum on Recordkeeping For Small Businesses & Exempt Organizations

The IRS will be offering a free phone forum on recordkeeping on December 1, 2010.
The IRS Small Business/Self-Employed (SB/SE) Division will run the forum. Small and mid-size exempt organizations may also find this phone forum useful, as many have the same recordkeeping issues as small businesses. 

Accounted For Bookkeeping, LLC. encourages all small businesses, self-employed individuals, and exempt organizations to take advantage of this free, helpful forum so you can be proactive in improving your understanding and maintenance of your important records.

Topics to be covered in the forum include:
§           Why books and records are necessary
§           How the IRS defines books and records 
§           What specific types of records are needed and 
§           How books and records should be maintained 

Other pertinent topics will also be covered.

Tax professionals may receive a Certicate of Completion that can be used to request Continuing Professional Education Credit if the forum meets the professional organization’s or state’s CPE requirements.  Enrolled agents receive one CPE credit for a 50-minute participation from the start of the program.
Three convenient time slots are offered. Select the time that works best for you below, and sign up now for the event of your choice:
