New IRS Materials Available to Promote Awareness of Recovery Act Tax Benefits

Deadlines Near for Business to Choose Expanded NOL Election
Eligible taxpayers must act soon if they want to take advantage of the expanded business loss carryback option included in this year’s Recovery law.

While digesting IRS info is not the most exciting way to spend an afternoon, learning more about these programs can really impact the bottom line!
