No worries; the IRS will try to ease your concerns.In support of National Small Business Week, April 30 – May 4, the IRS is offering free webcasts geared toward educating small business owners on the effects of the new law.An additional webcast, “the Paycheck Checkup” offers guidelines regarding your employees’ current withholding status and individual income tax return.
