OK, here are the Cites:

IRS Forms, Instructions, and Publications are at the official IRS site for downloading (these are text links for faster response). You will also want Adobe Acrobat Reader software. It's free (nada, nichts, gratis, niente, etc.) and available for most systems. The Reader software allows one to view and print materials so they look like originals. Documents at the IRS, the states, and many other sites are stored with the PDF (portable document format) extension which Reader can translate. If the IRS site is busy, try Maxwell Technologies or Drake Software. These two companies provide a valuable alternative to the IRS site. Drake also has its own collection of many state tax forms if you cannot find what you need from the official sites (see next link).

Links to States. The official home page of each state, the agency responsible for collecting its taxes, and state statutes online. Tax forms in Adobe PDF format from some states, while others have a faxbackor other form service.

Tax Topics (for example: deductions, capital gains, withholding, and more!) are cross-referenced to most IRS publications to help you quickly find the best IRS source.

Here is a list of IRS Publications with content descriptions and the tax forms referenced by each. Besides helping to find the right publication, this page assists when you know the form, but need to find a publication that describes it in detail.

The full U.S. Code on WWW at the U.S. House of Representatives, or Cornell University. Not for the timid.

Code of Federal Regulations at the U.S. House of Representatives.

Internal Revenue Code at MIT, or at www.fourmilab.ch.

Yahoo database of Tax Sites. Always something new.

University of Florida Payroll Services non-employee compensation rules with the infamous 20 IRS questions for distinguishing employees from consultants, information on visa classifications, payments to U.S. residents vs. aliens, tax treaties, etc. This is a 5 star site and thanks to its author, Murphy Miller.

If you insist on low tech, call the IRS for help at 1-800-TAX-1040 (1-800-829-1040).
For forms and publications call 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).
The hearing impaired may contact the IRS by TDD at 1-800-829-4059.

Other Sites to visit:

Links to many accounting resources at the AICPA and the International Accounting Network at Rutgers University.

Fed World is courtesy of U.S. taxpayers. A great place to find information from many federal agencies.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has a database, named EDGAR, of electronically filed financial information from public companies. Not just for accountants; you can also use it to get the name and address of corporate officers to send them a letter when their toll-call help line becomes a helpless line. The SEC will be happy to hear about this very practical use.

If I had a page with many useful business links, I would want it to be like CEO Express.

IfBG - The Institute for Finance and Banking at the University of Göttingen in Germany. Financial markets, currency exchange rates, banking, it is all here. And, it is in English or German.

A Trader's Financial Resource Guide. For stock market fans. Lots of links to lots of places.

DBC, PCQuote, and Security APL let you get free stock quotes with only a 15-20 minute delay. Other financial data available!

BNA, CCH, HBPP, PPC, RIA, and Tax Analysts publish tax material and have tax news updates.

Kent Information Services, Inc. Good Internet source for tax professionals and disheartened taxpayers.

Finally the Sights:

Yahoo! is Yahoo! Yes, I know Yahoo is here twice, but it's my home page.

My favorite search engines are AltaVista from Digital and Lycos, and Deja News for finding Usenet articles.

W3 Search Engines from Switzerland. Why do I like this one so much?

US Postal Service ZIP Code lookup. Mine is correct.

What is the weather like today in South Florida? (....use caution when checking during the winter)
