When in doubt … The House of Representatives, on October 16, decided to not decide – on an Internet tax – for another two years. Whew! That was close. The moratorium on web tax was October 21. Close call.
The IRS Online?
We all knew it would happen sooner or later. Now you can pay your taxes online, directly to the IRS.
