A special e-mail address for members of the U.S. Armed Forces, their spouses, authorized agents or representatives, which can be used to notify the IRS about someone service in a combat zone.

For example, the IRS will suspend compliance actions, such as audits or enforced collections, until 180 days after the taxpayer has left the combat zone.

Ever thought about having your own business? Take a look at the tax deductions available to small businesses. The primary tax advantage of having your own business is that individuals pay taxes first, on 100% of their income (generally), and pay their expenses out of whatever's left over. With our current tax rates hovering around 50% (when you consider federal, state and local taxes), that means that in order to have $1 to spend on your own epxenses, you have to make $2, because the tax man gets the first $1. But businesses pay their expenses first, and then pay taxes only on what's left.
