Small business representatives said it’s difficult to get clear information from the IRS and access professional tax help. We recommended that the IRS evaluate how it can improve outreach to small businesses, particularly when tax provisions are introduced or changed. What GAO Found The InternalRead News

7 banned books and where and why you should buy them

The latter goes hand-in-hand with political moves like the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which prevents teachers from talking about LGBTQIA+ topics (such as gender identity or sexual orientation) to school children.
