Welcome to the 2010 IRS Tax Calendar for Small Businesses and Self-Employed
We hope that this year’s gardening theme will inspire your commercial ventures, while
helping you cultivate sound business practices.
Our nation’s economic climate has been rather overcast, but our entrepreneurs have
brought
a sunny side to the outlook. Small businesses employ about half of all private
sector U.S. workers, and have generated 60 to 80 percent of net new jobs annually over
the last decade.
Taxes contributed to our nation’s budget by small businesses and the self-employed
represent
more than 45 percent
of the total by all private firms.
So, roll up your sleeves and dig in. And remember, if this small business almanac of
advice leaves you scratching your head, there are more resources available from the IRS on the Small Business and Self-Employed Web site.
This calendar is filled with useful information to help you start up and tend to your small
business concerns. Tax reminders and instructions are shown by date. There are also
highlights of various tax topics related to small businesses provided in the calendar.
