Most of us pay for tax research of some sort. These websites offer a lot of editorial advice and additional features. However, there are many sites out there on the World Wide Web that you can use for yourself and your clients.<\/p>\n<p>Many times, a search in google will yield results, and if you stick to .gov or .edu sites, the results are usually well cited and reliable. Sometimes, this also yields well-researched articles on other CPA\u2019s websites.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, I have bookmarked the ones I use more often. Here, in no particular order, is a list of those:<\/p>\n<p>The most comprehensive site I have come across is <a href=\"http:\/\/taxsites.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_taxsites\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/taxsites.com<\/a>. It breaks out its research by topic, and links you to information you may want.<\/p>\n<p>The IRS website will tell you everything you want to know about all things federal (tax). The site has publications, tax rules and calculators that will help you calculate relevant tax amounts. I also use the site as a resource for obscure forms that I need. Here are a few of the links on that site:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-home\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-individuals\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-businesses\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_bankrate\" target=\"_blank\">Bankrate<\/a> has a link in the top navigation bar for different calculators. The list is long and comprehensive, and includes everything from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/?ic_id=story_taxes__globalnav\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_bankrate-calcs\" target=\"_blank\">interest calculators to retirement estimators<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.taxpolicycenter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_taxpolicycenterorg\" target=\"_blank\">tax policy center<\/a>, like Bankrate, has some great calculators. The two I especially like are the net income estimator and the marriage bonus calculator. This site also gives some great history about tax legislation.<\/p>\n<p>Like IRS.gov, <a href=\"http:\/\/ssa.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_ssa\" target=\"_blank\">ssa.gov<\/a> will tell you everything you want to know about Social Security.<\/p>\n<p>EFTPS is where you or your client goes to pay taxes online. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eftps.gov\/eftps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_eftps\" target=\"_blank\">site<\/a> will also be your link to other electronic services available from the IRS. Your state is going to have a similar site. In California, it\u2019s called <a href=\"https:\/\/webapp.ftb.ca.gov\/MyFTBAccess\/iusername.aspx\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_ftbCA-online\" target=\"_blank\">myftb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I also use the FTB site to check what people have paid for income taxes, and to verify payments they say they have made. I find this service invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>On a local level, we always check DMV payments with the DMV and property tax with the local county tax assessor. These are public records and easily accessible.<\/p>\n<p>For businesses, the Secretary of state is a great resource to verify the status of a business or non-profit. This site will have a state business search. In California, the site is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sos.ca.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_sosCA\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.sos.ca.gov\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other sites I frequent are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.payroll-taxes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_payrolltaxes\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.payroll-taxes.com\/<\/a>: This is a great site for all things related to employer federal and state tax questions, with links to cognizant agencies.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.401khelpcenter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_401khelpcenter\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.401khelpcenter.com\/<\/a>: This site has some great simple information about retirement accounts, and can be a nice resource for you or your clients if either of you are looking for advice and perspective about retirement plans.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbiz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_smbiz\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.smbiz.com\/<\/a>: This is a great resource for small business owners, with links to federal calendars, editorial information, and references with links. It is very low key and not flashy at all \u2026 just the facts!!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/turbotax.intuit.com\/tax-tools\/all-articles-and-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_TurboTax-articles\">https:\/\/turbotax.intuit.com\/tax-tools\/all-articles-and-videos\/<\/a>: A great location for you and your clients to get basic tax tips and information. The TurboTax user forum is also a great place for wacky tax questions because the TurboTax population is so big that if it\u2019s been asked, its probably been asked and answered on this website.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taxes.ca.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_taxesCA\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.taxes.ca.gov\/<\/a>: A great start to look for all tax information related to California.
