The National Small Business Association has launched a Web site to combat what it calls “harmful proposals by the IRS and Congress to raise revenue.”
The site is part of the group’s campaign to get small businesses to speak out against certain Congressional actions affecting small business, such as legislation that would track all electronic payments made to businesses through new reporting from credit and debit card companies.
The NSBA said that in a study by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, the IRS increased by 41 percent audits on small corporations between 2005 and 2007, while audits of the nation’s largest corporations declined in 2007 to its lowest level in the last 20 years.
“We want to drive home the point that small business comprises 33 percent of the voting population in the U.S.,” said Marilyn Landis, NSBA Chair “We will not sit idly by and watch our community be unfairly targeted.”

Good to know that they have this new site that can help the small business owners from IRS. This is not really fair that the small businesses is the one suffers from the continious increase of taxes that the IRS implimented.
