IRS Online Gets Facelift Nov. 21, 2005 (SmartPros) The Internal Revenue Service redesigned its Web site at www.irs.gov.
The main navigation tabs are now at the top of the page, whereas before they were on the bottom left corner. These tabs are: Individuals, Businesses, Charities & Non-Profits, Government Entities, Tax Professionals, Retirement Plans Community and Tax Exempt Bond Community. Click on any of these tabs and a second level of navigation appears. For Tax Professionals, the sub-topics are: e-File Providers, Enrolled Actuaries and Enrolled Agents. While the main navigation and "patriotic" color scheme changes of the site are apparent, the pages retain a similar layout and structure to the previous design. For a detailed explanation of the site's changes, the IRS offers a complete description here. The Internal Revenue Service Web site, first launched in 1996, is one of the most heavily used sites on the Internet during the tax filing season. In fiscal year 2005, there were more than 176 million visits to IRS.gov and 1.2 billion page views. 2005 SmartPros Ltd. All rights reserved. |
