IRS Enhances Two Online Tools for 2008 Tax Filers


Feb. 7, 2008 (SmartPros) The Internal Revenue Service has enhanced both Publication 17 and Where's My Refund?, two key electronic tools available on IRS.gov, the official Web site of the IRS.



The online version of Publication 17 --Your Federal Income Tax now contains electronic links for faster navigation. Both the downloadable PDF and the html version of the 2007 Publication 17 contain more than 800 hyperlinks. The links allow users to jump immediately to other parts of the publication, reducing the time it takes to access information. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the HTML version of Publication 17 on IRS.gov is accessible to visually impaired taxpayers.

The online refund-tracking tool Where's My Refund? is now available in Spanish as well as English. Taxpayers can access the Spanish version through either the Where's My Refund? page on IRS.gov or the Spanish-language portal. The goal of this new feature is to make tax information available to taxpayers who don't speak English or those who know English as a second language. Taxpayers without Internet access can get the same information about their refunds by calling the IRS Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1954.
