The Internal Revenue Service has launched an official YouTube channel. This channel will feature videos produced by the IRS on various tax administration topics. Members are encouraged to use this information to educate themselves and their clients and customers on IRS rules and regulations, as well as to learn about how changes in the tax code may affect the taxpayers real estate interests.
Available videos include discussions on withholding, home energy credits and even videos on career opportunities at the IRS. Visit the channel online by visiting the following link – http://www.youtube.com/irsvideos
After surveying its members, the National Association of Realtors® found out about their use of technology like websites and blogs. Now, The Research Division has its very own Facebook group, Active Rain and RealTown presences, as well as a presence on Twitter and LinkedIn. Research’s social media pages are not only a place for members to receive insight into our latest surveys, commentaries and reports, but also creates a place for Realtors® to get in touch with the division. There may be certain special trends in the marketplace that Research may be unaware of – such as a significant rise in foot traffic at open houses or continuing long delays in getting short sales to close. Research will be using the social media platforms as an open forum for discussion.
On many of these networks you will also be able to follow up to the minute and daily information postings created by the NAR Research Division.
