New Year's Eve and 2007 are now only hours away.   While many people around the world are getting ready to party away, ringing in the new year, I'm already contemplating taxes.

Maybe being a fairly new business owner, I am being overzealous in my desire to get the IRS paperwork filed sooner than later.   Maybe my level of respect... and fear... of the IRS is a strong motivator.

Maybe, as an employee of someone else's company, I understand how important timely receipt of my W-2 form from my employer is to me...   Allowing me to file my personal taxes on time.

Whatever the case, I am now getting ready to complete and file W-2's for all of my 2006 employees.

Problem is, I don't have any W-2 forms.

Much to my surprise, I found that the IRS Website once again has proven easy to use and helpful!

I learned that I can order the forms I need as a small business owner right on the Internet.   So, I put in my order for several Form W-2 - Wage and Tax Statements, the Form W-3 - Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements, and Instructions for both.   And the cost of this service?   No charge!

The IRS does not charge for these forms.   Now that's a nice surprise which softens the blow of having to file employer payroll tax forms.
