Like many other governmental organizations and corporate entities, the IRS utilizes modern technology in an attempt to reach taxpayers and other individuals to inform them about recent and relevant tax issues. One of these forms of technology is the phenomenon of posting videos on YouTube.com. The videos are cleanly produced and generally provide helpful tax information; however, the videos generally are short and thus not in-depth, so the content of the videos should be considered accordingly.  Taxpayers should consult their professional tax advisor or tax preparer for more detailed information about any of these topics, or visit the official IRS website at IRS.gov.

Below are links to some of the recent YouTube videos as posted by the IRS, most of which are available in both English and Spanish languages, as well as in American Sign Language (ASL).
