http://accountinginstruction.com/
The Internal Revenue Service today announced that experienced agency executive Lia Colbert has been named the new commissioner of the Small Business Self-Employed Division (SB/SE), which oversees the agency's collection activities and the examinations of most businesses in the United States.
"This is a crucial position for the IRS, and Lia's background provides a unique perspective for this important role," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "This area is critical to ensuring fair enforcement of our nation's tax laws while respecting taxpayer rights. In addition, this area is a key place for the agency to find ways to improve the taxpayer experience, not just for individuals who interact with this area but also for tax professionals that handle enforcement-related issues."
The IRS also announced that Maha Williams has been selected to act as the deputy commissioner, SB/SE Examination, to fill in for De Lon Harris, who is retiring at the end of April. Darren Guillot will continue to serve as deputy commissioner, SB/SE Collection and Operations Support.
Colbert replaces Eric Hylton, who was SB/SE commissioner, when he left the agency about a year ago. Harris and Guillot served as interim co-commissioners during that time.
In her new role, Colbert will be responsible for providing executive leadership and direction to a nationwide staff of approximately 20,000 employees. These employees are responsible for the design, development and delivery of a comprehensive tax administration program. This program touches more than 57 million small business owners and self-employed taxpayers with business interests having less than $10 million of assets.
Furthermore, Colbert and the SB/SE deputy commissioners will work closely with employees, managers and executives across the division to review current operations and strategize improvement opportunities by looking deeply into experiences faced by the nation's taxpayers and IRS employees in this ever-challenging pandemic environment.
Williams will be responsible for providing executive expertise and direction for special projects covering major segments of SB/SE including Campus Exam/Automated Under Reporter (AUR), Field Exam, Specialty Exam, Headquarters Exam and Exam Performance & Planning Analysis. She will also oversee the Office of Promoter Investigations (OPI), which provides support for all IRS efforts in identifying abusive tax transactions, tax schemes, and emerging abusive arrangements.
Colbert's most-recent role at the IRS was deputy chief Appeals. Prior to that, she was IRS chief of staff a

https://accountinginstruction.info/home-page-employee-section-1-28/
This presentation and we will take a look at the employee section of the homepage, which will include the pay employees and pay payroll, we will do this within QuickBooks Pro 2020, QuickBooks desktop 2020. Here we are in our get great guitars file which we set up in a prior presentation. If you don’t have the get great guitars file that is ok, you can follow along with your own company data.
0:25
We currently have the open windows open in the left side, you can open the open windows by selecting the view drop down up top and the open windows lyst. We also have the homepage open typically it is open when we open QuickBooks but if not, company file up top and the homepage. The homepage is a great tool for viewing activities by cycle and prior presentations, we took a look at the vendor cycle and the customer cycle. Now we’re going to be looking at the employee cycle.
0:55
Now note we’re going to be bouncing around a little bit from this current file that we have set up to a new because we’re not requiring that you set up paid payroll in order to go through this practice problem. To set up paid payroll you would go to this item over here to turn on payroll, it will typically be an add on feature, there is also going to be a manual payroll or is typically a manual payroll within QuickBooks. However, the setup process is having problems at this point.
1:23
Therefore, we won’t be setting up the manual payroll, but we will demonstrate payroll in a future problem as we will display the paid payroll in that future problem. Therefore, down here, when you look at the employees in our current file, we don’t have the full type of items that you would see. Therefore, I’m going to go to another file now. So this is not going to be like the file that you have currently, it’ll be a different type of file, which will then be including this icon. So I’m going to go to the second file. Here it is the employees down below.
1:55
If we were to pair purchase payroll or set up the manual payroll, then you’d see this a flowchart that we’re used to seeing in the vendor and customer section. So in this flowchart you have the entire time, we’re not going to spend a lot of time, going through the entire time section, the entire time section will help us to track time by employee is not really the part of the payroll process, it’s part of the tracking of payroll that the tracking of the time for it that we can then use to help us out to generate the payroll.

IRS expands tax help into more languages; Form 1040 offered in Spanish and more services, information available in multiple languages
WASHINGTON — As part of a larger effort to reach underserved communities, the Internal Revenue Service is taking a number of aggressive steps to expand information and assistance available to taxpayers in additional languages, including providing the Form 1040 in Spanish for the first time.
In addition to being available in English and Spanish, the 2020 Form 1040 will also give taxpayers the opportunity to indicate whether they wish to be contacted in a language other than English. This is a new feature available for the first time this coming filing season.
Other changes include Publication 1, Your Rights as a Taxpayer, is now available in 20 languages. The 2020 version of Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax, will be available early next year in seven languages – English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Russian, Korean and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).
The agency's newly expanded multilingual initiative is a key part of helping the IRS reach its goal of helping everyone, no matter where they live, what their background is, or what language they speak.
"Our diverse workforce is extremely proud to be able ease the inherent burden on taxpayers attempting to voluntarily comply with their tax responsibilities, including people who are more comfortable with other languages," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "We are continually increasing the information and services available in other languages as well as expanding our interpreter services so that we can interact in a more respectful manner with taxpayers in their most comfortable language. We expect to continue these important efforts as we work to earn the trust and respect of every American."
As part of this expansion, many of the pages on the IRS.gov site are now available in seven languages and basic tax information is newly available in 20 languages on IRS.gov. It also means that taxpayers who interact with an IRS representative now have access to over the phone interpreter services in more than 350 languages. The IRS has also recently begun inserting information about translation services and other multilingual options into the high-volume notices that IRS sends out to taxpayers.
While the IRS has long provided some assistance in Spanish and some other languages, the agency is increasing the materials available in multiple languages and expanding outreach with multilingual community partners. Most recently, the IRS worked with partners in the tax and low-income communities and provided them with information and resources that they quickly translated and made available in an unprecedented 35 languages, promoting the Economic Impact Payments.
