IRS has information and tools to help reporters

Reporters, producers and editors will find links to a variety of resources and multimedia files to help them report the latest tax news. The IRS also has other tools such as press kits, news releases, public service advertisements, and sound bites.

Videos – Members of the media can find IRS videos on YouTube. The IRS has video channels that provide short, informative videos on various tax topics in English, American Sign Language and Spanish.
