If you ever have a tax question, check out IRS.gov. One very helpful tool there is the Interactive Tax Assistant (ITA). The ITA tool is a tax law resource that takes you through a series of questions and provides you with answers. (You can print them out if you wish.)

Just type what you want to know in the ITA search box, or click one of the popular ITA topics. To get started, go to IRS.gov/ita.
