Has the IRS gotten hip?
Reaching out to taxpayers in creative ways has the nation's taxman using the YouTube video site and an iTunes podcast to talk about tax breaks in the federal stimulus bill.
The YouTube videos are in English, Spanish and American Sign Language.
They include information about the $8,000 first-time homebuyer's credit for people who purchase a house this year, the sales or excise tax deduction on new car purchases and the expanded credits for education and energy conservation.
The vidoes are at www.youtube.com/irsvideos
The podcasts can be heard at the iTunes site for people with an iTunes account.
They also can be heard in English and Spanish by clicking into the Multimedia Center of www.irs.gov
