ARRA Products and a Podcast from IRS.gov

E-products are now available on irs.gov for you to promote 5 provisions of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). Those provisions are as follows:

• Education Credit
• Energy Credit
• Making Work Pay
• Homebuyers Credit
• Purchasing a new vehicle credit

These products are currently only available electronically, however an order for printed copies should be available shortly.

The flyers and posters are in PDF format and can be printed for use. However we do recommend not saving the PDF file of the posters and including it in an email as an attachment, because it is too large and will clog up your system. So when sharing with your partners, providing them with the link is a better option.

Learn more and download flyers and posters....

Listen to the pod casts....
