Does anyone know useful websites for industry-specific tax/business issues which can give you overviews for new clients in specific industries?

Industry specific

You might try Google. Type in the type of industry you are looking for.
Also, try the IRS industry guidelines.

Trade Organizations

Also, check out trade associations in that industry. Google or use your favorite search engine or just search from your internet browser. You might have to join or piggyback on your client's membership to get into the depths of the website, but they probably have topics re taxation of that industry and helpful tax links specifically for your client's situation. Let us know if you find any really good ones.

Here's a link to the IRS website where you can view Audit Technique Guides for specific industries. The MSSP papers are the instructions the IRS gives to revenue agents when auditing a particular industry.
