Beware the Tax Scare: The Basics

Before we dive into the treats, let's confront the tricks. Tax season can be a frightful experience if you're unprepared. Start by organizing your financial records, tracking expenses, and understanding key tax deadlines. Don't let tax-related horrors haunt your business; knowledge is your most potent weapon.

Unmasking the Deductions: Business Expenses

Every small business owner loves a good costume party, and the IRS does too – in the form of deductions! Halloween decorations, costumes for employees, and even themed marketing campaigns can be tax-deductible if they're related to your business. Just be sure to keep records of these expenses, so you don't vanish into the tax abyss.

The Ghosts of Past Returns: Amending and Correcting

Don't be spooked by past tax mistakes. If you've identified errors on previous tax returns, don't hesitate to amend them. It's better to address these issues now than to have them haunt you in the future. Our expert tax planners can help you navigate the process.

Potent Potions: Tax Credits and Incentives

Did you know that there are tax credits and incentives designed to help small businesses? Explore options like the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit, Employee Retention Credit, or Work Opportunity Tax Credit. These magical elixirs can significantly reduce your tax liability.

Curses or Blessings: Employee Benefits

Providing employee benefits, like health insurance or retirement plans, can be tax-advantageous for both you and your employees. Discover how offering these benefits can be a treat for your bottom line while attracting and retaining top talent.

The Tax Monster Under the Bed: The Auditor

As your small business grows, so do your tax responsibilities. The chances of getting chosen for an audit are slim, but it is your responsibility to make sure you are prepared for an audit. This means keeping financial records and receipts, not bluffing your expense numbers, and being able to account for and explain loans, transfers, and other transactions.
