In this episode, Ryan and Jeff Hockett discuss:

• Common mistakes business owners make with their taxes and how to avoid them.
• How to help business owners who haven't filed taxes in years and accrued penalties, interest, and debts navigate the IRS forgiveness process.
• The importance of filing tax returns as a business owner is to update the IRS on true income and avoid incorrect audits and tax liability, with a focus on pass-through income.
• Maximizing tax savings by accurately reporting business expenses to the IRS through timely tax return filing.

Key Takeaways:

• Working with a professional to be IRS compliant can prevent penalties, liens, and frozen bank accounts, leading to financial ruin, so it's important to open IRS letters and seek help.
• A tax expert assists business owners in complying with the IRS, avoiding trouble, and offering solutions for tax resolution.
• Filing tax returns accurately and on time is crucial to avoid penalties and to report accurate income, which can affect tax credits.
• Reporting business expenses in tax returns is necessary to provide proof to the IRS and reduce the amount owed in taxes.

"Once you get compliant, stay compliant. That's what the IRS wants. That's why they'll give you a fresh start, but if you keep messing it up, they're gonna want to come talk to you and find out what's going on." — Jeff Hockett
