2 Top 5 Tax Problems 1. Poor Record Keeping 2. Dubious Tax Deductible Business Expenses 3. Payroll Tax Problems 4. Not Classifying Workers Properly 5. Wrong Corporate Structure 1. Poor Record Keeping Most small businesses that fail to comply with their tax reporting requirements are not dishonest, they're just bad record keepers. What records should you keep? How should you organize them? How long should you keep them? Paper or digital? 2
3 2. Dubious Tax Deductible Business Expenses 5 business deductions commonly targeted by the IRS are: Entertainment Car Home Office Business Gifts Equipment & Supplies 3. Payroll Tax Problems What are your payroll tax requirements? Do you have to pay quarterly taxes? How do you pay? What happens if you don t pay? 3
4 4. Not Classifying Workers Properly For small business owners, choosing between hiring employees or independent contractors is an important decision that defines not just working relationships, but taxation as well. Employee vs. Independent Contractor What are the tax requirements for each? What happens if I misclassify workers? 5. Wrong Corporate Structure Each corporate structure has different implications for legal liability, expenses and procedures, and taxation. Which is best for you? Sole Proprietorship Partnership S Corporation C Corporation Limited Liability Company 4
5 What to do if the IRS does contact you: Even if you ve done everything right, the IRS may come calling. If this happens to you, relax. Most IRS notices are nonthreatening if handled correctly. What is the notice saying? Call the IRS Follow instructions Gather documentation Respond or Contact a Tax Attorney IRS Publications IRS Pub 334 Tax Guide for Small Business IRS Pub 505 Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax IRS Pub 535 Business Expenses IRS Pub 463 Travel, Entertainment, Gift, and Car Expenses IRS Pub 587 Business Use of Your Home IRS Pub 1779 Independent Contractor or Employee 5
