It’s that time of year again when receipts must be collected and spreadsheets created to prepare for tax season.
Most small business owners have many tasks already on their calendar and might be tempted to approach taxes like just another item to quickly be crossed off of the to-do list. However, this approach could leave small business owners or contractors open to mistakes when filing and paying unnecessary taxes. Taxes are not only one of the cornerstones of financial success for a business, but of legal significance as well.
Start preparing your business taxes early this year. It can help minimize tax burdens, increase deductions, and avoid a last-minute scramble. While online tax services are convenient, there is no substitute for getting personalized, professional assistance to understand how your business’s taxes need to be filed. No one wants to end up overpaying taxes after all. One benefit of having professional assistance with taxes is saving money that could be used elsewhere for your business or personal enjoyment. Another benefit is the comfort of knowing you haven’t missed any important details, such as a qualified deduction. The key when meeting with a professional tax preparer or when attempting to do it yourself is to be prepared.
Learn how to prepare your taxes from a certified public accountant with West Business Development Center’s new workshop: Tax Prep For Businesses and Contractors.
Tax Prep For Businesses and Contractors Workshop is led by CPA expert Joe Arch. His informative 2-hour workshop will give hands-on experience on how to properly complete small business or independent contractors’ taxes. Joe Arch has been one of the most respected auditors and tax consultants in California for over 30 years and will teach how to avoid the common small business tax pitfalls.
