By the time they find out, some of them owe back-taxes, penalties, and interest that result in closing their business or even worse, having to declare bankruptcy. This presentation will help you learn how to avoid tax problems, and provide you with a model for maintaining good record keeping techniques. Topics will include business tax deductions, taxpayer services, taxpayer ID numbers, employee withholding, payroll tax requirements and withholding, sales tax responsibility, record keeping systems, accounting methods, as well as keeping business records.
