FILE EVERYTHING -
RIGHT AWAY!
Remember: Keep your tax records straight! Make sure everything is filed away right! For people who are reading this and are the proud owners of messy offices and come equipped with office paper with a little bit of desk underneath, this simple task may seem overwhelming large for you right now. The keyword of course is- right now.

How to avoid any IRS trouble: Maintain at least three years worth of tax returns and records
  • Make sure all taxable investments or property have their cost basis tracked.
  • Put all your bills in organized folders (which are in turn organized so you can easily find them, i.e. not laying on your desk gathering dust for months being swallowed up by other paper work)
  • Categorize all of your receipts from purchases throughout the year.
  • Maintain a ledger for all checkbook stubs
  • Use a journal to keep track of all deductible items that you attain as you attain them. (Beats trying to remember what you had that was deductible at the end of the year!)
All of these will become your battalion of defense in an IRS audit. This IRS assistance is some of the most powerful and easiest things you can do right now to avoid any IRS trouble. With all of that being said, hiring good IRS representation is still a great idea even if you are already doing this.

KEEP YOUR RECORDS STRAIGHT
No one likes an audit, especially an IRS audit. However, getting an IRS audit is only a matter of time, more of a question of when rather than If, so you should be prepared. The best way you can possibly prepare for an IRS audit for your Atlanta business (or any business for that matter) is by doing one very simple task.

Keep your tax records straight! Make sure everything is filed away right! For people who are reading this and are the proud owners of messy offices and come equipped with office paper with a little bit of desk underneath, this simple task may seem overwhelming large for you right now. The keyword of course is- right now.

By doing this, you ensure yourself the greatest chance of avoiding any IRS trouble that may be in your future. Sure, it might seem like a major hassle right now, but you will thank your past self for their amazing foresight when it comes time for your inevitable IRS audit. The great thing is once you do this once, get all your records straight, and use your shovel (or forklift loader depending on your situation) to remove all those papers and records from your desk into actual systematic filings, it is going be easy sailing from here on out.

Once the first big mess is done and filed, you can make a routine of doing it. Once it becomes habit, keeping your tax records up to date and accurate will be a simple job that will only take a few minutes for you to do. The important thing is to do it now.

Next month we will cover some of the things you want to look for and file correctly to avoid any IRS trouble.
