Part 1 of 2 - Why Having Proper Tax Records Now Will Save You Big on an IRS Audit Later

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.
