July 17, 2009

While the Tax Update takes its summer vacation, we have serializing my chapter in "How Business Gets Done: Words of Wisdom by Central Iowa Experts." The following are "additional resources" included at the end of the chapter. You can buy your own copy of the book at Lulu.com by clicking on the link.

Five Questions to ask yourself:

1.   Do I really know that I am collecting sales taxes on 
     the right things?
2.   Have I considered whether I have liability for taxes 
     in other states lately?
3.   Have I checked my payroll tax account online to 
     make sure my payroll clerk or payroll provider has 
     been making the payments?
4.   Has my business outgrown my old tax professional?
5.   Is my business structure the right one?  Why?
