- Future capital needs
What if I haven’t filed tax returns for prior years?
The risks aren’t worth your peace of mind.
It’s crucial to remember delaying the filing of your taxes increases your costs and potentially the IRS can seize your assets, so you should act quickly to avoid these consequences.

- Make sure all of the information is available to file a complete and accurate return.

If you’re unable to pay your owed taxes in full, the IRS has payment programs for taxpayers that cannot pay their tax liability.

A necessary business expense is a cost that is related to or associated with your business.
There are various itemized deductions and potential adjustments to reduce your taxable income.
