Don’t let expense report blunders trigger higher taxes

April 6, 2015

Do you operate your business as an S or C corporation?

Do you reimburse yourself (the owner-employee) and/or your employees for the business expenses you or they incur?

If you do, you could be losing thousands of dollars worth of tax deductions as I’ll explain in my new article.

You see, if you don’t follow the IRS’s expense reporting rules (“accountable plan” rules) you’re exposing yourself and your employees to unnecessary taxes. Taxes that can add up to many thousands of dollars.

Be alert. The accountable plan rules apply to proprietorships, too.

Want to stay out of trouble and keep your hard-earned money in your pocket where it belongs? Read my new article titled Tax Tips: Don’t Let Expense Report Blunders Trigger Unnecessary Taxes, Punishing You and Your Employees!

  2. You’ll learn the consequences of being both an owner and an employee. If you operate your business as an S or a C corporation, you are an employee of the corporation.

We’ll show you how to avoid them when you read the full article.
  3. We’ll explain the four accounting plan rules you need to know now. Fact: It’s vitally important that you create a written accountable plan that you can show your friendly IRS agents if they come calling.
