New Business Start-Up Assistance

STARTING A NEW BUSINESS REQUIRES CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF MANY TAX AND NON-TAX ISSUES.

Here are some questions to consider as you get your business up and running.

• What legal form is most appropriate for my business?
• What federal and state taxes will my business be responsible for?
• What types of expenses are deductible and not deductible? (Please call for my Business Tax Deduction Checklist)
• How can I minimize my taxes, avoid IRS penalties, and reduce my audit risk
• What types of retirement plans are available to reduce my taxes and save for
  retirement?
• What type of business records do I need to keep, how do I keep them, and
  for how long?
• What do I need to do if I hire employees or independent contractors?
• How do I pay myself as a business owner?
• What are the reasons the IRS or state will audit my business taxes?
• What types of insurance do I need to protect myself and my business?
