Not all tax rules are created equal.
State tax laws can look very different from federal ones, some don’t tax income at all, while others tax things the IRS skips. Don’t get caught off guard!

If the IRS sends you Letter 525 or Letter 950, you’ll generally have 30 days to request consideration by the IRS Independent Office of Appeals.

Responding within that timeframe keeps the administrative appeal process available.

But what you submit depends on the amount in dispute:
• $25,000 or less you can qualify for a Small Case Request
• More than $25,000 a Formal Written Protest is generally required

If you don’t request Appeals review within the 30-day period, the IRS will continue processing the proposed audit changes.

For an income tax deficiency case, the next formal step is a 90-Day Statutory Notice of Deficiency. That notice gives you 90 days from its date to petition the Tax Court if you still disagree with the proposed tax.

If you’ve received Letter 525 or 950, DM us. We can review what the letter requests and help you determine the appropriate next steps.

If you’re operating as a sole proprietor, there’s no legal separation between you and your business.

So if your business can’t pay a creditor or gets hit with a lawsuit, your personal savings, home, or vehicles could be exposed too.

As your business grows, make sure the way you operate reflects that growth.

That may mean forming an LLC or corporation, then moving your business banking, contracts, insurance policies, vendor accounts, and payment processors into the company’s legal name.

The goal is to create a clearer line between what belongs to you personally and what belongs to the business.
