Overview -- How Will This Site Help Me With Taxes?

Dear Small Business Owner,

Income tax issues are far more complex and crucial to the owners of small businesses than they are to people with jobs. Here in Idea Cafe’s Small Business Tax Center sponsored by EFTPS we aim to clarify the complexity of federal income taxes and suggest strategies on how to best deal with them for our fellow small business owners.

Most tax information is written in accountant-speak or government-speak, but not here at Business Owners Idea Cafe. We’ll talk taxes in down-to-earth language from the small business point of view.

The information and suggestions on this site should not be taken as advice for your particular situation or as professional guidance or as the official word of the IRS or any other source. Instead, use it as food for thought that you can discuss with your own advisors or research further on your own. Please read our Terms of Use to understand the details of your responsibilities as a user of this site.

We’ll share what I’ve learned about dealing with tax issues in my own business adventures. Plus, we’ll provide specific information we’ve “translated” from accountants and the IRS. And we will show you how to find and maximize the services of both tax professionals and the U.S. Department of Treasury to best benefit your small company and its owner -- you!

Please join me in hearty virtual applause to thank EFTPS, Electronic Federal Tax Payment System, the sponsor who has made it possible for us to bring Idea Cafe’s Small Business Tax Center to you!

Best of Biz,
The Team at Business Owners Idea Cafe, Inc.
The site with “A Fun Approach to Serious Business”SM
