Our focus here is on Income Tax, specifically federal.

The data you turn in to the Internal Revenue Service for your federal tax is what most states also use determine your state income tax bill, so your federal tax reporting has a huge influence on your total after-tax income, which provides your financial life-support.

Our goal is to help business owners understand their income tax responsibilities.

We want to show entrepreneurs how to handle these responsibilities, while claiming all the legitimate deductions to which they are entitled.

NOTE: if you are looking to illegally evade taxes, you’ll find NO HELP HERE! Anyone who even thinks of stepping outside the bounds of what’s legitimate is not just dishonest, but a true idiot and deserves whatever punishment catches up with you -- and it will!

You are out of your mind to risk the continuity of your business and the security of your family for some hair-brained chizzler scheme, instead of stepping up and paying your fair share!
