Tax Returns and Tax Planning Recommendations
Tax planning pertains to the process of studying different ways involving tax management to determine how to conduct personal transactions or business to reduce or eradicate tax liability. Many small businesses ignore tax planning but this is an ongoing process and getting a good tax advice is very important. There are actually tax provisions, deductions, and credits existing and governed by the law which is legally acceptable, so you can take advantage of these by discussing these with your CPA or tax advisor whether you are engaged in a small, medium, or large business.
Keep in mind that although there are ways to reduce or eliminate your taxes, performing tax actions with deceit, concealment, or subterfuge is illegal, but tax avoidance planning is completely legal. Any tax action with a fraudulent intention is tax evasion. The IRS examiner checks four different areas for any possible fraud such as accounting irregularities, failing to report substantial amounts of income, claims for improper or fictitious deductions on a return, and improper allocation of income. Failing to report a portion of your daily business receipts or shareholder’s dividends is fraudulent and may lead to a tax evasion case. Travel expenses that are overpriced or stated and a large reduction in the taxpayer’s claim for charitable contributions are also fraudulent activities that may lead to tax evasion case. Another type of fraudulent activity includes failure to keep adequate financial records or discrepancies on tax returns. An example of improper income allocation is distributing earnings to a lower tax bracket taxpayer such as the shareholder’s children.
