Ways to reduce the chance of an audit

2. Make sure the IRS has your correct address.

3. Report all of your income. The IRS has software programs to find people who don’t report all of their income.

4. Keep records of advice given to your by your tax professional.

Here are just a few examples of things and ways to be prepared for the 2017 tax season. We are personally using the Tax Bot app to make it easier when it is time to hand it over to our CPA. We really like the mileage tracker on this app. It does everything for you, you just have to classify what the business trip was for. We are by no means tax experts, that is why we recommend finding an established professional like ours, that is familiar with network marketing business. For all of our local friends we use Kevin Sizemore and highly recommend him as he is very knowledgeable about Network Marketing.
