Business provides complete tax and recordkeeping information for

corporation, partnership), what the tax differences are between being
an employee and a self-employed person, which business expenses are
deductible and what proof the IRS expects to see, how to reduce your
chances of being audited, whether you need to make quarterly estimated
tax payments (and how to calculate the amount to send), how to deduct a
home office (or should you?), whether you can deduct your business
vehicle (and what records you need), how to choose a tax preparer or a
bookkeeper, what taxes self-employed people pay, which tax forms are
filed by sole proprietors, whether it’s a good idea to prepare your own
return using a tax preparation program, how to set up a simple record
keeping system, and much much more.
