Suddenly, ERC consultants were coming out of the woodwork, trying to 'help' business owners qualify for 'free' government money during and after the pandemic. However, the money wasn't as free as you may have thought, and the IRS is now cracking down on those who took advantage of the system (and some may not have realized that they took advantage of it).

In this episode of Beyond Bitewings, Lynne and Ash talk about everything you need to know to avoid potential fines and even criminal convictions!

Certain life events come with financial decisions attached, whether anyone's thinking about them in the moment or not.

A child turning 13 changes what's eligible under a Dependent Care FSA. Turning 65 shifts the conversation from health insurance to long-term care planning. An inheritance brings its own tax rules depending on what kind of assets are involved.

None of these moments need to derail a celebration, but a quick conversation afterward can save a costly mistake later.

Did you get caught up in the hype of the ERC Credit? This credit was given to business owners during the pandemic, and many got caught up in the excitement of vague rules and 'easy' money.

As the government became more strict with the rules and started cracking down on those who took advantage of the system, those business owners were caught in the middle. So, if you received money back from this credit, you may want to have someone help you double-check that you actually did quality for it and that you did all of your paperwork correctly.

Manson & Chi Dentistry came to Edwards & Associates buried in the kind of paperwork that has nothing to do with dentistry and everything to do with keeping a practice running.

The shift wasn't just better bookkeeping. It was practice management rebuilt around what the numbers actually meant, so decisions stopped being reactive.

The IRS has significantly expanded its use of AI, growing from 10 reported use cases in 2022 to 126 active use cases as of June 2025, according to a recent GAO report.

Some of those tools are being used to help identify returns that may warrant closer review. For business owners, that makes good recordkeeping as important as ever. If a deduction or expense is questioned, having solid documentation created at the time of the transaction puts you in a much better position to support it.
