New Year...New Business?
Taxes are an important and inevitable part of running a business, but owners, particularly those who are just starting up, need to avoid what accountants call “the tax tail wagging the dog.” In other words, don’t make business decisions based on how many deductions you might be able to take — spend money primarily because it makes good business sense.
