TAX SAVING STRATEGIES FOR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS

SUCCESS STORIES
Some Examples of Owner Robert C. Barnett CPA (RCB) consulting with others...
 

Scenario 1 – From W-2 Employee to Independent Contractor
 

High Income Professional W-2 Employee no longer had position

Obtained High Income Independent Contractor position – RCB consulted with and provided tax savings strategies and other compliance related services for them to be able to better operate effectively.

 

Scenario 2 – Woman Owned Small Business Owner

For the first time obtained a contact with a Fortune Ten Company. Met RCB at a networking event six months into the start of the contract. By the end of the year she was able to gross over $1 million. She initially brought RCB on to get her tax compliant. She saw based on the depth of RCB’s business knowledge (although very good at taxes) it was more than just taxes. It was also Business Advisory. She was able to compete very effectively with at least two of the major corporate competitors that were also providing similar services to the Fortune Ten Company.
 
As she stated “You don’t know what you don’t know”, and she was able to concentrate on her area of specialty. Also, it is not necessarily how much you gross but how much you keep.

RCB met with him on a few occasions, got familiar with the details of his case and requested the IRS reopen the case. RCB met with the IRS Officer for eight hours going over seven different issues. At end of eight hours Small Business Owner went from owing $130,000 to owing only $20,000 based on RCB showing he did not owe $130,000. IRS Officer complemented RCB on Professionalism and approach.

Myth-Filing for Tax Extensions Increases Audit Chances

Does the IRS become suspicious when you ask for more time to file your taxes? Absolutely not. Businesses have hundreds of legitimate reasons why they may not be able to meet the march 15th and April 15th deadlines. Filing for an extension shows that employers are committed to filing their taxes accurately, which actually decreases the chances of an audit.
The truth is that over 10 million businesses and taxpayers are granted six-month filing extensions every year. This actually helps the IRS during the peak season and there is absolutely no evidence of late filers being audited more often. This myth is inaccurate.
