When should a business owner seek assistance for tax problems?

So, generally a business owner should seek assistance for tax problems as early as possible. All too often, taxpayers believe everything is fine, and they try to handle the audit themselves a lot of the time, only to find out that they were doing many things incorrectly. And if left unchecked, many of the people acting on behalf of these taxing authorities such as auditors, they tend to have a field day with these taxpayers as one-on-one conversations without preparation can often lead these auditors down many paths that taxpayers don’t want them to go. Business owners should obtain an attorney in these situations to act as a check on the auditor, to guide and limit the potential scope of the audit.
