After several years of low examination rates the IRS has determined to increase small business audit rates by 50%. This means it’s more important than ever to balance tax planning goals with the fact that the IRS is planning to scrutinize more small businesses to ensure legal and ethical tax compliance.

If you want to reduce your taxes as much as legally can and still have peace of the mind that the IRS is not coming for you, then you’ll want to read this article.

Ethical tax planning means following the tax code and implementing strategies that benefit your bottom line, but also ensure that you are not triggering a red flag which could mean an audit is on the way.

You are not obliged to pay any more taxes than you are ethically obliged to pay pursuant to the tax code. This means you absolutely should take advantage of tax laws that have a positive effect on your bottom line.

At the same time, you need to weary of “backyard bar-b-que tax planning”. That’s what I call tax advice that comes from someone other than a CPA Tax Specialist. Before getting advice from someone, you should check their pedigree –

1) Does this person have any professional credentials? Are they a Certified Public Accountant (CPA)?

2) What are people saying about their services? Do they guarantee any of their advice?

3) Has this person written any literature or books on the subject of tax planning? Does this person own their own CPA firm?

These are just a few items that you should on your checklist before taking advice about tax planning.

In addition, you should continue to implement legal and ethical tax strategies.

Depending on your situation, you can reduce your taxes by as much as 10-30% by incorporating legal loopholes.

For those reasons, I’ve put together an extraordinary report about how you can ethically reduce taxes without having to worry about an IRS audit.
