Payroll Taxes

One thing that an accountant can do for you is to do your payroll for you. When they do the payroll, they will be able to make sure that all the tax withholdings are taken out as they should be. Having those payroll taxes taken out correctly can help keep you out of trouble with the IRS, especially since your accountant should be keeping records as to which withholdings are taken out and the records proving that the withholdings have been paid on the way that they should be. 

Business vs. Personal Taxes

As a small business owner, you may not take out a salary, instead plowing the money back into the business. You may also put other personal monies into the business, including paying some of the bills or payroll. That means that finances might be a right mess which will take a long time to untangle. Luckily, your accountant will be able to help keep track of which monies went where. Then when it's time to file taxes, they will be able to help you with your personal taxes and help you figure out what you need to pay. Then they can help you with your business taxes, which can be very confusing and which can take you a lot of time to try to figure out on your own and you may end up missing something which could result in your having an audit by the Internal Revenue Service, the result of which could be that you have to pay a lot of money to the IRS. It's easier to just have a professional take care of your taxes for you. 

If you are a small business owner, dealing with all the financial aspects can be very confusing, especially when it comes to tax season. Having a tax return filing service to help you navigate your taxes should make everything easier on you.
