As you work towards building a strong business and comfortable family life, you naturally want to minimize the tax implications on your personal and business transactions. Yet at the same time, it’s important that you be aware of the rules and regulations for tax reporting, especially now that the IRS and NC Department of Revenue (NCDOR) are heightening their collection efforts.
