Unfortunately, filing taxes &#8212; on an individual and\/or on a company level &#8212; is not necessarily straightforward. In fact, it can be far from it. Why are taxes so complicated? What do individual tax payers and businesses need to know before filing taxes?<\/p>\n<h2>There&#8217;s Nothing Wrong With Asking For Help<\/h2>\n<p>According to Business Insider, the pages of the U.S. tax code has increased by 16,775% over the last 100 years. With all of these tax codes, laws, and nuances, it is no wonder that U.S. tax payers will spend an average of eight hours preparing a single tax form. Moreover, &#8220;guess-timating&#8221; and writing off tax deductions that you are not entirely sure about can result in an audit. If you don&#8217;t know what you are doing, hiring a professional can spare you audits, fines, and even potential legal troubles.<\/p>\n<h2>Company Taxes Should Not Be Up For Discussion<\/h2>\n<p>One of the best accounting tips and tricks (and particularly for small businesses taxes) is to share financial information and tax information only when it&#8217;s absolutely necessary. Your employees are not Skylar from Breaking Bad, and they are not likely to cover-up shady practices and tax write-offs for you. In fact, employees can earn up to 30% of business taxes collected when they tip-off the IRS. Pay all taxes on-time, and keep financial matters and financial risk management relatively confidential.<\/p>\n<h2>In Nearly All Cases, You Need To Pay Taxes<\/h2>\n<p>Some studies show that as many as 47% of U.S. men and women do not pay taxes. Of course, there are reasonable explanations; some Americans do not meet the minimum income requirements, and therefore they are exempt from paying. However, there are a large portion of Americans who do not pay because they disagree with some &#8212; or all &#8212; federal taxes. This is a grave error. Write to your local politician. Vote. Do not risk legal troubles for tax evasion.<\/p>\n<p>What are the best accounting tips and tricks? Hire tax services and professionals as necessary, always pay your taxes, and keep business taxes as private as possible.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-363\" data-postid=\"363\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-363 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a good reason Americans hire more than 1 million tax accountants or small business tax preparation professionals per year.
