Helpful Tax Tips, FAQs & Resources for Individuals and Small Businesses

Nobody likes surprises from the IRS — especially the kind that cost you money. Here are five practical ways to avoid common tax penalties this year:

1. File On Time
Even if you can't pay, file your return. The Failure to File Penalty is much worse than the Failure to Pay Penalty.

2. Pay Estimated Taxes Quarterly (If You're Self-Employed)
Freelancers and small business owners need to make estimated tax payments 4x a year. Missing them can result in underpayment penalties.

3. Double-Check for Accuracy
A simple typo in your SSN or bank account info can delay your refund and flag your return for a manual review.

4. Keep Organized Records
Save receipts, mileage logs, and invoices. Good records = fewer headaches if the IRS ever audits you.

5. Don’t Ignore IRS Letters
They won't go away on their own. The sooner you respond, the more options you have.

***Can I Write Off Therapy Room Expenses on My Taxes?***

If you're a physical therapist, psychotherapist, or occupational therapist running your own practice, you may be eligible to deduct your workspace and business-related costs.

Here’s what you can usually write off:

✔ Rent for Office Space or Home Office
If used exclusively for business, this can be a big deduction.

✔ Supplies & Equipment
This includes exam tables, therapy tools, computers, software (like SimplePractice), and PPE.

✔ Business Use of Vehicle
Traveling between client locations? You may qualify for a mileage deduction.

✔ Continuing Education & Licensure
Courses, certifications, and license renewal fees are generally deductible.

✅ Pro Tip: Keep your business and personal expenses separate. A clean paper trail helps you stay audit-proof.

***What to Do If You Haven’t Filed Taxes in Years***

If you haven’t filed taxes in 2, 5, or even 10+ years — you're not alone, and it's not too late to fix it.

Here’s a quick roadmap to getting back on track:

Step 1: Don’t Panic
The IRS wants compliance more than punishment. Coming forward voluntarily gives you better options.

Step 2: Gather Your Info
Start by requesting wage and income transcripts from the IRS (we can help with that). These show what forms were filed in your name.

Step 3: Prioritize the Last 6 Years
The IRS usually requires at least the past 6 years of returns to consider your account current.

Step 4: File the Returns
We’ll help you prepare accurate, penalty-minimized returns for each year.

Step 5: Explore Resolution Options
If you owe, we’ll explore payment plans, offer in compromise, or first-time penalty abatement.
