Effective bookkeeping allows an accurate tax return to be prepared. But when that tax return yields a balance due, what are the next steps for your tax paying client? Pay in full? Installment agreement? Are these the only two options? And how does a tax payer prevent large balances in the future? By being told to increase their withholdings? In this presentation, you gain insight into how tax resolution fits in to the tax services environment and how you as a tax professional can provide real and satisfying advice to your clients who are looking for less anxious solutions for their large tax balances. You will also gain insight in to the fears your clients may be facing and how you as the tax professional can help them alleviate those fears, helping them to gain even more confidence in you and lead to referral business from their peers.
