Understanding your tax and compliance obligations is essential for protecting your business and avoiding costly surprises. Structured as a guided FAQ, the presentation will break down the key points every small business owner should know for their local, state, and federal filings to stay compliant and confidently manage tax responsibilities throughout the year.

Following the presentation, there will be time for general Q&A. While specific situations cannot be reviewed in a group setting, attendees will have the opportunity to ask broader questions and better understand how to approach filing taxes with confidence.

You’ll learn:

• What local taxes and licenses your business may need

• How county-level business property tax and meals tax may apply to you

• Which businesses must collect and remit state sales and use tax

• What state unemployment tax means for employers

• Industry-specific taxes (fuel, tobacco, and others) you may encounter

• When and why your business needs an EIN

• The difference between W-2 and 1099 income—and how self-employment tax works

• Federal unemployment requirements and filing expectations

This session is ideal for business owners who want to clearly understand their tax landscape before tax season arrives.
