Tax season is a time that many dread—not just because of the payments owed, but also the mountain of paperwork that comes with preparing for it. For employees, the tax-filing process is often quite simple. However, for entrepreneurs and small business owners, things can get a little more complicated. If you identify as a business owner, this article is tailored just for you!
