Small tax mistakes can cost you thousands, even when you think youโ€™re doing everything right.

From missing a filing deadline to misunderstanding how a deduction works, small errors can quickly turn into penalties, lost deductions, and a higher tax bill.

In this episode, Mike answers real tax questions from small business owners covering gambling losses, BOI reporting, moving an S corporation to another state, the Augusta Rule, HSAs, late 1099s, estimated tax penalties, startup expenses, vehicle write-offs, and more. He breaks down the rules, explains the available options, and shares practical steps to help you stay compliant and avoid costly tax mistakes.
