There have been dire predictions of small business owners being ushered to jail for failing to file and fears of tax professionals rounded up for the unauthorized practice of law (UPL).

Want to see how top tax strategists legally use C corporations as private retirement vaults while avoiding double taxation and IRS scrutiny? Continue reading to learn the blueprint.
When TikTok Tax Hacks Backfire: Helping Clients Misled by Social Media Scams
Jessica, a self-employed consultant, was thrilled when she found a viral TikTok video promising a “little-known” tax trick. The video claimed she could get a huge refund by claiming a special Fuel Tax Credit and even writing off her family’s beach vacation as a business expense. Following the advice, Jessica filed an amended tax return and waited eagerly for a windfall. A few months later, instead of a refund check, Jessica received a stern IRS notice. Her so-called credits were disallowed, her refund was denied, and she now faced penalties. Jessica isn’t alone.
