Disadvantages of Choosing to File Taxes Without Software

Small business owners know that filing taxes is sometimes just as complicated as it is important. A trustworthy and comprehensive program can do a lot for your business that you cannot do with manual reporting. Consider getting your own program to:

Save Time and Effort – Getting software that allows you to file directly to agencies will make gathering information quicker and more accurate. Freeing up your time will help your business focus on its core operations.

Reduce the Risk of Errors – Some errors happen with or without software. A good program reduces the risk of making avoidable errors rather than if you try to file taxes without software and lack the key automation. 

Simplify How and When You Send Forms – It can feel overwhelming as you try to navigate all of the intricate tax situations without enough support from the IRS. Figuring out self-employment income or doing multiple deductions for employees can delay you in meeting the filing deadlines if you are not efficient in other ways.

Avoid Missing Tax Opportunities – Do not let manual reporting or handing off your filing duties keep you from getting the deductions or credits a small business may be eligible to receive. Use software to keep up-to-date with the relevant tax codes.
