This week on P&L, I'm joined by my long-time friend and trusted CPA, Gil Vollmering, partner at Waters, Vollmering, Beavers and Addams. This episode dives into the current state of the IRS, exploring Gil's unique perspective as a former internal auditor for the agency. We discuss the IRS's struggles with outdated technology, the real reason you should always extend rather than amend your tax return, and the strict privacy measures required when integrating AI into the accounting world. We also tackle the critical importance of keeping your wealth management and tax advisory firms independent to ensure you receive truly objective, conflict-free advice.
Tune in this week on P&L to learn the best practices for navigating tax season and why proactive communication with your CPA is your best defense against the IRS.
