What this guide won’t teach you
To distill the entire IRS website would be overwhelming. So this guide won’t get until the minutiae of filing your tax returns (you can learn more about that in our guide to filing and paying small business taxes). However, if you follow this guide, your business will be well-prepared for tax time.
