FREE Small Business Federal Tax WorkshopOctober 06, 2021

Small businesses can get ahead of tax season with the help of a FREE small business federal tax workshop. New business owners, independent contractors and self-employed individuals are invited to this workshop presented in Spanish and co-hosted by Midland College (MC) Business and Economic Development Center (BEDC), Casa de Amigos and The Midland Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, Oct. 12, from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Casa de Amigos. To register, visit the MC website,  or call Alfredo at 432-682-9701

Special presenter, Leticia Cueto of Flores Tax Services and Bookkeeping will go over many of the financial solutions to problems that come up for small businesses such as 

• Reducing taxable income via business deductions
• Recordkeeping tips
• Accessing community business resources
• Avoiding problems with the IRS
• Estimating taxes
   

“It is never too late to learn tips and guidance about taxes,” Cueto said. “I am very excited to help the small businesses in our community succeed. It is very important that everyone has the opportunity to learn about tax-related topics, so when the time comes to do their taxes, small businesses, contractors and the self-employed can be prepared. It is important for all of us to understand the benefits of the business deductions the IRS offers.”

An English workshop with similar themes is planned to occur in early 2022.
