Request a visit from a tax consultant
What is a tax consultation?
Upon request, a representative from the Department of Revenue will visit your office and explain how state taxes apply to your specific business activities.
How does it work?
The representative will:
- Spend a couple of hours reviewing your type of business and its operations.
- Explain how to properly report your taxes and answer any questions you may have.
- As a result of the Consultation Visit, you will not be issued an assessment. If any misreporting is discovered, you will have an opportunity to amend your past returns.
- Give you a written summary of the topics discussed. You may also request written instructions to help you fill out future tax returns.
Who can benefit from a consultation visit?
Business owners struggling to understand how to report their taxes properly will benefit from a short consultation visit.
