How Bookkeeping Mistakes Cause IRS Trouble (and How Steve Perry Fixes It Fast)

When small bookkeeping mistakes turn into IRS trouble, it’s never just about numbers. It’s about peace of mind and survival. If your books are messy or outdated, the IRS can and will notice. Don’t wait for the letter to arrive. Contact Steve Perry at Books, Taxes & More today to protect your business before it’s too late.

Bookkeeping errors might look harmless at first. A missing receipt. A misclassified expense. A late reconciliation. But over time, these “little mistakes” form a paper trail that doesn’t add up in the IRS’s eyes. The result? A potential audit, penalties, or worse, a tax nightmare that could have been avoided with the right help.

Messy books create confusion, and confusion leads to costly misunderstandings. Many business owners learn this too late, once an IRS notice appears. By then, the panic sets in: “How did this happen?” “Can I fix it?” The truth is, with expert help, you absolutely can.

That’s where local Atlanta based tax expert Steve Perry comes in. Steve doesn’t just fix numbers; he helps business owners rebuild their confidence. With over 15 years of professional experience, his firm Books, Taxes & More has rescued hundreds of entrepreneurs who found themselves on the IRS’s radar.

Running a business means juggling sales, cash flow, payroll, and operations. When you’re pulled in a million directions, recordkeeping often slips through the cracks. But the IRS doesn’t care how busy you were, they expect precision. That’s why working with someone who understands IRS expectations and bookkeeping accuracy makes all the difference.

If your books aren’t current or your accountant only looks at your records once a year, you’re walking on thin ice. The IRS doesn’t wait, and neither should you. Schedule a free consultation with Steve Perry today before tax season catches up to you.

Here’s how bookkeeping mistakes turn into bigger IRS problems:

1. Misclassified Expenses Trigger Red Flags

When business and personal expenses mix, the IRS sees this as a sign of poor accounting controls. Even innocent errors can prompt deeper investigation.

2. Missing Documentation Leads to Disallowed Deductions

If you can’t prove a deduction, the IRS can and will disallow it. Suddenly, what seemed like smart write offs can cost thousands in back taxes and interest.

3. Inaccurate Books Cause Payroll and Sales Tax Issues

Late payroll deposits or underreported sales taxes can escalate into severe penalties. Clean books are your strongest defense and your best audit prevention tool.
