For an individual wage-earner, the tax compliance steps are as follows:

• Determine how many exemptions you will have for the current tax year.
• Update Form W-4 with your payroll department to make sure you are withholding the proper amount of taxes from each check so you do not end up owing taxes at the end of the year.
• If you work for multiple employers, this may bump you into a higher tax bracket. You will need to determine if you need to withhold additional amounts to account for the increased income. Otherwise, each job will calculate the tax based on your income with them and you may not have enough withheld

For self-employed taxpayer compliance, the steps are as follows:

• Begin keeping proper books and records for your business so you can have an accurate evaluation of how much gross income you have for the year.
• You can then annualize your income to determine how much net income you will have for the year. Please note that if you have a seasonal business, you should make an adjustment for this so you do not under or overestimate your net income by too much.
• The IRS generally expects you to make estimates in the amount of the tax owed in the prior year if you owed greater than $1,000.
• Make quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS by April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15 of the following year.
  You may also need to send in estimated tax payments on other types of income, such as rental income.

For a business, small or large, the tax compliance steps are as follows:

• If the business is a C-Corporation, it will need to pay estimated tax payments.
• An S-Corporation and a Partnership are both flow-through entities. The tax for them will be paid by the individual.
• If a business has payroll, it will have payroll tax deposits that need to be made.
• The IRS will notify the business of its deposit frequency. A business must timely make all of its required tax deposits in order to be in compliance with the IRS.

Even though all of these business tax compliance steps may seem straightforward, it can actually be quite challenging to determine what you are going to owe for a tax year and ensure that you have properly paid taxes to the State of Michigan and the IRS.

Bonuses, inheritances, cashing out a 401(k), and unexpected business fluctuations can all cause serious changes to your tax due at the end of the year. Not understanding the interplay between all of your taxable income may result in a tax bill that you were not expecting and that you are unable to pay to settle this tax debt.
