OUR SERVICES

Have you received notice of an audit from a state or government agency? If so, you might be wondering what to do next. Receiving a notice of audit can be a source of stress for many business owners.

An agency might request a sales tax audit to review a private company’s bookkeeping and accounting information. By sending an auditor to complete a thorough examination of accounting and information related to your business, an audit serves to identify discrepancies in your business reporting information.

Husted Tax Defense has over a decade of experience of handling tax audits and appeals to the Texas Comptroller's office and other states. We can review your case, point out the path to the best outcome, and represent you during your audit process, appeal and final resolution.

We sometimes find ourselves in tax trouble that we didn’t anticipate. We know that tax problems can be very scary, but we also have solutions. Whether you currently owe payroll taxes, personal income taxes, trust fund recovery penalties, have un-filed income tax returns to be prepared to become compliant with the IRS,  need to enter into an installment agreement or Offer In Compromise, we can help resolve your tax dilemma.

Husted Tax Defense can assist individuals and businesses with IRS disputes from the day you receive your first letter from the IRS by navigating you through the process of becoming compliant and ultimately the resolution of your tax matters.

Federal law mandates that SNAP benefits be used to purchase only specific (“SNAP-eligible”) food items. Thus, SNAP-authorized store owners must take steps to ensure that they and their employees do not sell ineligible items to SNAP customers and follow all other guidelines of the USDA/SNAP program. If they fail to abide by the USDA/SNAP guidelines, they risk penalties including disqualification from the SNAP program, monetary fines, and possible criminal sanctions. For store owners that operate a SNAP program, it is important to understand that they and their employees put the store’s SNAP authorization at risk.

Generally, a retailer may be penalized in 4 ways for violating SNAP provisions.

1. FNS may disqualify the store owner from the SNAP program on a temporary or permanent basis.
2. Instead of disqualification, FNS may issue monetary penalties against the store owner if FNS determines that disqualification would cause hardship to participating SNAP customers.
3. The store owner “responsible official(s)” may be barred from future SNAP authorization temporarily or lose their right to obtain a SNAP license ever again.
4. Store Owners may also be subject to criminal sanctions for intentional fraud or trafficking (purposefully exchanging ineligible items for SNAP funds among other USDA/SNAP illegal activities).

Husted Tax Defense has years of experience in assisting clients regarding SNAP violations and SNAP related issues.
