About the Webinar
Many growing companies discover too late that they should have been filing taxes in states where they operate.
Sometimes it happens after expanding sales. Sometimes after hiring employees in new states. And sometimes after a routine nexus review.
When a state discovers the issue first, the consequences can be severe. Audits can go back many years, penalties accumulate quickly, and the process becomes far more expensive.
There is another path: Voluntary Disclosure Agreements
Most states offer a voluntary disclosure agreement program that allows businesses to proactively resolve past tax exposure before enforcement begins. In many cases, penalties are waived and the lookback period is limited.
In this session, our state and local tax professionals explain how these agreements work, when they make sense, and how companies evaluate whether the strategy is worth pursuing.
