Hosts Cody Melton and Taylor Rhoads unpack the S‑corporation and C‑corporation debate, explaining payroll tax impacts, reasonable owner compensation, shareholder basis limits, and state tax and compliance considerations.

They offer practical thresholds for when to consider each structure, highlight IRS risks of low owner salaries, and discuss strategic benefits like fringe benefits and the qualified small business stock exclusion for C corporations.

In this episode of Behind the Numbers, the TC Advisors team reflects on their intense tax season, sharing what surprised them, how they managed heavy workloads, and memorable client moments.

They cover trends in refunds and balances due, common missing documents, extension advice, and practical tips for planning year-round rather than just in April.

The hosts also reveal stress-management habits, post-season priorities, and small wins that helped the team get through the busiest weeks.

In this episode of Behind the Numbers we walk through the emotional five stages of tax season — from excitement and confusion to panic, regret, and acceptance — and explain why proactive tax planning matters for business owners and employees alike.

Hosts cover deadlines for pass-through entities, the difference between net profit and cash flow, withholding tips, effective tax-rate benchmarks, and practical steps to turn a surprising tax bill into a strategic opportunity.
