Benefits for Individuals and Businesses
One of the most versatile benefits of the NY State Voluntary Disclosure program is that it can be used for more than just individual income taxes. If you own a business, Voluntary Disclosure can help you avoid penalties for sales taxes, corporate taxes, and/or payroll taxes.
Because the financial well-being of your business impacts your employees, their families, and the community as a whole, it is imperative to take full advantage of the NY State Voluntary Disclosure program as soon as possible. When you schedule a consultation with 212 Tax, we will review the eligibility of your business and help you determine the best strategy to mitigate the effects of unfiled returns, ultimately getting you on the road to full compliance.
Don’t Wait to File
If you have income that was sourced in New York and have not filed a return, you may not have received a notice yet — but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t file. The risks of failing to file a New York State tax return can be severe. Not only will you have to pay steep penalties and interest, but you could also face criminal penalties, including jail time. Fortunately, the Voluntary Disclosure program can help you get back on the right track. Don’t wait for New York State to catch up to you — let 212 Tax help today.
