Keep It Flowing: Managing Cash Flow When Tax Bills Hit

Tax season can put real pressure on your business finances, but knowing your options can make all the difference. Join tax and financial experts as they break down what to do if you owe taxes and can't pay right away—from short-term extensions and installment plans to special deferral options for financial hardship. Learn how to manage cash flow during tax season, stay compliant with the IRS, and plan ahead so your next tax bill doesn't disrupt your business growth.

What You'll Learn:

• IRS payment options explained – Short-term payment plans, installment agreements, offers in compromise, and how to qualify for each option

• Cash flow management strategies – Practical techniques to balance tax obligations with operational expenses without sacrificing business stability

• Extension vs. payment plan – Understanding the difference between filing extensions and payment arrangements, plus which option works best for your situation

• Penalty and interest minimization – How to reduce additional costs when you can't pay in full and what triggers IRS enforcement actions

• Proactive tax planning – Setting up systems to anticipate future tax bills, estimate quarterly payments accurately, and build cash reserves throughout the year
  

Who Should Attend:

This session is designed for small business owners, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs who are facing tax payment challenges or want to build stronger financial systems to handle tax obligations. Whether you're dealing with an unexpected tax bill right now, worried about upcoming quarterly payments, or simply want to prevent cash flow issues during future tax seasons, this panel discussion will give you practical solutions and peace of mind.

Why This Matters Now:

Tax bills don't wait for your business to catch up—and neither do IRS penalties and interest charges. We've seen small business owners delay seeking help because they don't know their options exist, or they assume they'll face immediate enforcement action. The reality is that the IRS offers multiple pathways to stay compliant while managing cash flow constraints, but you need to act proactively. Understanding these options before you're in crisis mode can save you thousands in penalties and protect your business credit.
