This group, which includesmost medical practices, shelled out$915 million in taxes in 2001, but theIRS thinks the government is entitledto more, so the agency has scheduled34,000 face-to-face audits with smallbusiness owners over the next 2years. New software is also helpingthe IRS match income reported byS-corporations and partnerships withpersonal returns of the business owners.Make sure your practice is up tospeed in its IRS obligations so thatyour nest egg doesn't get any unexpecteddeflations.
