CONCLUSION
Such an informative episode with Maurice Glazer. I tell my audience on an ongoing basis how important being tax complaint is and what can happen when you do not follow the rules. I've always led my personal and business life being compliant and doing things the right way. When I have important documents I trust my lawyer to look over the paperwork to make sure I am not signing something I shouldn't. And when it comes to tax laws and preparation, I call on my ever-so-important tax accountant. They always save me money, so why in the world would I ever try to go it alone.
