Armel Tax President Anil Melwani Interviewed By BlogTalkRadio's Hurwitz

Dec. 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Following his successful debut on BlogTalkRadio last month, Armel Tax (http://www.armeltax.com/) President Anil Melwani will again appear on business-centric podcast The Voice of Manhattan Business on December 12, 2012. The show will be broadcast live at 12:00 P.M. EST and is expected to discuss tax preparation and planning for the 2013 tax season.

During his first appearance on October 5th, Melwani advised individuals and small business owners, using his years of experience in the business to warn against common mistakes. His expertise working with freelancers and start-ups provides unique, valuable insight for business owners who might struggle with preparing taxes.

Hurwitz asked Melwani to elaborate on the most important tax considerations for businesses, to which Melwani provided three top tips: establish payroll and sales taxes, set aside quarterly estimated tax payments, and organize bookkeeping with software like QuickBooks or Excel. He also advised that hard-copy records be kept on hand for a period of at least three years. By doing this, Melwani points out, businesses are protected against any I.R.S. and/or State audit scenarios that might arise.

In his upcoming interview with Hurwitz on December 12, Melwani is expected to discuss additional ways for businesses to get their records ready for the 2012-13 tax season, including what has changed over the past year that business owners need to know about. For example, a new requirement has been instated that requires businesses to report annual credit card sales separately from total annual sales. As president of Armel Tax & Accounting Services, which supports individuals and small businesses all over Manhattan, Melwani is perfectly situated to shed light on these changes and to share successful strategies.

The upcoming interview will be hosted by The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce and BlogTalkRadio at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/mcofc/2012/12/12/2012-tax-preparation-and-planning on December 12, 2012.
