When it comes to taxes, fear spreads faster than facts. In this episode, Cassie and Brandon sit down with CPA and host of The Fun CPA Pod, Yuri Kapalovich, to break down the biggest misconceptions people have about owing the IRS, and what actually happens when you can’t pay.

From tax extensions to self-employment pitfalls, Yuri reframes tax season from something panic-inducing to something manageable (yes, really). If you’ve ever worried about going to jail over unpaid taxes, ignored quarterly payments, or felt overwhelmed by 1099 income, this episode is your reality check in the best way.
