Number 1: E302: What Every Direct Seller Needs to Know About Taxes with Kimberly Tara
In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, we chat with Kimberly Tara, a CPA and certified tax coach who has spent over a decade helping business owners keep more of what they earn. Kimberly makes the case that if you're a direct seller, you're a business owner in the eyes of the IRS, and that one shift changes how you handle your money all year long. We get into the mindset that helps you catch deductions you didn't know you could take, when it's time to get serious about a real tax strategy, and the story behind her new software, TaxMove.
