Timalyn S. Bowens is the owner and lead accountant of Bowens Tax Solutions, where she helps individuals and businesses navigate the complexities of tax law with confidence. As an IRS-licensed Enrolled Agent, she has the authority to represent taxpayers nationwide, offering expert guidance in tax relief, planning, and compliance. A graduate of Bellarmine University with a background in accounting and professional writing, Timalyn blends technical expertise with clear communication. Through her podcast, Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens, she empowers taxpayers and professionals alike with practical strategies and insights to overcome IRS challenges and achieve financial peace.

In this episode, Dante and Timalyn discuss:

• The early exposure to accounting led to her passion for tax law
• The role of an Enrolled Agent and how they represent taxpayers before the IRS
• Common tax issues individuals and business owners face, especially post-pandemic
• The importance of tax planning, avoiding penalties, and staying compliant
• How upcoming changes in tax law could impact individuals and businesses

Key Takeaways: 

• Timalyn’s story highlights how early lessons in financial responsibility, like tracking church ledgers, laid the foundation for her passion for helping taxpayers today. Her journey shows that small experiences can grow into lifelong expertise.
• Most people don’t fall into tax trouble because they’re dishonest—it often stems from miseducation or simply not knowing how tax brackets and withholdings actually work. A little knowledge can prevent big problems.
• Filing your taxes on time, even if you can’t afford to pay the full amount, can save you from costly penalties. The failure to file can turn a manageable balance into a much larger burden.
• For business owners, keeping clean and updated books year-round is crucial. Rushing at tax time often leads to mistakes, late filings, and unnecessary stress.
• The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is set to expire in 2025, and that could bring sweeping changes to individuals and businesses alike. Staying informed now ensures you won’t be blindsided later.

“The people I work with are phenomenal at what they do. If they're business owners, however, taxes aren't their thing, and that's fair, because if taxes were their thing, they should be doing what I'm doing, not what they do.” - Timalyn Bowens
