Tarryn Sampson of TS Tax & Accounting Services

"Stop hiding from that IRS letter! As an Enrolled Agent who's saved clients THOUSANDS during audits, here's why ignoring it makes everything worse..." Tarryn Sampson, owner of TS Tax and Accounting Services in Mapleton, Georgia, shares 29 years of tax expertise and reveals how her year-round approach saves South Cobb business owners thousands. Guest Background Tarryn Sampson - Owner & Founder, TS Tax and Accounting Services * 29 years in tax preparation (since 1996) * Enrolled Agent certified (2020) - can represent clients before the IRS * Based in Mapleton, Georgia, serving South Cobb community Key Discussion Points The "Ostrich Problem" with IRS Letters "I always use the analogy of the ostrich - clients get these IRS letters and they're putting their head in the sand. I'm like, they see you. You just need to go ahead and open it. You can't hide." Why This Matters: Avoiding IRS letters only makes problems worse and more expensive. Beyond "Plugging in Numbers" Tarryn explains her comprehensive approach: "I have a client now, he used to rent a location, now he has a house outside of his property... So now I'm like, okay, so we have depreciation that we can claim." Key Insight: Understanding the complete financial situation enables strategic tax planning. The Round Numbers Red Flag "People always feel like I could give estimated numbers... A lot of round numbers. And I always tell my clients those are red flags. Not everything is in a round number." Real-Time Documentation Strategy "I don't need the details to prepare your return, but I tell my clients you need it in the event that you get audited because trying to recreate the stuff three and four years after the fact is crazy."
