Tax Secrets from an IRS Insider: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You

Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Trenda Hackett, Founder and Owner of Let's Talk About Tax, LLC, a Texas-based company, is on a mission to grab the attention of small business owners that do not understand how to avoid violations of tax laws and procedures that could potentially cost their business. Hackett is currently featured in the November 2007 issue of EEW Magazine, the premier online magazine for African American Christian women.

After a successful 15-year career with the IRS, Hackett knows first-hand the devastating affects that a lack of understanding of complex tax laws has on individuals and businesses. Resolved to help entrepreneurs grow and flourish, in 2006, she branched out on her own. Since then, her company, Let's Talk About Tax, has been disseminating information to help protect small business owners. EEW Magazine is introducing Hackett to a large base of African American women entrepreneurs who need the expertise.

Hackett is bringing awareness to the dangers of running a business, without a thorough understanding of complex tax laws. “If people just had the knowledge, they could avoid making these mistakes,” says Hackett—Mistakes, which, quite often, become very costly.

Through seminars, consultations, income tax preparation and planning, as well as, professional accounting services; Hackett is giving small businesses an edge.

“Anyone can request a customized seminar. We allow you to choose the tax topic, the date and location and we will come directly to you” says Hackett. In addition to her knowledge and experience, Hackett draws from a pool of former IRS agents and officers to deliver comprehensive information.
