17 years in tax practice…and thankfully, some things HAVE gotten easier! 😂🙌🏾

When I first started practicing, getting information about a client’s IRS account meant calling the IRS, sitting on hold for HOURS, and waiting for documents to be faxed. 📠😩

Today, I can access much of what I need electronically through IRS.gov after registering through ID.me.

Technology has definitely changed the way I practice—but knowing what to look for once you get the information is where experience comes in. 😉

17 years later, I’m still learning, evolving, and advocating for my clients. ⚖️💪🏾

Hiring changes as a business grows.

Maybe you started with a few independent contractors. Maybe some of those roles have expanded over time. Maybe the business now sets schedules, provides tools, directs how the work is performed, or relies on certain people as part of its day-to-day operations.

That is when it becomes worth asking:

Are your workers still classified correctly based on how the relationship actually works?

Worker classification is not determined by the title on a contract alone.

Treating an employee as an independent contractor can affect employment-tax obligations, withholding, unemployment taxes, workers’ compensation obligations, and other legal responsibilities.

For Maryland businesses, the analysis can also depend on the specific law involved, and different state and federal agencies may apply different standards.

That is why growing businesses should not assume that a classification decision made years ago still fits the relationship today.

If the way your team works has changed, it may be time to review how those relationships are structured.

Have questions about the tax or legal implications for your business?
Call the Law Offices of Beverly Winstead at 410-376-1234 to start the conversation.

Your business may have changed dramatically since the day your LLC was formed.

Your operating agreement may not have.

As a company grows, new owners may come in. Responsibilities may shift. Decision-making may become more complex. The business may take on new opportunities, new risks, or a very different financial reality.

That makes one question worth asking:

Does your operating agreement still reflect the business you are actually running today?

For a Maryland LLC, the operating agreement can address important issues such as:

• Who has authority to manage the business
• How members share in the company’s earnings and assets
• How ownership interests may be transferred
• How new members may be admitted
• How the agreement itself can be amended
• What rights and responsibilities the members have within the company

An agreement drafted when there were two owners, a small client base, and simple operations may deserve another look after years of growth.

The goal is not to change documents simply because time has passed.

The goal is to make sure your legal framework still supports the way your business operates, makes decisions, and plans for what comes next.

If your company has grown but your governing documents have stayed the same, it may be time for a thoughtful review.

A growing business rarely looks exactly the same in September as it did in January.

Revenue may have changed. You may have added employees or contractors, taken on new obligations, changed how owners are compensated, expanded operations, or started thinking more seriously about what comes next.

That is why the months before Q4 are a valuable time to review—not assume.

Consider asking:

• Are your books and supporting records current enough to give you a clear year-to-date financial picture?
• Where applicable, do your estimated tax payments and withholding still reflect what you reasonably expect for the year?
• Has growth changed the way your business is staffed—and have worker classifications been reviewed carefully?
• Do your ownership documents and business agreements still reflect how the company actually operates today?
• If something happened to you or another key owner, is there a clear plan for business continuity and decision-making?
• Are there tax, legal, or succession issues that would be better addressed before year-end rather than after it?

Strong planning is not about reacting to December.

It is about identifying what has changed while there is still time to make informed decisions.

If your business has evolved this year, your planning should evolve with it. Book a consultation with Beverly Winstead to discuss the tax and legal issues that deserve your attention before Q4.

UPDATE: Being BOLD paid off! 🙌🏾💪🏾

Remember that 4+ year IRS case I brought with me to the IRS Tax Forum in Orlando?

Well… I found someone at the IRS who listened to the situation, agreed that the case needs attention, and has offered to personally review it and help get it assigned to someone who can move it forward. 🎯

Is the case finished yet? Nope.

But after FOUR YEARS of pushing, following up, and refusing to let this case fall through the cracks, we finally have some movement! 🙌🏾

Sometimes advocacy means sending another letter.
Sometimes it means making another phone call.
And sometimes it means showing up at an IRS Tax Forum and saying, “I need somebody to look at this!” 😂

I tell my clients all the time: I can’t promise the outcome, but I can promise I’m going to advocate for you.

This week, being persistent — and a little bold — paid off. 💼🔥

Got an IRS problem that just won’t go away? Let’s talk.

09/02/2026

For calendar-year partnerships and S corporations that timely requested a filing extension, September 15 is the federal extended filing deadline.

That means September 15th is the deadline to file:

• Form 1065 for partnerships
• Form 1120-S for S corporations
• The applicable Schedules K-1 for partners or shareholders

An extension gave your business more time to file—but now that extended deadline is here.

If there are still questions, missing records, or unresolved tax issues, don’t ignore them because the date is approaching.
