DIRECTIONS

Our client came to us in desperate need of a payment plan. They owed the IRS $74,798.92 for income taxes from 2014. As always, we first completed an investigation before seeking a resolution. Upon review, we discovered that the IRS had filed a substitute filed return for that year and had not included any business expenses. We were able to file a proper 2014 tax return for the client, and after it was processed, we achieved a savings of 62.84% for our client! That’s why we always do an investigation first! Whether you are building houses, software, or a case with the IRS, it’s sage advice to always measure twice and cut once!

1. In a small pot on medium heat, heat milk until simmering but not boiling.

2. Make your espresso (or coffee) and pour into a large mug or Mason jar. Add pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla and stir until well combined. 3. With a milk frother, froth the heated milk until foamy. Then, pour into your pumpkin espresso mixture and top with whipped cream. For decoration, you can sprinkle more cinnamon or pumpkin spice on top!
