Got a tax notice from the state — should you ignore it or respond immediately?

In this episode, we break down exactly what to do when your business receives a sales tax notice from the state — from whether it's safe to ignore that first letter, to the real-world consequences of prolonged non-response (think: bank levies, frozen assets, and auditors showing up at your door). You'll learn how to be strategic about what information you share, why collaboration with experts beats going it alone, and the critical questions to ask before you ever respond.
