Hey there, Home Service Homies!
In this episode, we dive into sales tax confusion that trips up home service businesses every single day. I’m talking with Holly Hoffman, the Sales Tax Lady, about why sales tax feels scary, how contractors accidentally get it wrong, and what actually matters when the state comes knocking. If you run a service business and hope sales tax just takes care of itself, this conversation is going to wake you up.
We get into real stories from audits, CRMs, field techs making tax decisions, and how small mistakes quietly turn into big liabilities. We're breaking down how to set your systems up so your team is not guessing, your invoices make sense, and you stop bleeding money in penalties or overpayments. If you want clarity, confidence, and fewer letters from the Department of Revenue, this episode is for you.
