Cash Flow & Profit
“How do I know how much of my money is actually mine vs the IRS's?”
A practical way to think about this is to separate cash on hand from tax obligations that may still be pending. The answer often depends on whether the money is personal income, business receipts, or funds already earmarked for income tax, payroll tax, sales tax, or estimated payments. Entity type also matters, since a sole proprietorship, S corporation, or C corporation can create very different cash flow patterns. Recordkeeping, owner draws, and timing of deductions can all affect how much of the balance is truly available versus reserved for the IRS. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
