There are some large companies in Missouri that employ an entire team of financial workers to help ensure that payments are properly documented, wages paid and earnings reported. However, there are other, smaller businesses that do not have the means to hire such financial professionals, leaving many of the financial decisions to rest on the shoulders of owners. Though it may be easy to make a mistake or miscalculations, federal officials may view an innocent oversight as deliberate tax evasion.
