Small business tax and IRS help in Mount Juliet

Mount Juliet added about 4,754 residents between the Census Bureau’s April 2020 base of 39,312 and its July 2024 estimate of 44,066, growth of roughly 12.1%. That’s faster than Franklin, Brentwood or La Vergne over the same stretch.

Every new business in a growing town starts with filings it didn’t have before: sales tax returns, franchise and excise tax if the entity owes it, and federal payroll deposits once someone is on the payroll. The firm’s new business formation work follows the founder’s own focus. In the old site’s words, “He also assists small businesses in their start-up phases and focuses on making sure they are compliant in their tax filings.”

Mount Juliet businesses collect a combined 9.75%: Tennessee’s 7% plus the 2.75% local rate that covers most of Wilson County. Every $1,000 of taxable sales carries $97.50 in tax that goes to the Tennessee Department of Revenue.

When a sales tax return goes unfiled, the department’s remedies are direct. Once notice and demand have gone out, the state can levy property if the tax stays unpaid for 10 days (Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-1-1405), and its lien notice is recorded at the Wilson County Register of Deeds. Steady accounting and bookkeeping keeps the figures ready when each return comes due, so a missed return doesn’t end with a state lien recorded in Lebanon.

A Mount Juliet lien is recorded at the Wilson County Register of Deeds, 228 E Main St, Lebanon 37087. Tennessee sends a notice of federal tax lien to the register of the county where the property sits, and Mount Juliet is in Wilson County, so the record is kept in Lebanon rather than Nashville.

Mount Juliet is 13.1 miles from the office on Perimeter Park Drive and 15.5 miles from Nashville’s center. Tyrone meets clients at the office by appointment and represents taxpayers before the IRS by phone with Form 2848. If an IRS balance can be paid over time, an installment agreement is one of the options he checks against your financial statement.
