Spotlight on Success Show – Episode #25
Today on my show I had the pleasure of a speaking with Cora Parks, Founder of Tax Today, who shared her best strategies for how women can successfully work with the IRS when they get themselves into an unexpected tax liability situation.
Cora’s extensive background with tax issues and the IRS equip her to provide solid information to those seeking solutions to their tax concerns. In this interview I ask Cora –
- If taxes are owed, is it better to get a payment extension or payment plan?
- How can women prevent the surprise of owing more taxes that expected?
- If things change financially while a woman is on a payment plan, what are her options?
- And, what resources are available for someone who is having difficulty with the IRS?

There was no better way to round out this month on engagement without looking at how we can create it outside the four walls of our businesses. I am happy to share this heart-inspiring post by Patty Lennon, which contains a reminder that what may seem small to us, can make a huge difference to those in need. So when you think about ways to engage by giving back, don’t forget about giving charitably. Patty shares her favorite organizations, and I hope you will share yours in the comments below. Thanks, Patty!

As an entrepreneur you understand your power. You are generating wealth. You are creating a business designed to match your life. And you are doing this all at the speed of light!
As a woman it is important to understand that even thought you are doing all this you still have needs. No, I’m not talking about those needs. I’m talking about the need to give charitably.
To give without asking anything in return.
This is not about giving to all the needy people in your life. You do plenty of that and it only drains your soul. I’d highly encourage you to cut down on those activities immediately.
This is about helping someone in need, an act that feeds your heart and soul. Continue reading →
