Is your business paying more state and local taxes than it should?
With 50 states, thousands of jurisdictions, and constantly evolving regulations, managing state and local tax obligations can be challenging. States are increasingly aggressive in identifying non-compliant taxpayers, especially those that have unknowingly established nexus through remote employees, interstate sales, or online operations.

SALT checklist: Spot hidden tax risks before they become costly
Many businesses underestimate their exposure to state and local tax risk—especially when expanding operations, adding remote employees, or entering new markets. To help identify common blind spots, Kaufman Rossin created the Hidden Tax Risks & Missed Incentives Checklist.
The checklist highlights issues such as:
- Unrecognized state and local exposure: Operations in multiple states without proper nexus evaluation.
- Ignored tax notices or disputes: State letters left unresolved or managed without specialized guidance.
- Missed opportunities: Unclaimed R&D credits, energy incentives, or cost segregation benefits.
Use the checklist to uncover potential exposures and discover where your clients may be missing valuable savings opportunities.
