In the landmark case of Alterman vs. Commissioner, a dispensary was denied otherwise acceptable deductions because the books were not in compliance and they did not have proper internal controls. They had to pay tax on all the deductions that were thrown out, plus penalties, plus interest. This dispensary is now defunct and the owners bankrupt. This is a testament to the extreme value in proper accounting and regulatory compliance.
Without proper accounting and entity design, you are allowing the IRS to take advantage of you, your business, and your wallet.
