Knowing how to file your taxes properly and on time allows you to spend minimal time working on IRS tax forms so you can focus on running your business. In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about business taxes, from your Employer Identification Number to common business tax forms. Read more:

Flint & Genesee Group CEO Blog: 2022 Annual Meeting -- The State of Business and So Much More




Soon the Flint & Genesee Group will host our 2022 Annual Meeting, one of the region’s largest gatherings of executives, business owners and professionals, elected officials and community leaders. The meeting will be held on March 30 at the historic Capitol Theatre in downtown Flint, at 3 p.m. And I’m excited to say that we are back to congregating in person.

Our Annual Meeting is a review and celebration of the Flint & Genesee Group’s impact made in 2021. Specifically, the event will include a retrospective look at the local business climate and economy, provides an update on our progress in the first year of a three-year Strategic Plan, while at the same time, navigating challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. We will also briefly highlight our vision for the future.

In addition, I am thrilled about our keynote speaker, Kevin Conroy. A Flint native, Kevin is the chairman and CEO of Exact Sciences, one of the world’s premier cancer diagnostics companies.

Dubuque Chamber: Inside the Chamber Lobby


The Iowa House of Representatives on Wednesday was the first chamber to pass the income tax cuts telegraphed from the legislative session’s start, including an eventual 4% rate for all income brackets and a full exemption for retirees. The plan is similar to one backed by Gov. Kim Reynolds except it does not include her proposed corporate income tax cut. The Chamber is registered in support of this bill due to the positive impact it will have on pass-through businesses, however we continue to advocate for the inclusion of corporate income tax reform in a final package. The TH has more.
