Industry playbook
Mexican restaurants & taquerías
Taquerías, family restaurants, cantinas and catering kitchens — often with large crews, cash-heavy days and family members working in the business.
Where the details matter
What makes this business different
1
Cash and card deposits
On busy cash days, POS sales and bank deposits drift apart easily. We reconcile them every month.
2
Alcohol and mixed beverages
Bars and cantinas carry separate alcohol taxes and permits on top of regular sales tax.
3
Family on the payroll
Paying spouses and children with the right payroll treatment keeps wages deductible and compliant.
4
Family members without an SSN
ITINs let spouses and dependents file and appear on the right return.

FAQ
Common questions
Can my spouse get an ITIN so we can file jointly?
If your spouse isn't eligible for an SSN, an ITIN generally lets you file jointly. The application (Form W-7) is usually submitted with your tax return.
Our 1099-K from a delivery app looks too high. Why?
Platforms report gross sales before commissions, fees and refunds. Those costs are deductible — the key is reconciling the 1099-K to what you actually received.
