How non-medical home care agencies should structure a payer-segmented chart of accounts, reconcile EVV data under Section 12006 of the 21st Century Cures Act, classify caregivers as W-2 employees, manage aging receivables across Medicaid, VA, and LTC insurance payers, and prepare documentation that survives a Medicaid post-payment audit.
The IRS retention clock varies by record type — three years for routine returns, four for employment tax, six when income is understated by more than 25%, seven for bad-debt and worthless-securities losses, and indefinite for unfiled or fraudulent returns.

How to estimate variable consideration under ASC 606 — volume rebates, performance bonuses, royalties, and SLA penalties — choose between the expected-value and most-likely-amount methods, apply the reversal constraint correctly, distinguish a stand-ready obligation from a series of distinct services, and book journal entries that survive an audit.
