Alpharetta/Duluth CPA Reminds Atlanta Business Taxpayers Corporate Income Tax Returns are Due Today

Alpharetta/Duluth CPA Reminds Atlanta Business Taxpayers Corporate Income Tax Returns are Due Today

Today, March 15, 2010 is the last day to file/have postmarked your corporate income tax return for C Corporations/Form 1120 and S Corporations/Form 1120S. This due date also relevant for LL’s (Limited Liability Companies) that have filed a Timely IRS Form 2553 and opted to be taxed as an S Corporation. 

Taxpayers frequently fail to understand that an extension to file a return is not an extension of time to also pay the taxes due. The IRS has a rigid schedule for payment of all taxes and in some cases, there is no room for flexibility whatsoever. Taxpayers should accordingly take care to pay all of their taxes as they become due without regard to whether an extension to file has been filed/granted. Always keep in mind an extension to file is not an extension to pay. Stay Tuned for Tax News You Can Use!

Atlanta./Alpharetta/Duluth CPA Advises on How to Avoid The Top 10 Mistakes Taxpayers Make

March 15th, 2010

Atlanta./Alpharetta/Duluth CPA Advises on How to Avoid The Top 10 Mistakes Taxpayers Make

Avoiding common pitfalls taxpayers make is critical to your personal financial success.  Careful discernment and wise application of tax law is an essential and critical part of avoiding otherwise avoidable IRS notices, penalties, responsibilities, IRS audits and amendment of prepared returns.  As a Body of Believers, we are commanded to give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.  In the U.S. tax system, we as taxpayers are solely responsible for the initial filing of our returns and the fair and just filing of our lowest legal possible tax.  Avoiding these top pitfalls that many fall prey to will be an integral step in the proper preparation of your return.

1. Understanding Itemized Expenses. Many taxpayers fail to consider in both tax planning and preparation of their returns, that itemized expenses/Schedule A can be phased out/limited based upon a taxpayers Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) and their tax filing status.

2. Limitations on Total Exemptions. Tax law allows taxpayers to take exemptions for themselves, their dependents, their spouse if filing jointly and additional exemptions if disabled or over a certain age.  There total exemptions are then multiplied by the indexes for inflation annually and then this total is deducted in determining taxpayer’s AGI.  Like a taxpayer’s itemized expenses, these too are limited based upon a taxpayer’s AGI and filing status.

3. Alternative Minimum Tax (The ALM). Certain items on a taxpayer’s individual return can trigger an additional tax assessment.  This amount is over and above what otherwise would have been assessed if a taxpayer solely referenced their taxable income to the appropriate tax table.  Tax law mandates that taxpayers then pay the higher of the two amounts generated either from regular tax tables or the Alternative Minimum Tax, which is calculated on Form 6251.

4. Understanding Extensions. Taxpayers frequently fail to understand that an extension to file a return is not an extension of time to also pay the taxes due.  The IRS has a rigid schedule for payment of all taxes and in some cases, there is no room for flexibility whatsoever.  Taxpayers should accordingly take care to pay all of their taxes as they become due without regard to whether an extension to file has been filed/granted.  Always keep in mind an extension to file is not an extension to pay.

5. Utilizing Deductible Expenses. Taxpayers frequently fail to understand what they may and may not take as itemized expenses on their Schedule A.  Similarly, individuals often fail to stay abreast of tax law changes and the limitations, documentation and phase-outs thereof in determining their just expense.  Also, many taxpayers who have an unincorporated business/a proprietorship fail to have a good understanding of what qualifies as a business expense, the assessment of self-employment taxes and the attendant responsibility of making estimated payments.

6. Non-reimbursed Employee Expenses. Tax law allows those who are employees to deduct un-reimbursed business expenses, which are reported on Form 2106.  The total of these are then rolled forward to a taxpayer’s schedule of itemized expenses where they are also subject to additional phase-outs.  Often taxpayers fail to have a good understanding of what qualifies as an un-reimbursed employee expense and fail to correctly document and calculate business mileage.  They frequently fail to consider reimbursements received from their employer and inadvertently include in their mileage/travel expense amounts, their daily commute to and from the office, and these are not deductible.

7. Qualified Retirement Plans. This error is most frequently an error of omission as taxpayers fail to avail themselves of the many and varied options open to reduce their personal taxes and to plan for retirement.  If a taxpayer also has an incorporated or unincorporated business whether a C or S Corporation, LLC, LLP, or partnership, there are even more options for a taxpayer to implement that will allow for a dramatic reduction in both their federal and state tax liabilities.

8. Never Underestimate the Value. Most taxpayers would never consider performing their own surgery and so it should be for the preparation of one’s personal taxes.  At a minimum, I suggest that you have a CPA prepare your taxes at least every three years but I would limit this exception to only very simple returns with no itemizations.  For all taxpayers who would be classified/considered as part of America’s middle class or any taxpayer who owns a business, should have their return prepared by a CPA each and every year.  Tax law changes, nuances, limitations, tax and retirement planning, investing and strategic financial issues are too critical to be satisfactorily addressed alone.

9. Early IRA/Pension Distributions. All too often taxpayers will make or receive a premature distribution from their IRA/401K/Pension Plan.  This is perhaps the largest single financial mistake a taxpayer can make for several reasons.  First, these premature withdrawals are not only subject to regular federal and state taxes but most always a 10% federal penalty as well.  This serves as a double negative as not only are you paying additional taxes and penalties but you are also “diving into” your “nest egg” threatening not only your age of potential retirement but also the quality of it.  Furthermore, most all taxpayers who receive a premature distribution fall into a false sense of security wrongly believing the statutory withholding done to be adequate to meet their year-end obligation on these monies, only to find out they have woefully underpaid their taxes and are now subject to further penalties and interest.

10. Thinking Ahead. Perhaps the most common error is the failure of taxpayers to anticipate their current year’s taxable income and to plan ahead by paying the IRS and state taxes as the income is earned.  Failure of taxpayers in any of the above areas will also negatively impact their ability to plan for and pay their taxes on a timely basis.  Also the U.S. tax system is a graduated system in which the marginal tax rates increase as does a taxpayers income.  Taxpayers fail to see their return as the dynamic calculation that it is, as income and lifestyle changes and tax law continually impact a taxpayer’s final calculation of tax liability.

His CPA, P.C. aggressively works to be proactive in the planning for and anticipation of what will be your year-end liability.  Put our firm to work for you to avoid unnecessary and unpleasant surprises.

Bugs4Christ….Duluth/Alpharetta CPA Presents Using Unique Ways to Reach the Lost, the Last & the Least

March 15th, 2010

Bugs4Christ….Duluth/Alpharetta CPA Presents Using Unique Ways to Reach the Lost, the Last & the Least

Taking Christianity Into the World…Navajo Family Missions…Reaching the Young Men & Women on the Reservation

In the fall of 2006, John Albrycht, the Youth Pastor at Plentitude Baptist Church involved his youth group in the secret restoration of a 1971 VW Beetle. The project was dubbed “Bugs4Christ” and the Beetle soon became an object lesson in how God wants to restore our hearts to a right relationship with him. John wanted his youth to understand the mandate of Hebrews 10:23-25: “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope that we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching!” He wanted his youth to feel the power of encouraging others by restoring and giving the gift of unconditional love to the owner of the vintage car. Since that first incredible project, the members of this ministry have been involved in several other restoration projects. They are nearing the completion of a blue customized 1972 Super Beetle and they have just begun the restoration of another 1971 Super Beetle.

Our Purpose

Mentor young men and women in their walk with Christ, while teaching them how to restore Volkswagen Beetles. We also model for them Christ’s unconditional love by giving these vehicles to those in need.

On the reservation this July we will be re-building a Volkswagen Beetle “VW” as the talk about the reforming, restoring and redeeming power of Christ. If you would like to be a part of our mission as we seek to serve the Lost, the Last and the Least I invite you to consider how you might partner with us by donating a part to the VW that will be used as a part of the rebuilding process.

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us…Romans 4:5-6

If you would like to help in our efforts we will be needing all of the many parts below. Each and every one of them will be an integral part as we are all important and key parts to the Kingdom of God and to Jesus Christ. If you would like to contribute you can contact John Albright by:

Award Winning Alpharetta/Atlanta CPA Reminds Taxpayers That Personal Income Tax Returns are Due April 15, 2010

March 13th, 2010

Award Winning Alpharetta/Atlanta CPA Reminds Taxpayers That Personal Income Tax Returns are Due April 15, 2010

The initial due date for personal returns is April 15. For returns not filed by that date both the IRS and GA allow for a six month extension. Please be reminded that there are no valid extensions after the October 15 final due date lapses. Please be reminded that an extension to file is not an extension to pay and that you are required by tax law to pay applicable taxes as the monies are earned or you will be subject to additional penalties and interest. When processing personal returns our primary concern is both accuracy and ensuring that ever taxpayer pays only their lowest legal possible tax. Below is a sample letter that we might send to encourage taxpayers to forward all of the necessary documents and information required to properly file the return:

In getting started on your personal return I did not see: 

-What you paid in estimated tax payments by date to both the IRS & GA for 2009. For 2010 I suggest we do tax planning (after you give me a net profit before distributions and salary to the owners) so I might advise you to adjust your withholding accordingly. I recommend all of my clients pay all of their taxes via payroll withholding as the IRS and GA will add tax penalties and interest for late payment. For all Business Owners I recommend you use a payroll service to help out with the burdensome administrative and reporting responsibilities of processing payroll. 

-I did not see the property taxes/ad valorem on your personal vehicles. 

-I need the purchase date of the stock you sold so that I can properly classify the gain between short and long term and capital gain.

Please be reminded that the mileage rate for 2009 is 55 cents per mile. For 2010, the mileage rate is 50 cents per mile. Please turn in an expense report monthly to get reimbursed for these and any other business expenses you might have paid personally. IRS tax rules require you to have a day by day log to support business miles. Please be reminded that extending the filing of a return does not delay the need to pay as you go as both the IRS & GA will bill you for penalties and interest if you do not pay your taxes during the tax year to which they relate.

Atlanta CPA Takes Christianity Into the World…What Does Being a Christian CPA Mean

March 12th, 2010

Atlanta CPA Takes Christianity Into the World…What Does Being a Christian CPA Mean

www.HisCPA.com

Frequently as Believers we make sharing a faith hard, while Jesus said that Christians would be known by their love. Whether you are Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist, or Presbyterian we are all united by our faith in Jesus Christ. Several years ago God laid on my hear that I should establish  a different kind of CPA firm — one that would bring the principles of Jesus Christ to the practice of Accounting.

During this time, his practice has been growing, as clients who are seeking a Christian accountant who believes in Christ’s principles take advantage of His CPA for their business accounting, personal financial planning, and tax preparation needs. My CPA practice is how I provide for my family. But our speaking engagements, our books, our mission work and our involvement in the pastoral relations committee is what we are. We are a part of the Body of Christ, made for a specific purpose and destined to be with Him forever.

Below is my testimony on how he was led to create a Christian CPA practice to serve business owners throughout Metro Atlanta, America and the World.

Managing my own successful CPA practice in Gwinnett County for over twenty years, I continue to feel God’s calling on my heart and his desire for me to be more about Him. I have always felt it was my mission to witness to those I came in contact with in both my business and social contacts, but God continued to lay it on my heart that He wanted much more.

Even though  I was willing to share my Christian faith with people to whom I came in contact with, God was calling and he wanted me to be much more overt, but loving, to share the love of God. Having practiced the Golden Rule in my CPA firm for years, God was calling to be the true center of my life and not just a major player.

With my new bride now of six years, we set out on a journey that has led us on mission trips, publishing books, changing Georgia law, and starting a new accounting firm, HIS CPA, P.C.

Though we wanted to start the company at the beginning of the year God made it necessary to start the firm immediately as He wanted it done then and not later. To this end we have been faithful and continue to spread the Good News of our faith and Christianity to anyone who would like to hear.

Our faith and our lives intersect. Though we still have much to learn to grow to be like Him, we have studied his word and continue to work in Bible studies to share his love with others. My CPA firm is committed to the One who made me and we act on this daily by “Serving HIM by serving You…one tax return at a time”.

Tucker/Alpharetta/Atlanta CPA on Effective and Directed Communication to Address IRS Tax Problems and Back Taxes

March 12th, 2010

Tucker/Alpharetta/Atlanta CPA on Effective and Directed Communication to Address Atlanta IRS Tax Problems and Back Taxes

Dealing with the IRS in addressing tax issues requires several things including first a good CPA who is well versed in tax law, has a proven and well documented record of success in dealing with the IRS and a dogmatic pursuit of helping taxpayers ensure they pay their lowest legal possible tax. Below is a example of such a piece of correspondence geared towards addressing open and unpaid back taxes and developing pragmatic opportunities for all involved to resolve unpaid taxes:

Internal Revenue Service

Atlanta, GA 39901 

RE: Client_______________SS#_____________for the tax years___________

Enclosures: A Power of Attorney 

Dear Sir or Madam, 

I am following up to my previous letters to get a detailed record of account for the above referenced taxpayer detailing all of their payments and their outstanding balance. Please cease all garnishment efforts on the above referenced client. A garnishment will be a financial blow to the clients that I do not anticipate they will be able to recover from to address both their Georgia monies owed as well as the federal Offer of Compromise that is presently pending in the IRS Appeals Office. 

I am following up on the taxpayers open monies due Georgia and the IRS and to set up an Installment Agreement thereon. I have previously forwarded for your review a copy of the last piece of correspondence regarding their IRS Offer in Compromise. As you can see from the previously forwarded correspondence the taxpayer has no substantive assets, cash flow or funds of any type. This is the most they are able to commit to at this time. Accordingly, please cease all garnishment efforts while this Installment Agreement is being processed.  

I have previously forwarded Installment Plan Request Form 4506 for the above referenced taxpayer listing the most that they would be able to commit to on an monthly basis as $125 per month. In this package the client has been able to commit to having a $325 monthly payment. We sent this request to be confirmed in writing on 02-23-10 and to date have not yet received any confirming correspondence. Accordingly I have asked the client to send a check for the first monthly payment by 4-1-10 and to continue to pay monthly until the account balance is paid in full. The taxpayers are desirous to settling all of their tax debts and this will be a positive step in that direction.  

Please accept this Installment Plan as originally forwarded. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional information.

Sincerely, John C. Dillard, CPA, PC, Partner in Charge
