What Does a Christian CPA Interface with Corporate Tax Returns
What Does a Christian CPA Interface with Corporate Tax Returns
By first agreeing to submit to authority we are to honor the laws of our land. This means obeying our federal and state governments, our President, our elected and nominated officials, our police and all others who stand in the position of authority. Jesus did not say to obey those in authority when we felt like it, when it benefited our interests, or when it was convenient, he stated that we should do it all the time.
Matthew 22:21
“Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
As a Christian CPA
As a Christian CPA my first responsibility is to God and my faith, then my family and friends, and then to my work. In fact I have had on my office door for almost a year now signage denoting this order both in terms of order but also in size the order of how I understand God’s truth and desire for our lives. Below Family on this list and in equal importance is school, work and friends for there are times when each should take priority depending upon age, importance and time issues. And then below these issues I believe our hobbies, interests, and volunteering should be placed.
Corporate Income Tax Returns
When preparing Corporate Income Tax Returns for clients I sign each return under penalties of perjury acknowledging that to the best of my belief that the returns are accurate as prepared. To me this means so much more than just the acknowledgement listed up also to the intent of the law as well as to the protection of my client. To this end I believe this makes me responsible to also be sensitive to many other issues such as:
Intent. Being sure that to the extent that I can that I ensure that everything on the return makes fiscal and business sense. For example, it would not be prudent to sell goods that your company manufactures for less than would be required to earn a just and fair profit as well as any required amounts to cover fixed operating expenses. For a business expense to be deductible it has to incurred in the normal course of running the business, a necessary and required expenditure, and the intent of the expense should be to make more money. Just as no business owner would want to incur expenses frivolously, so should a business owner evaluate monies spent to determine their validity.

Reasonableness. Expenses should be reasonable for too many reasons to list but to wit, I will highlight a few. First and foremost, business monies should be well protected and safeguarded to ensure that all monies are well spent and necessary expenditures. Helping clients find all of their available tax deductions is an important part of this process to ensure that all valid deductions are taken.
