Addressing Tax Issues with the State of Georgia 

Dealing with the state of Georgia about your open tax issues, back taxes or an Offer in Compromise are critical to ensuring that your tax does do not indeed worsen. Retaining a CPA by filing a Power of Attorney is your best first course of action to assure that your rights and interests are protected as well as being sure to pay your lowest legal possible tax and that all penalties possible are abated. Below is a sample letter that I use to address such issues. Caution should be exercised though not to represent yourself either before the IRS or Georgia as those actions are a recipe for disaster. 

Georgia Department of Revenue, Lithia Springs Regional Office

351 Thorton Road, Ste. 101, Lithia Springs, GA 30122-1596 

Dear Sir or Madam, 

I am writing you in a good faith attempt to come to terms over the above taxpayers’ present predicament with the Georgia Department of Revenue. The taxpayers have assured me that they want to deal with the state in a good faith attempt to address any unpaid state taxes that they might owe. Please forward to me at your earliest convenience a detailed record of account and a copy of the tax forms in question so that I might help advise the tax payers accordingly. 

Please note per the enclosed paperwork that one of the tax years listed is for the 1992 tax year. Please advise if this is correct and what the statute of collections for unpaid Georgia is and the number of years.

The taxpayers have advised me that they are desirous to address these taxes and to get back in good standing with the state of Georgia. Please cease all collection efforts while the taxpayers are working to address this matter. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. 

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