Alpharetta/Duluth/Suwanee CPA on Understanding the “Ins & Outs” of Business Tax Returns
Discover what type of returns your corporation is required to file and its corresponding due dates ensuring that you do not miss an important deadline resulting in unnecessary penalties and interest. Many service businesses opt to file their tax returns on a cash basis, which results in a client not paying taxes on their accounts receivable or deducting their accounts payable until paid. This is especially advantageous for profitable businesses that qualify, since they will not bear the additional tax burden of paying taxes on billed but yet still uncollected accounts receivable. Often cash needs of a rapidly growing business put an inordinate strain on the availability of funds, and the selection of this method will greatly help as it is very difficult to pay taxes on monies one has not yet collected. Below is sample letter that might be used to help Atlanta Business Owners and Entrepreneurs file their corporate income tax returns.
In reviewing the data for your corporate returns I need:

- Be sure that your retained earnings equals a negative $10,500.
