Alpharetta/Duluth/Atlanta CPA Advises Atlanta Business Owners on Tracking Your Internal Books & Records 

Staying away from common mistakes will greatly assist you in the proper preparation of your tax return, will help you avoid unnecessary IRS tax penalties and interest, and help you keep your tax bill as low as legally possible. Learn and discover how long and what types of records you should retain and for how long are often the point of consternation for many taxpayers. Know what you need to keep so that you are never unduly surprised if ever asked to reproduce documents. Below is a sample letter we might send to clients to help ensure that their internal books and records are complete and to thus ensure that a taxpayers lowest legal possible tax is paid. Good bookkeeping and accounting is the first step to ensure prudent and wise tax mitigation. 

In reviewing the data for your Corporate Return I had the below critiques: 

Your retained earnings does not equal the prior tax return. Please go back into your internal books at the end of the prior tax year and ensure that your balance sheet equals the balance sheet on page four of Form 1120S/the Corporate Income Tax Return. 

Please re-class all of your insurance accounts into the below categories:

Insurance – General

Insurance – Medical Premiums

Insurance – Disability

Insurance – Life 

Please be sure that you pay all out of pocket/deductibles out of your personal accounts. 

Please forward copies of your W-2’s the company issued.

You should not have a Retained Earnings account in Other Assets. 

Your note payable Office is showing as a debit. Please correct/re-class. 

ASAP after you make the changes please resend the balance sheet and profit and loss and I will complete the return.  

Attached is are time to date. If you might please go ahead today/tomorrow and release a check for the open monies.
