Duluth GA/Alpharetta/Atlanta CPA on Finding the Right Atlanta CPA for Your Back Taxes & IRS Representation Issues
Just as different businesses serve different products, markets, and niches, so are the individual personalities of key management. Key management personnel meshing with their CPA is of critical importance. As with all walks of life we need to associate with people and personalities who both make us a better person and those who make us feel better about ourselves. Finding a CPA who is intuitive, insightful, giving, and is a good communicator are all essential personality traits in finding a CPA who can not only provide good advice but is also adapt at its dissemination.
What to Expect in an Initial Meeting with a CPA
Initial meetings with a CPA you are hiring should not only be a time for you to interview the proposed professional but also for you to check on his past accomplishments, overall demeanor, core competency, and overall game plan for addressing your CPA needs. A CPA who has a core program is most apt to be more about serving their needs than that of your own. A good professional should be able to easily adapt to your needs and the changes in those needs while also being sensitive to your own core competencies. The below is a sample letter one might use to send to the IRS to help develop a case or penalty abatement. Care should always be taken to be sure that you find a CPA who has a history and years/decades of experience in addressing IRS tax issues:
Internal Revenue Service, Atlanta GA
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to appeal the findings as detailed in your last correspondence.
My name is John C. Dillard CPA of His CPA, PC and I have a power of attorney to represent the above clients. My address is 1940 Woods River Lane, Duluth GA 30097. I want to appeal the original findings as I believe the penalties for all tax years are identical and should be abated for all years, as they have previously been abated for 2006. The facts supporting our position are as follows:
I am writing you in a good faith attempt to come to terms over the above taxpayers’ present predicament and to address their assessed penalties. As you can see the by the enclosed letter dated 5-1-10 to the IRS the taxpayer has full paid all of their taxes and interest in full.
Please suspend all collection efforts as I have previously forwarded on 3-28-10 all of the unfiled tax returns for the 2007 to 2008 tax years and have enclosed a check to pay the total tax and interest will requesting that the IRS abate the penalties. I had previously forwarded a check for $2000 to pay the taxes and interest in full. Please apply on the IRS records the above garnishments to the taxpayers original tax liabilities for the outstanding years. Then apply the check enclosed first to the original tax liability and then to the accrued interest assessed as determined above. After you have applied the monies as per the above, this would make the account reflect no original taxes nor interest due.
I am asking you to abate all of the assessed penalties as the taxpayer has faithfully responded by meeting the due date we agreed to of filing the returns. Accordingly by nature of their response and the enclosed check for the difference I believe it is a just and fair request to abate all of the previously assessed penalties. Also the taxpayer has since filed and full paid their 2009 income taxes as a measure and respect of their good faith as a compliant taxpayer. Also we previously returned checks and voiding them that were inadvertently paid by the IRS out to the taxpayers in error.
The taxpayers had no financial adviser in the past and they have retained me to assist them in this endeavor. At your earliest opportunity please call and confirm that the collection efforts have been stopped. They taxpayers are now complying with all of their current tax liabilities and has now a proven track record of doing so. Copies of our original requests and letters sent to us by the IRS regarding this issue are all enclosed.
Under penalties of perjury, I declare that the facts presented in my written protest, which are set out in the accompanying statement of facts, schedules and other statements are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, correct and complete. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely, John C. Dillard, CPA, PC, Partner in Charge
