Duluth GA/Gwinnett CPA on Top 10 Ways to Avoid an IRS Audit for Atlanta Taxpayers 

Being sure that you are sure is the best way to ensure that you are not unnecessarily exposed to an IRS Audit. These simple reminders will do much to ensure that you are not unduly surprised if an audit occurs. The Top 10 Ways to Avoid an IRS Audit are: 

1. Only claim receipts for items you have proper receipts for that clearly identify and document either the business nature of an item or itemized/deductible expense.

2. All business owners should actively retain and utilize the services of a CPA who is well versed in business issues with a vast array of clients and years of experience.

3. Interpret tax law fairly, while being sure to never take a tax position that is not based upon fact, good documentation and a wise and prudent assessment and evaluation of tax law.

4. Understand and properly prepare tax forms, while being sure to be aware of all required tax reports, deadlines and monies due.

5. If an S Corporation or a C Corporation, always be sure to pay a fair and reasonable salary given position and profit. One of the best tests for this would be to determine what you would have to pay an independent worker to perform you position.

6. Always use a payroll service. Payroll is perhaps the largest administrative burden for Atlanta’s Small Business Owners & Entrepreneurs. Utilizing a payroll service is perhaps one of the wisest decisions a business owner will ever reach.

7. Always keep a by day log to support your business miles being sure to turn in a monthly expense report, while being sure to pay all car/vehicle related costs of your personal accounts.

8. Do not co-mingle your business and your personal funds. Be sure to always sign corporate contracts using your corporate title, have you Annual Board of Directors/Shareholders Minutes Meeting, and pay your Annual Registration to the Georgia/State Secretary of State.

9. Be prudent by paying only the required business expenses that your company is required to in order to effectively and efficiently run the business.

10. Ensure that your financials are well laid out and adequately track and record data necessary to prepare your annual Corporate/Business Income Tax Return.

Norcorss/Roswell/Atlanta CPA Provides Guidance to Atlanta Taxpayers on Addressing Back Taxes/IRS Representation Issues with the IRS

Below is a sample letter one might use when addressing open and unpaid back taxes with the IRS. The goal of both the initial and all verbal and written communication with the IRS is to establish honest and open dialogue and to develop reasonable expectations for the taxpayer. Below is a sample letter that might be used when back tax returns are unpaid and to give the taxpayer time to pull their information together to submit an Offer in Compromise:

Internal Revenue Service, Atlanta, GA 39901 

I am following up on our conversation about the above referenced taxpayers and to confirm that you have placed a sixty collection hold on the account. 

I have went over the rules of an OIC (Offer in Compromise) and they appear to be an ideal candidate. Accordingly please cease all of your collection efforts while I work with the client to file their 2010 Corporate and Personal Income Tax Returns and submit and Offer in Compromise. Taxpayers have committed that they will be getting this information to me ASAP. Accordingly please suspend and cease all collection efforts for sixty days while this information is being pulled together, the corporate and personal income tax returns filed, and the paperwork for a Offer in Compromise submitted. 

Please do not pursue any further collection efforts while the taxpayers’ OIC  is being processed as it could both dramatically impair their ability to both fund the offer and to meet normal monthly living expenses. I look forward to working with you to address their open tax monies ASAP.

Please cease and suspend all collection efforts for sixty days while this Offer is being resubmitted.  

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

Atlanta CPA Provides IRS Audit/Back Taxes Consultations & Advice 

When getting ready for an audit the first best call is to a well experienced CPA to ensure that both your rights but more importantly that you return is correct and prepared to best ensure your lowest legal possible tax. As a Body of Believers, though we are to submit to Authority, we are not required either by tax law or by our faith to pay more than our fair share and therefore just and legally liable tax obligation/bill. 

All correspondence with the IRS should be an ends to an mean and help to encourage the client, the IRS and their agent to close their file as quickly as possible, while ensuring that you pay only your legally liable tax. To that end I have provided the below sample audit letter detailing what we did, the terms and even enclosing the check to pay the taxes and interest in full while asking for penalty abatement. For the easier a CPA can make it on the agent to adequately and efficiently close their file is a win for both the IRS and the client. 

Internal Revenue Service, Atlanta GA

Enclosures: Power of Attorney 

Dear Sir or Madam, 

I am writing you in a good faith attempt to come to terms over the above taxpayers’ present predicament and to address their tax issues.  I am willing/eager to supply you with any information that you might need in order to process the audit. I have worked with the client to get their tax filings correct for the _____ tax year and payments current ASAP. To that end I have prepared for you a Form 1040X for the _____ tax year.  

Enclosed please find a check for $____ to be applied as follows:

Tax                        $ _____

Interest                  $_____

With the payment of the tax and interest in full I am asking that the IRS abate any assessed penalties. Since I have assumed their role as their CPA, they client has asserted their intent to keep their tax filings and payments current.

I believe the penalty abatement is a just request as I believe the IRS is a fair institution designed to help taxpayers pay their just taxes. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to working with you to close their file. 

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

Atlanta CPA on Addressing Back Taxes & Submitting an Offer in Compromise & Form 433A to the IRS 

Below is a sample letter we might receive from a client who is considering the submission of an Offer in Compromise to address their Atlanta Back Taxes. Coordination of the filing of returns, being sure you are current on your present/this year’s tax filings and payments is an essential part of the Offer and has to be done prior to an Offer of Compromise being forwarded to the IRS, as tax law requires it. 

I’m sorry we’ve been out of touch.  I’m not sure what’s been going on with my bookkeeper but she sort of dropped off the face of the earth recently.  I’m struggling to get caught up to where she left off with accounts receivable (which I’m finding has had nothing done since early January) and the bookkeeping (best I can tell hasn’t been updated since last month).  I’m having to go back and figure out where she left off and get caught up.

I’ve attached Form 433-A.  There are some things that haven’t been completed yet.  Before I spend much more time completing items and copying dozens of statements, etc. for backup, I want you to glance at it and advise on if we should continue to move forward based on the information included.   

Below is my response: 

To adequately do and submit and Offer and that attendant forms, it is most critical first to complete your 2009 corporate and personal returns. Otherwise we run the risk/likelihood of doing them twice as the information has to be current. 

ASAP after we get the corporate returns done then I suggest we get together and go over the Offer process and consider and evaluate all forms and the submission of an OIC (Offer in Compromise).

Norcross/Alpharetta/Atlanta CPA Helps Taxpayers File Corporate Income Taxes, Submit an Offer in Compromise While Asking IRS to Cease Collection Efforts, Levies & Garnishments 

IRS Tax Law encourages the Internal Revenue Service to work with taxpayers to cease all collection efforts during the process of submitting and processing an OIC (Offer in Compromise). Therefore it is critical for the CPA to gain and file a properly executed Power of Attorney to notify the IRS agent they are working on the account and to manage and communicate reasonable timetables and deadlines to complete the process. Below is a sample letter that might be use to begin this process. Just as it is imprudent to perform our own major surgery, I recommend all taxpayers who have back taxes, old tax returns to file, a business or open monies due the IRS to retain the services of a CPA who is well versed and experienced in such matters. 

Internal Revenue Service

Offer in Compromise Department 

I am following up on the above taxpayers open tax issues with the IRS and I have enclosed a Power of Attorney for your review and filing. So that I might ensure that I have a complete listing of all of the amounts the taxpayer owes, please forward to me a detailed listing of all of their open monies. At present the taxpayer has advised that they have open tax monies from 2007 forward.  

I have went over the rules of an OIC (Offer in Compromise) and they appear to be an ideal candidate. Accordingly please cease all of your collection efforts while I work with the client to file their 2010 Corporate and Personal Income Tax Returns and submit and Offer in Compromise. Taxpayers have committed that they will be getting this information to me ASAP. Accordingly please suspend and cease all collection efforts for forty-five days while this information is being pulled together, the Georgia corporate and personal income tax returns filed, and the paperwork for a Offer in Compromise submitted. 

Please do not pursue any further collection efforts while the taxpayers’ OIC  is being processed as it could both dramatically impair their ability to both fund the offer and to meet normal monthly living expenses.

 I look forward to working with you to address their open tax monies ASAP. 

Please cease and suspend all collection efforts for forty-five days while this Offer is being resubmitted.  

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

Norcross/Atlanta CPA Advises Atlanta Taxpayers on Addressing Unapid Tax Monies with the IRS 

Tax Law encourages the Internal Revenue Service to work with taxpayers to cease all collection efforts during the process of submitting and processing an OIC (Offer in Compromise). It is essential for the CPA to gain and file a properly executed Power of Attorney to notify the IRS agent they are working on the account and to manage and communicate reasonable timetables and deadlines to complete the process. Below are a listing of articles and sources of information to address filing a successful Offer in Compromise with the IRS. It is recommended that all taxpayers who have back taxes, old tax returns to file, a business or open monies due the IRS to retain the services of a CPA who is well versed and experienced in such matters.

Roswell/Atlanta CPA Addressing Unfiled & Unpaid Income Taxes With the State of Georgia 

John Dillard CPA: An Award Winning CPA Serving Metro Atlanta Business for Decades

Below is a sample letter one might use to address open and unpaid taxes with either the state of Georgia or the Internal Revenue Service. For the individual or business taxpayer who has run afoul of the IRS and is dealing with seemingly overwhelming tax issues, there are words of wisdom to successfully resolve your tax problems, how to pay your taxes on a timely basis by properly utilizing withholding, estimated payments, and extensions. Though there are many things we can do to help you avoid tax problems and unnecessary penalties, we can also help you discover the general guidelines and rules of how to qualify for and process an Offer in Compromise. This is a process where both the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Georgia will reduce your bill to what you can afford to pay based upon detailed tax regulations, procedures, and careful compliance. 

Georgia Department of Revenue

Compliance Division 

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 and to address the notes in your files. Per our conversation today you advised that GA had not yet received the taxpayers 2008 & 2009 returns, which have been previously filed. Please note on these two returns that the taxpayer was due a refund. Please correct your records accordingly and stop all collection efforts, garnishments, liens and levies as indeed the taxpayer is current. 

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

Atlanta/Alpharetta/Grayson  CPA on Addressing Time Critical IRS Representation Issues for Atlanta Taxpayers 

IRS Representation is perhaps the most important and sensitive of all tax functions that a CPA can provide. Recently we received the below inquiry regarding addressing time sensitive IRS/Georgia Tax Representation issues: 

Couple more questions, this guy with the state seems angry and has stated that HE is the last one to be notified when drastic action is about to happen.  If we acquire your services, will there be a (30) day…temporary stay on our case or will we be “”protected” a little longer???  I just don’t want this guy to find out we’ve hired a 3rd party to help us and then he turns around and takes position of whatever he can get.  Thanks for your time on this. 

Below is my response to this inquiry:

It is most difficult for a doctor to diagnose a client by phone as well as it is difficult for a doctor to guarantee the results.  We have done much over the years to help business owners and individual taxpayers address their unpaid taxes with both the IRS and Georgia. Though no one can guarantee results when dealing with critical tax issues that have not been paid attention to, there is frequently much a CPA can do to assist in the process. I invite you to spend a bit of time on the below articles which will do much to illustrate the many varied options and paths tax and IRS Representation might entail and require.

Gwinnett CPA Helps Taxpayers Resolve Tax Issues With the IRS

When the IRS comes knocking on your door it is best to as soon as possible retain a CPA who is well versed in such matters. Undergoing and addressing an IRS audit by one’s self is akin to performing major surgery on one’s self. Having a CPA to represent you and to advocate your tax issues with the IRS is the best first step to financial success. Below is a sample letter one might use to address IRS tax documentation issues and requests for documents:

Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Atlanta GA 39901 

Enclosures: Notice Requested Information/IRS Letter dated 1-25-10 (copy enclosed) 

I am writing you in a good faith attempt to come to terms over the above taxpayers’ present predicament and to address their tax issues and your initial assessment. I am willing/eager to supply you with any information that you might need in order to process the audit. I have enclosed the information that the client has forwarded for you to process the audit. Please note the taxpayer has forwarded to me the year-end tax statements and all of the information that you need to complete the audit and to close your file. 

I would formally like to Appeal the Disallowances and have an Appeals Conference if necessary. In the interim I have forwarded copies of all of the tax information requested, which would validate the IRS approving the tax deductions as claimed.  Since I have assumed the role as their financial advisor (they had no advisor previously), I have consulted with them, and in good faith have pulled together the information that you have requested.  

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to working with you to close their file.
