Atlanta/Norcross/Alpharetta/Lawrenceville CPA…Need Good Tax Representation Today?

Need Good Tax Representation Today? For the 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. The below is a sample letter we might send a taxpayer facing IRS Representation issues to ensure that their tax obligations and process is well presented and their rights protected:

Got powers of attorney filed with IRS and GA for your Personal return

Need back signed power of Corporate Power of Attorney from you ASAP

Need EIN’s for Company, GA Withholding and GA Department of Labor as will need this information to file your corporate returns and W-2′s. For a complete list of payroll tax reports to be filed visit http://www.hiscpa.com/payroll.html

I requested from IRS a copy of your transcript which they are mailing detailing what they have. I would never defer solely to this listing as it will not include MANY critical tax items you will need to be sure that you only pay your lowest legal possible tax, such as the original stock basis and purchase date of any stock sales.

IRS agent noted per their records that they filed/assessed your returns for the last two tax years. We need to do those again making sure that we file your taxes Married Filing Jointly reflecting your legal tax deductions and legal tax offsets.
As long as I have a Power of Attorney/IRS Form 2848 on file with GA and the IRS to represent you:

Have them call me if they inadvertently call you.

Do not mail them any data/returns and forward all data to me.

Atlanta CPA…Have You Just Received an IRS Notice? 

Are the Pace of IRS Collection Efforts Being Stepped Up? 

Is the IRS Knocking on Your Door? 

Are You Looking for a Satisfactory Way to Address Back Open IRS Taxes? 

Atlanta CPA: Have Tax Issues…Don’t Know What to Do First? 

Are IRS Collection Efforts Hitting Closer to Home? 

As a Faith Based CPA Firm We Look to Serve God’s People Rather Than to Hold Them Hostage. 

As such we seek to give free tax guidance to taxpayers 24/7 on our web site at www.HisCPA.com  

At His CPA we look to make the complex simple by keeping you abreast of IRS Tax Representation Issues throughout the process of handling old back tax returns. The below is a sample letter we might send to a client to keep them well-apprised of sensitive tax issues:

Personal Tax Return Issues 

Per my notes you never got to me the information to support the $9K of Un-reimbursed Employee Expenses that the IRS asked for on 6-6-11 on your 2010 return. 

If you have not already provided this information to the IRS please forward to me ASAP so that I might. 

Corporate Tax Return Issues 

I suggest you go ahead and file and pay all GA payroll tax items owed. I am dropping in the mail the two older ones. These amounts are relatively minor and will be best to go ahead and pay in full. 

I suggest you go ahead and file the IRS Form 940 taxes for all years as these amounts are also relatively minor.

Atlanta CPA…IRS Statute of Limitations on Collection of Unpaid/Back/Assessed IRS Taxes

The IRS/Tax Representation Series

Providing Atlanta IRS Representation Solutions for Decades

A Financial Survivability Series: Taxpayers who do not file and pay their tax by the returns due date will be assessed a penalty. Penalties come in both as an assessment for failure to file and failure to pay. If you cannot pay all the taxes owed, you should still file your tax return and pursue payment options with the IRS. Penalties for filing late is five percent of the unpaid taxes for each month of part of a month that a return is late and will not exceed twenty-five percent of the taxpayer’s unpaid taxes. The failure-to-pay penalty is ½ of one percent of your unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month after the due date that the taxes are not paid. The IRS will consider penalty abatement for taxpayers who can show and prove reasonable cause.

The IRS has a Statute of Limitations to collect unpaid taxes is ten years from the date of the original return or the date of the assessment of the tax by the Internal Revenue Service. Please note that this statute does not start until either the return is filed or the tax year is assessed by the IRS, thus if you have not yet filed for tax years beyond ten years from today and the IRS has not yet assessed the tax year monies, the 10 Year Statute of Collections has not even started yet and the monies are still current, due and payable.

Evaluating the options to deal with open taxes and to address with the IRS any open monies due. These articles will do much to enlighten and enable you to satisfactorily address any open tax issue monies. Working with a seasoned and qualified CPA who is well versed in tax matters should always be your best and first choice.

The IRS Representation Series: Need Help Appealing Tax Issues? 

Need Help Filing of Old Tax Returns? 

Tax Penalties Got You Down? 

Just as Jesus is our Intercessor with God so should taxpayers seek out a CPA who is well versed in IRS tax representation issues. 

Job 16:20  My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God 

Just as we need help with our Faith Walk, so do taxpayers need an CPA who advocates, supports and defends you before the IRS being sure that you pay only your lowest legal possible tax. Don’t fall for adds promising roses by settling for penalties on the dollar, addressing tax representation issues is not a one size fits all. The below is sample letter we might send to the IRS to both file a power of attorney/IRS Form 4868 and to send an letter to IRS Appeals for consideration of tax penalty abatement: 

IRS Service Center Penalty Appeals Coordinator 

Enclosure: IRS Tax Notice dated 6-6-11 and my Letter dated 5-5-11 where I originally filed my power of attorney. 

Dear Sir or Madam, 

I am writing to appeal the findings as set out in the enclosed 6-6-11 IRS notice and I would like to request a face-to-face meeting to discuss the taxpayers circumstances and to go over the facts supporting what I believe is reasonable cause to abate all of the previously assessed penalties. 

I believe that our country are based upon the just and fair values of our forefathers and that forbearance should be offered to all to seek to comply with all of our tax laws. Accordingly I am writing to appeal the findings as set out in the enclosed 5-5-11 IRS notice and I would like to request a face-to-face meeting to discuss the taxpayers circumstances and to go over the facts supporting what I believe is reasonable cause to abate all of the previously assessed penalties. 

I am willing/eager to supply you with any information that you might need in order to process their file. Since I have assumed the role as their financial advisor, I have consulted with them, and in good faith have pulled together the information that you need to file and amend their returns to the correct balances owed.  

I am writing to appeal the findings as detailed in the previously forwarded letters and to request abatement for the penalties assessed for the 2010-2011 tax years. 

1. 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 and phone is 770 814 9304.

2. My EIN is 123-456-789. My clients SS #’s are listed above.

3. I want to appeal the original findings as the original assessment was incorrect and a signed amended return to reflect what is actually owed was filed and I would like to request a face-to-face meeting to discuss the taxpayers circumstances and to go over the facts supporting what I believe is reasonable cause to abate all of the previously assessed penalties.

4 & 5. 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 tax issues. I believe it is a just and fair request to abate all of the previously assessed penalties.   

At your earliest opportunity please call and confirm that the collection efforts have been stopped. The client sought out professionals who purported to be technically capable to properly file their return. As you can see from the clients attached affidavit, through no fault of their own, they were misled about what taxes were indeed truly due.  

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. 

Based upon conversations with the client I have recapped and previously what they have advised that they have as their open tax monies. Please compare this to your records and advise as based on the above it appears that their tax monies have been overpaid by $10,000. 

I have previously forwarded an affidavit prepared by the taxpayer of the undue financial hardship being put on them as a result of this levy. As the taxpayers and the above indicate the taxpayer is in a refund mode please cease all collection efforts and not levy any monies until the above is adequately reconciled and addressed. 

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

IRS Form 1040 are Due April 18, 2011

If you can’t file today, be sure you file an Extension IRS form 4868/Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

Taxpayers are required to file their 2010 personal tax returns by 4-18-11. If for any reason you are not able to file your personal return/IRS Form 1040 by this due date taxpayers can file by the due date IRS form 4868/Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. The form can be viewed at the IRS’s web site at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf

Filing of Tax Extensions

The Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return is a legal way of notifying the IRS that you plan to file your return after the original due date.  This year’s due date is extended form 4-15 to 4-18-11 as a result of a holiday in Washington D.C.

The IRS allows a six month extension for both Personal Income Tax Returns, however please note that this is solely an extension of time to file and not an extension of time to pay and any late payments will result in assessments from both the IRS and state for penalties and interest. Please be advised that the penalties are even worse if you do not file the extension or the original return by the due date as the IRS can add failure to file penalties as well. These incentives are simply in place to give you time to file and pay.

Personal income tax return extensions are for six months and accordingly expire and there are no valid extensions available after this date.

Perhaps there is no greater area of tax law so complex and confusing. Our keep it simple style removes the shroud of confusion and assist those who want to avoid unnecessary penalties and interest.

Get an IRS Notice in the Mail? A Summons? A Garnishment? 

Proverbs 4:7  The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. 

God gives us guidance on how to respond to life’s opportunities as well as its problems.

The Top Two Tax Problems when dealing with IRS tax issues are: 

1. Addressing what caused the problem. Whether it be unwillingness/inability to file. Whether it be one of omission or of accident. Whether it be due to lack of retaining a good CPA or lack of knowledge. 

2. Failure to respond. Just this past month I have had clients receive garnishments and a Tax Summons as the IRS’s response to a taxpayer’s unwillingness to address a tax problem making a situation bad, much worse and limiting a taxpayers options to responding and reacting to IRS Enforced Collection Issues limiting your options to address back tax returns and unpaid tax liabilities.

So when that IRS notice arrives, look for a CPA to address your IRS representation issues. The below is a sample letter we might use to send to a client to begin the process of addressing IRS representation issues and to get all un-filed back tax returns, filed ASAP: 

We need to Get From You a Signed Power of Attorney/IRS Form 2848

Copy of the last filed corporate and personal income tax returns 

For all non-filed corporate tax returns copies of all filed payroll tax returns and recaps of all payments made by year. 

I suggest that we work to get all of the corporate returns filed first and then the personal as per your advice your are an S Corporation and file IRS Form 1120S. 

This is to confirm my advice that I suggest we do one tax year at a time. 

I suggest you commit to a firm timetable to get all of your non-filed corporate and personal returns done so that I might notify the IRS and GA accordingly. The smaller the time period you commit to and achieve the more apt we will be to avoid further forced collection issues.  I suggest a timetable of no longer than thirty to forty days. 

Please use the checklist to pull your information together that is listed on the contact page of my web site at http://www.hiscpa.com/newclient.html 

Due to the volume of work to be done forwarding of a retainer, I suggest between one to three thousand. This is to confirm that all of our time will be billed at our standard hourly rate of $195/hour and that both the IRS and GA are substantially impaired by tax law to effectively address open tax monies (unless you opt to full pay) until all of your tax returns are filed and current. 

I suggest you recap your corporate data using an accounting package such as Quick-Books or if need be the form that is listed on the contact page of my website, while being sure to list the beginning and ending checkbook balance so you will be sure to have included all of the transactions that occurred in the business account.
