<p>Our Back-to-School concert and day of events went great and we are so thankful for each person that helped make that happen! We pray you were as blessed through the fellowship and worship as we were. We have been asking for 80 plastic containers to slide under the beds and they were provided last week! It is so great to watch God provide for each one of our needs every day! He is our Portion and gives us exactly what we need when we need it! All praise and honor go to Him! In the past couple of weeks, we have seen families and women be blessed with their own places and be able to move on from the Garden. We rejoice with them as God takes them into their next season of life and pray that the seeds that were planted here will continue to grow as they now go out and make disciples of those God brings into their paths!  Join us in praying that they will find Bible-teaching churches and will continue to stand on the Word of God no matter where the Lord takes them!</p>
<p>The Lord has blessed me with two servants of the Lord who both serve here full-time and are missionaries to the ministry. Please prayerfully consider sponsoring them financially each month as they seek to serve the Lord with their whole hearts.  Tax-deductible donations can be made to 7 Bridges to Recovery with their names on the memo line. They have both been a blessing to this ministry and I would love to see them blessed in return.</p>
<p>Again, we thank you for taking the time to read this update. We encourage you to come out and join us as we reach out to the least, the last, and the lost of Atlanta. We appreciate your prayers and pray this week ,you will be known for how you love one another! Lord willing, we will update again next week!</p>
<p>GO JESUS GO JESUS GO!  LOVE,  7</p>
<p>Pastor 7 with 7 Bridges to Recovery is doing great things to Feed the Homeless of Atlanta while spreading the word of God. I suggest you go down and see what he is doing on the weekends to take the message to the streets of Atlanta. I believe he would be a great speaker to the whole congregation and Discipleship Groups as people are looking for opportunities to get real with their faith by being the very Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ.  You can read about his Ministry at <a href="http://www.7bridgestorecovery.org/home_page.html" target="_blank">http://www.7bridgestorecovery.org/home_page.html</a>   We are actively involved in going and supporting Pastor 7 and the great work he is doing to Serve the Lost, the Last &amp; the Least.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Norcross/Sandy Springs/Atlanta CPA Encourages Believers to Do Everything You Do as Doing it for the Very Glory of God&#8230;Taking Christianity Into the World</p>
<p><strong>Colossians 3:23 </strong>Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.</p>
<p>I had the unique opportunity to meet with two college age men today who had begun a new venture to not only help support themselves a bit but more importantly to be both &#8220;Eco-Friendly&#8221; and to Help Make a Difference in this World by sharing part of their efforts with others who are less fortunate throughout the world. I was not only honored by their presence but the ability to help donate back to our new generation by offering Godly wisdom, wise counsel and encouragement. For it is when we give back to others that we are most like Jesus Christa and can best answer the question: WWJD &#8211; What Would Jesus Do.</p>
<p>For me I have learned that the best ways I can do this is to be fully emotionally present where I am at all times, seek to always look to serve others by kindness and deed and to look to the best in others. For it is often in the simple things both said and unsaid where we  are most apt to lift up someone when they need it most. Below is a sample letter I might send after meeting a new associate to send both support and encouragement. So today I ask you&#8230;.are you seeking all of the chances you have in your life to be like Him?<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>It was great meeting you and having a chance to talk with you about your business.  That was my first chance to attend a meeting and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I met some really interesting people and hopefully made some good business contacts.  As I mentioned, I am a CPA and have over 30 years experience.  If you have or know anyone who has a need for a good, honest CPA with experience in all areas of accounting, please let me know or pass my contact information on.  I have a great website <a href="http://www.hiscpa.com/" target="_blank">www.hiscpa.com</a> that is full of really useful tax information that might help you and anybody you know with questions/concerns you might have regarding your taxes.  Hope to see you again soon at the next meeting.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Award Winning Results will be an asset for both your peace of mind and to help ensure you pay your lowest legal possible tax. I look forward to the opportunity to meeting and serving as your CPA for many years to come.</strong> </p>

<p>Pay Only Your Lowest Legal Possible Tax </p>
<p>The first page of Form 1040 is used to calculate the taxpayer&#8217;s adjusted gross income. While many people think of their income as what is reported on form W-2, there are some other additions (and possibly some deductions) that have to be made as well. Itemizing deductions on your personal return can result in paying a smaller tax. However the rules on what can be deducted and what can&#8217;t are fairly strict. Using a guide/CPA and a tax checklist are your first step to ensuring that an accurate fair and just return and to ensure that you pay only your lowest legal possible tax. Below is letter we might utilize to help a client ensure their returns are both complete and correct: </p>
<p><strong>To complete your return I need for you to use the tax form I have on the contact page of my website to reflect your corporate data and make the below changes.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>You did not show the $40K of Gross Wages on your recap that is on your personal W-2.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>You did not show the beginning checkbook balance off of last year&#8217;s tax return of $7,000.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Please be sure to show your year-end checkbook balance while being sure that deposits plus beginning cash less expenditures equals the year end checkbook balance.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Please list the Tax you paid if payroll taxes as payroll taxes, otherwise please identify as to what it is.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Please put bank charges into office supplies. Keeping your chart of accounts current, up to date and usable are essential to good business &amp; tax management.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>There is no need to give me totals by individual month, just the totals for the year.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>ASAP after I get the above I will complete the returns.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Please note I still need your husband&#8217;s W-2&#8217;s and copies of your cash contributions/tithing statements.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Alpharetta/Roswell/Atlanta CPA Encourages Believers to Seek Excellence in All That You Do&#8230;Taking Christianity Into the World </p>
<p>Staying away from  the most common pitfalls taxpayers make is critical to your personal financial success.  Careful discernment and wise application of tax law is an essential and critical part of avoiding otherwise avoidable IRS notices, penalties, responsibilities, IRS audits and amendment of prepared returns.  </p>
<p><strong>Colossians 3:23 </strong><strong>Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.</strong></p>
<p>As a Body of Believers, we are commanded to give unto Caesar what is Caesar&#8217;s.  As such and based on the premise of the U.S. tax system, we as taxpayers are solely responsible for the initial filing of our returns and the fair and just filing of our lowest legal possible tax.  Avoiding these top pitfalls that many fall prey to will be an integral step in the proper preparation of your return. To assist taxpayers in the process it is the predominant role of the CPA adviser to be aware of tax law, details of changes from year to year and to ensure that not only a legally prepared return is completed but also that only the lowest legal possible tax is paid. The below is a sample inquiry that might be forwarded to an client to ensure not only a smooth tax preparation process but also that you best interests and tax law are always appropriately applied and considered: </p>
<p><strong>For your Personal Return:</strong> </p>
<p><strong>-I did not see any cash contributions for charities whereas you had some last year.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>-Did you ever pay the state income taxes on the prior amended personal income tax returns as these will be deductible on Schedule A of your personal return as an itemized expense. Per my notes you owed GA $1000 for 2008 and that you are making monthly payments. Please confirm if this is what you are paying on. As the interest and penalties are not tax deductible, we need to prorate what State Tax has been paid. Please advise regarding the above and then when the payments started, monthly amount, when they will be complete and total to be paid total via state payment plan.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>-Please use the below link for the valuation of your donated items to Goodwill and send to me detailed itemization reflecting these totals </strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://docs.goodwill.org/alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/36cf5260-0bd6-4eea-acfb-8a80e3e014b0/Donation_Valuation_Guide.pdf" target="_blank">http://docs.goodwill.org/alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/36cf5260-0bd6-4eea-acfb-8a80e3e014b0/Donation_Valuation_Guide.pdf</a></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>-It initially appears as if we might be able to claim Earned Income Credit (for lower income years), which is a credit available if your children live with you full time and if you are the only one who can claim them. Please review/advise.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Tentatively it looks like that you will be due refunds from IRS of approx. $2500 and from GA $400. The larger refund from IRS is due to your lower income year and your possible qualifying for the Earned Income Credit. Please review advise.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Like our faith in God, prudent planning, wise application of the law and staying the course are always a judicious path to follow.</p>
<p><strong>Hebrews 6:17-19  Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.</strong></p>

<p>Every year the IRS selects approximately one to two percent of all tax returns filed. The U.S. tax system is a voluntary compliance system where it is a taxpayer&#8217;s responsibility to determine and file their accurate and just tax returns. In this process frequently taxpayers will create environments, which make the IRS more apt to review and audit a return. Your intent in filing a return should never be to stay away from or not deduct a valid deduction, however your end result should always be to file a return that is accurate and complete in all respects and for which you have adequate and clear documentation. By following these steps below you will find insight that will help you avoid unnecessary audits, additional time and stress, and additional assessments for interest and penalties. To take advantage of the Free Analysis of IRS Tax Audit you can contact John Dillard CPA of His CPA PC at www.HisCPA.com or call him today at 770.814.9304.</p>

<p>Although there is no income tax paid by as S Corporation when the annual tax return is filed to the IRS. However, as a part of the corporate return which is prepared, a Form 1120S, there is an attached schedule which shows each owners respective ownership percentage and via a Form K-1 for which each shareholder should reflect on their personal return. K-1 profits, losses, and shareholder distributions are all required by tax law to be issued based upon the each shareholders ownership percentage. In order for losses to be deductible a shareholder has to have a positive tax basis, which is a component of past profits, losses, and loans to and from the business. If a shareholder has no basis to cover losses reported on a K-1, they are by tax law considered to be &#8220;suspended losses&#8221; and can be rolled forward to future years when the shareholder has positive basis, which can be created by future years profits or the shareholder loaning money to the business. Below is a sample letter we might send a client to ensure that to the extent legally possible, that tax basis is maintained in an S Corporation in order to take S Corporation losses:</p>

Just wanted to confirm my understanding that the $50,000 Credit Line on the company books was done in the company name, rather in your name personally. Please advise/confirm. In the future if you have to get a loan to fund any business needs, if possible, get the loan in your name personally and then have you loan the monies to the business. That way you will have tax basis in the company that will allow us to deduct the losses as reflected on our 2009 K-1 and will not have to roll them forward to 2010/future year returns.</strong></p>
<p>S Corporation  owner&#8217;s should report the K-1 profit, which is based upon their share of the business and not the amount of their shareholder distributions. This is a common misnomer about S Corporations and often leads to confusion for the new business owner. To that end it is best to remember that you pay taxes on the profits when you make them and not when you take them. For example generally speaking if your business nets $100,000 and you are the sole owner, you will pay taxes on $100,0000 whether you take zero dollar of shareholder distributions, a $100,000 or any number in between. Thus if you were to have a $100,000 profit in any given year and take no distributions then you would be able, absent any other issues, to take shareholder distributions in subsequent years with no additional tax responsibility as these monies would have already been taxed.</p>

<p>A Company&#8217;s Financial statements are often misused and abused. They are often ornately presented with accountant&#8217;s opinions ranging from audits to compilations. Often we even find a statement of cash flows and financial footnotes. What do these statements tell us? Numbers and data when prettily presented often are an accountant&#8217;s representation of the financial status of an entity.</p>
<p>I believe that financial statements without narratives, analysis of trends, and a review of expenditures are nothing more than formal proof that the bank account has been reconciled and that everything balances. Data without thorough critique is useless. Helping a business owner keep and maintain sound internal data and financial statements should be the predominant focus of the CPA. A Certified Public Accountant can do much to guide you to the proper chart of accounts, financial statement presentation and account classification. The below is a sample excerpt that we might forward a client to assist the business owner/entrepreneur in maintaining adequate books and records:</p>
<p><strong>Please make these changes to you corporate books as of 12-31-09. These entries will reflect the adjustments/amendments we made to prior returns and the updates you gave me on the fixed asset schedule.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Debit Accumulated Amortization and Credit Accumulated Depreciation for $1000 to adjust your internal books to the detailed Fixed Asset Schedule.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Re-title the Account Accumulated Depreciation to Accum/Depr/Amort.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>To record the new detail of the leasehold improvements you provided, to reflect past depreciation claimed and their transfer to the LLC please debit Leasehold Improvements for $70,000 Credit  Accumulated Depreciation for $30,000, and adjust your internal books to equal the Retained Earnings on the Tax Return by crediting the account for $40,000.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>To record 2009 Depreciation Expense, Debit Depreciation Expense on the Profit &amp; Loss and Credit  Accumulated Depreciation on the Balance Sheet for $16,000.</strong> </p>

<p>Selecting a CPA professional is a daunting task. This guide will enable you to be better able to select a professional whose talent, expertise, and style will best assist you long-term. Therefore we seek to make the process is as easy as possible while offering the highest level of service. As a Body of Believers we are all called to seek to serve and honor the needs and desires of others. In this &#8220;Me First&#8221; society, Christians now more than perhaps ever before are well positioned to bring hope into a lost world. Below is a sample response we might receive when responding to an initial inquiry for whether we are serving someone for the first or the last time, We are called to a higher standard. This is a &#8220;Dear John&#8221; letter that I enjoy getting:<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Dear John,<br />
I want to personally thank you for calling and talking to me yesterday. I would like to schedule an appointment with you to go over your services again and hopefully working with you. The information you gave me regarding converting my LLC to an S Corp for tax purposes sounds good and more beneficial to me. If that date is good for you, then we can meet up sometime that morning. Should I wait to get my business license and business account until then? Again thank you and I hope to talk with you again.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Below is my response:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>I have you confirmed for our meeting. Yes it is fine to go ahead and open your corporate account, get your EIN and your business license. FYI, our address is below and I also have directions on the contact page of my web site. I look forward to our meeting.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
