Duluth GA/Snellville Christian CPA Encourages Believers to Continue Meeting to Encourage Others in Their Faith.

Below is s sample inquiry we might receive off of our web site. The words speak for themselves:

Wow! You are exactly what I think we have been praying for. My husband’s passion to serve our Awesome God in his work is such, that is hard to describe into words. He began a weekly prayer group at his last company which quickly dissolved into just himself and the President, but they have been meeting off site now for almost 4 years. I am certain that he would be honored to not only meet you and the group, but to help you do anything he possibly can to add members to it! As a “newer” Christian of 7 years, working currently for an almost completely non-Believing company, He is finding mentorship, fellowship and guidance to be completely absent from his life…Thank you so very much for responding to me. You are so wonderful to have taken this time at all and if I do not hear back from you, I hope you have a wonderful, blessed and beautiful Journey! May God bless you today and every day after!

Below is my response:

I believe that God has specifically called me to this place and time and to share His word and love with all that I encounter. I have learned that through diligence, perseverance, and faith that we indeed can do great things in His name. Our task is simply to be obedient and to perform the tasks He set out before us while leaving all the results and all the glory to Christ. John strives to live by his pastor’s words, “We should all dare to accomplish something so great that it is doomed to failure lest Christ be in it!”

Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

 No one, no not one of us is given a spirit to timidity, we are to go out and to live our lives as Jesus would boldly stepping out in faith to lead others in love to a closer relationship with Christ. John’s favorite Apostle was Paul who suffered gladly claiming the name of Christ for all of his doings while taking no personal credit all the while fervently spreading the Good News of the Gospel. Paul counted it great joy in all his sufferings and in his weakness he found the perfect strength of our Savior. Paul indeed counted it great gain to die, as he knew that he would join Christ in the heavens and would live with Him forever!

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Lawrenceville/Snellville/Norcross CPA on Keeping Your Tax Returns Simple 

Pay Only Your Lowest Legal Possible Tax 

The first page of Form 1040 is used to calculate the taxpayer’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’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: 

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. 

You did not show the $40K of Gross Wages on your recap that is on your personal W-2. 

You did not show the beginning checkbook balance off of last year’s tax return of $7,000. 

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. 

Please list the Tax you paid if payroll taxes as payroll taxes, otherwise please identify as to what it is. 

Please put bank charges into office supplies. Keeping your chart of accounts current, up to date and usable are essential to good business & tax management. 

There is no need to give me totals by individual month, just the totals for the year. 

ASAP after I get the above I will complete the returns. 

Please note I still need your husband’s W-2’s and copies of your cash contributions/tithing statements.

Lawrenceville/Snellville/Buford CPA on IRS Installment Plans/Back Taxes/Offer in Compromise

While you are in the throes of handling IRS tax issues and trying to evaluate between an Offer of Compromise or an Installment plan, frequently the options look bleak, as often they are. There are options for taxpayers to look “outside the box” in looking to solve your IRS tax problems. Knowing the ins and outs of varying programs will do much to help you know what is in your best interest.

 IRS Form 9465 for IRS Installment plans are essentially long range, but are frequently the most convenient way to solve an IRS tax bill short term. However this option is frequently the worst option financially as interest and penalties continue to be assessed thus ensuring that you continue to owe even more additional monies rather than less. Before looking to set up an IRS Installment Plan, you look to other options available such as a loan from a bank, friends or family members.

Job 16:19
Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.

Due diligence and wisdom should be exercised when doing your cash flow and to plan long term to ensure that you will be able to fulfill the financial commitment you make in a Formal IRS Installment Plan. For example, if you owe taxes for the 2008 tax year and have not yet filed your 2009 returns and have not yet done adequate tax planning for 2010, setting up an Installment Plan with the IRS might be one of the worst things you can do. Care should be exercised to both, get all of your 2009 returns filed first and then to evaluate your 2010 taxable income to ensure that you will have the taxes and monies to pay all of the tax years in question. Failing to do so can be especially problematic as one of the rules of being on an Installment Plan is that you have to stay current on all of your filings and payments for the duration of the payment period, or the IRS will void the Installment Agreement and reinstate collection efforts. Carefully evaluating all of your options allows you to have a much less problematic agreement and avoid unnecessary headaches, professional fees, and additional fines, penalties and interest. As with all IRS representation issues it is prudent to retain a CPA who is well-experienced in such matter as well as to have an Advocate to speak on your behalf. Below is sample of such an advocate letter that might be used to ensure your rights as a U.S. taxpayer are ensured:

Taxpayer Advocate Office,                                

Ogden, UT 84402 

I am writing you in a good faith attempt to come to terms over the above taxpayers’ present predicament and to process an Offer in Compromise on their behalf.  I am willing/eager to supply you with any information that you might need in order to process the Offer. I have attached for your convenience a copy of our most recent correspondence to the IRS Offer in Compromise Office in Atlanta detailing the issues of the case and requesting to take the case to Appeals if necessary. The crux of the area of disagreement is below and detailed in the attached letter. The taxpayers are desirous of getting “back into the system” as a compliant taxpayer ASAP.
I look forward to working with you to help you process and close their file and please do not hesitate to call me should you have any questions.

Atlanta/Lawrenceville/Snellville CPA on Surviving an IRS Audit of Your Business & Personal Income Taxes

If you just opened your mailbox and much to your chagrin you have received an IRS notice. Your immediate reaction is one of fear and dread as your pulse races and you are not certain of what to do next. Although most certainly your initial reaction will be as described, there is a different path to resolving all audit issues to yours and the IRS’s satisfaction and to close your audit with no additional monies due, assuming of course your return has been properly prepared. Below is a sample letter we might receive from a taxpayer in the throes of addressing an IRS tax audit:

I’m looking for someone to help me with my 2008 & 2009 Business and Personal income tax returns that were audited and we ended up owing the IRS over $45K. If you would agree to take a look at my tax returns and to see if you could help address this IRS tax audit. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated or maybe even if you can recommend someone in this area if you don’t serve this area.  Thanks and God’s Blessings,

Below is my response:

A successful audit process will include many factors and variables consisting of, first and foremost, calling your CPA first. Your tax adviser is the absolute best one to address your audit and to better represent you and your business’s issues to the IRS using both the law and knowledge of your business to your best advantage. The first step to address after a return is selected for audit, aside from calling your CPA, is to review the return in detail. Try to evaluate, from an independent perspective, your return, carefully evaluating what an IRS agent might be seeking most to review. After you have done this initial step you should then evaluate your documentation to see if you might need to accumulate any additional information to collaborate and support your return. During this process you should not discover anything new as all of these issues should have been adequately addressed before your return was prepared, signed, and forwarded to the IRS. However this process is critical to ensure that there are no holes in your paperwork, which might later cause you difficulty.

Atlanta/Alpharetta/Norcross CPA Teaches Atlanta Taxpayers How to Address Unpaid Income Taxes/Back Taxes 

I recently got a letter from the IRS saying that I owe tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes . I remembered that I worked a job that that was a From 1099/Independent Contractor but forgot to pay for the taxes back for 2006 to 2009. I would like to know if its possible to pay for this in a monthly payment and maybe try to get the payment lowered. reason will I picked you guys is because your faith in our Lord Jesus. I am a Christen  and have made Christ  the Lord of my life. I would like to talk to you guys on the phone. Call me at any time.

Below is my response: 

Setting up an Installment Agreement

Georgia/States & the  IRS will work with taxpayers to pay the monies owed over time. This option requires the taxpayer to file a form requesting that a specified amount be paid monthly over time. The IRS then has to accept the plan prior to it becoming effective. Though this is a practical way to address a larger balance over time it does not stop the assessment of penalties and interest which will continue to accrue until all monies are paid in full. Thus, it is most advantageous to consider procuring the funds from other sources as these finance/carrying charges are usually much less than that of the Internal Revenue Service.

Options for Penalty Abatement

The IRS can use a myriad of penalties and interest to encourage compliance, including information return penalties, non-filing, non-payment, estimated payment, and failure to deposit penalties. If you are assessed penalties for any reason you still have options. Both the IRS and states will work with you to address your outstanding taxes, interest, and penalties. One of the first defenses to explore is whether you have reasonable cause for your original failure to address you past returns and outstanding monies. If you are to be granted relief under these provisions you will need to be able to show that you have exercised ordinary business due diligence and care in calculating your tax obligations. You will need to be able to illustrate that obligations were generated when circumstances existed which were beyond your control contributed to the monies being owned and assessed.

Unfortunately the lack of knowledge of a law is not a valid defense that can be successfully used when attempting to request penalty abatement, as you are required to be prudent in addressing your obligations and responsibilities. Our tax system is one of voluntary compliance and tax penalties are the vehicle by which the IRS uses to ensure that you are financially motivated to file and pay your taxes as they become due. The IR S’s goal is to provide a consistent and fair methodology to assessing penalties to provide civil tax penalties to ensure ones tax obligations are satisfactorily addressed.

When evaluating penalty abatement issues the IRS will consider whether or not a penalty will cause a significant hardship such as a levy might impair a taxpayer’s ability to acquire needed medical care. As well a death, serious illness, or unavoidable absence may establish reasonable cause for considering penalty abatement. However items such as forgetfulness, ignorance of the law, and making a mistake are not generally allowed as reasonable cause in evaluating penalty abatement issues. The IRS will work with you to set up an installment agreement to pay outstanding monies as well as perhaps an Offer in Compromise if you qualify.

Lawrenceville/Snellville/Duluth CPA Advises on Seeking Penalty Abatement

Failure to pay penalties occur when a taxpayer, whether an individual or a business, do not meet/pay their tax obligations as they become due. These penalties are in addition to the failure to file penalties and often result in the additional cost of collection rapidly increasing the original amount due. If you can show good cause, the IRS often will work with taxpayers in the considering an abatement of these penalties. The below is a sample letter we might receive from a taxpayer to address open tax issues, penalties and interest.

We got a letter from GA state on taxes we owe  2007 & 2008  we ignored letter over a year ago, it was $2500. Now it is $4000, I can pay the $2500 but no way I can do 12 month payments on $4000. Any way they would take an offer of compromise for original amount ( about what I will get back on state) ?  we called and ask if we could pay it and they did not care. Is it hard doing OIC or should an accountant do it and what is the cost. Thanks

Here is my response:

Thanks for visiting www.HisCPA.com  I would suggest retaining me as your power of attorney paying the amount in full along with the interest, while asking for penalty abatement. Frequently we have learned this a viable alternative to other more costly options. Even if you did qualify an Offer in Compromise would cost as much/more than you owe. If you would like to discuss further please give me a call.

Atlanta/Lawrenceville/Snellville Award Winning CPA on What You Need to Consider Before You Buy Tax Software

Providing Atlanta With Bookkeeping, Accounting Needs & Financial Statements for Decades

The Financial Survivability Series is for taxpayers who are looking to “Get More” by seeking advice that is both salient, wisdom-filled and insightful. Today’s Series focuses on whether you should prepare your own tax return. I recommend that all business for profit owners seek out a business CPA who is well versed, experienced and informed in such matters.

Countdown of Top 10 Things Your Accounting & Tax Software Might Not Be Able to Do
10. Pass the CPA Exam.
9. Go to College.
8. Win An Award For Giving Back to the Community.
7. Discuss Incorporating in Georgia and Entity Selection Issues.
6. Assist You With Back Taxes, IRS Representation or an Offer in Compromise.
5.Get a Law Passed in Georgia Making it a Better Place For All to Live.
4. Rely on Decades of Work Experience to Ensure That You Pay Only Your Lowest Legal Possible Tax.
3. Help Provide You Retirement Planning Options For You and Your Business.
2. Serve as a Part-time CFO/Controller for You and Your Business.
1. Ask You How You Feel.

If you have ever performed your own major surgery without being a duly licensed and trained doctor or if you have ever attempted to fly to the moon without being either a highly skilled pilot or astronaut then you might want to fly full steam ahead.

As a CPA I have learned and continue to learn that I do not know what I do not know and that buying technology to help me get there faster is akin to using speed dial to dial wrong numbers faster. Just as the tools of a skilled surgeon will not enable me the skills, knowledge, verve and wisdom of a Board Certified Physician, neither will a software program make you a skilled CPA.
