Filing Old Tax Returns: Turning and Repenting...Taking Christianity Into the World

Filing Old Tax Returns: Turning and Repenting...Taking Christianity Into the World

Recently I received the attached letter from a taxpayer looking to address their unfiled and unpaid back taxes. The fear and the sin is not in the repenting but from not doing so. Our faith is centered and based upon forgiveness to all who honestly seek it and turn from their past and look to live in the light of Jesus Christ. The below highlighted paragraph is the letter received and the next several paragraphs my response. Believers who are seeking to better themselves and to walk closer with Christ need our support and our prayer and not our judgments and condemnations. Look at those around you in your family, work, school, neighborhood and church whom you can lovingly guide back to our Lord and Savior.



I am an embarrassed Christian realizing I have been living a lie by not filing or paying taxes on my business for the past several years. I need help so that I can look myself in the mirror in the morning and remove that barrier I have placed between me and my savior Jesus Christ. I don't know where to begin, what it will cost or who to turn to. I hope you can help.

Thanks for visiting www.HisCPA.com Yes, I can help. There is no embarrassment if getting help, but only in continuing to hide.

To get started we will need to do the oldest return first. Might I suggest we meet to pull your information together ASAP. I suggest you use the checklist on the contact page of my web-site to pull your data so that I might prepare your business and personal returns

FYI, we can also look to convert your LLC to an S Corporation for tax purposes. Fees will depend largely upon the complexity and organization of your business records. When we meet I will be happy to go over based upon yours. Fee-wise we strive to be in the middle, while quality-wise we strive to be second to no one. Having served as a CPA in Atlanta for decades we continue to serve others by helping to both get back into the tax system and the filing of old past/back taxes.
