Atlanta CPA Offers Tax Guidance to Running Your Atlanta Business  

Understanding the nuances and issues affecting business owners is essential to the efficient running of a business. Below is a sample excerpt that I might receive addressing unpaid Atlanta Back Taxes, Setting up an Installment Plan with the IRS, filing of payroll tax reports and their impact on the filing and payment deadlines of corporate income tax returns.  

I am killing myself trying to get 2009 finished. I'm not sure what the deal is with the bookkeeper but I've had to make a change. I finally was able to get my payroll file yesterday only to discover they did not file 941's for the last 3 quarters of 2009 or GA withholding for the last 2 quarters. What a mess! I was up late last night doing those. Thankfully the bookkeeper had made some payments online and we are overpaid for the year on 941 tax. I am so in over my head right now trying to handle the day-to-day office stuff while catching up the accounting side.

We may need to extend 1120S but I plan to have all to you in time to file before the April 15 deadline for our S Corporation.  

Below is my response:  

Please be reminded we have two deadlines to contend with. One is the corporate return which is March 15th and is easily extended.  

The second is getting on an Installment Plan which I do not suggest we push past the thirty days from the date of the IRS notice being mailed out to you. The concern there is that we do not want to immediately void an Installment Plan if we cannot pay in full the taxes owned on the 2009, as paying your taxes current is a condition of an Installment Plan staying in place.

One of the first things that I believe would be in your best interest is to hire a payroll service to prepare all of your payroll checks, debit your account to pay and to file all of your payroll tax reports. Payroll is perhaps the most administratively burdensome issue addressing America Small Business Owners and assigning this duty to a outside payroll processor who does only this, is a wise and prudent decision. In fact, I have found that even though I am a CPA that a payroll service can process my payroll.
