Do you need to meet with your tax representation prior to being audited by the IRS?

Having excellent experienced tax 
representation is extremely
 important and invaluable
during an audit by the IRS.
People who acquire tax representation for their tax audits, often wonder whether or not they need to meet with their actual tax representative.

The good news is that if your time is extremely valuable and you hire tax representation to represent you to the IRS, you usually do not need to meet up with them at all. 

Through the Power of Attorney (form 2848), your tax representative can handle all the dealings with the IRS on their own. This includes even being able to sign final agreements with them after the tax audit of your business is complete.

One thing to note is that tax representation can be extremely useful for people who are incredibly busy, however there is a caveat that needs to be talked about. The IRS can still force you to appear by using what is called an “administrative summons”. This administrative summons is most often used if your IRS representative is not cooperating with the IRS and sharing all the details they are looking for. Often this happens too if they are expecting or have suspicions of some sort of fraudulent behavior with your filing.

In this case, having very good tax representation is extremely important and invaluable. They can help you save yourself from possible pending criminal charges which the IRS take extremely serious. If you do know you filed wrongly, or inaccurately, you should hire help right away to help you correct the mistake.

Often people in this situation succumb to:
  • Fabricating receipts
  • Fabricating records to support invalid deductions
  • Lie to the examiner about income or other items

High quality tax representation whether you are in Atlanta, Georgia or anywhere else is money well spent and is often worth its weight in gold (solid gold).

Typically, it is very difficult for the IRS to prove underlying tax evasion. Doing any of the above three things though is what on average leads to the taxpayers ultimate downfall. Honesty truly is the best policy. Regardless, having a good tax representative who is well versed in criminal cases or potentially criminal cases could end up saving you from the wrath of the IRS.

Signs That Your Income Tax Preparer is Bad News : Lies About Tax Breaks

Bad Tax Preparer:
Lies About Tax Breaks
Warning Signs of the Bad Atlanta Georgia Income Tax Preparer:


WARNING SIGN 4


The Big Lie About the Ethnic Tax Breaks...

Anyone that tells you that you get a tax break based off your race or religion, is an idiot or a scammer. Since even idiots know we are all taxed more or less the same, you can bet that this person is a scammer and you need to stay away from this person.

For example in the last 10 years or so, there has been a scam running targeting African Americans stating they get tax breaks due to slave era reparations. This is just absolutely false, and if you get sold some of this snake oil, you know it is time to run away before you get hurt and lose some serious money.

Atlanta Payroll Tax Problems with the IRS? No Worries. We Got You Covered.


Haste makes waste
If you are in Atlanta and are having payroll tax problems with the IRS, fear not anymore. There is indeed a solution. There is a few things you should know about payroll taxes though, crucial knowledge that could help you avoid legitimate problems with the IRS as long as these rules of thumbs are followed and guidelines applied.

First things you need to know before getting Atlanta IRS representation is what to hold back from every employee's paycheck:
  • Federal (and if applicable state) income taxes
  • FICA contributions (for such programs as Social Security and Medicare) 
  • READ MORE ABOUT FICA  
Knowing that going in, it will be a whole lot easier to help you out of your Atlanta IRS based problems should you ever need professional audit help.

Other important notes for an employer to know to help them with their Atlanta payroll tax problems:
  • How much income tax to withhold depends on the numbers of exemptions claimed by the employee.
  • FICA contributions from a percentage of gross earnings earned by the actual employee in which you must either match to a certain percentage, or fully.
  • Use a federal tax deposit form with your payment (makes things way easier)
Along with these, there are also a couple things you must make sure you always send to the IRS. If you do not send these to the IRS, then you may indeed find yourself needing Atlanta IRS representation.  The Atlanta IRS requires this information by federal law, so it is best to make sure you send it over:
  • Form 941 Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return. Form is filed every 3 months whilst your business maintains employees. This report shows the employees' federal income tax and FICA withheld for the previous quarter.
    Download Form 941
  • Form 940 Employer's Annual Federal Unemployment Tax Return or FUTA. Filed once a year, and is used to calculate federal unemployment tax. It is important to note that the FUTA tax is paid by the actual business and is not withed from the employee's check.
    Download Form 940
If you find yourself failing in this area of Atlanta IRS representation for your business, do not fret. The Atlanta IRS has reported that the vast majority of businesses are often late, or mess up, their taxes. While the Atlanta IRS considers payroll taxes the most serious of all the tax debts, often they will be willing to work with you as long as you pick the correct Atlanta IRS representation.  

Be careful with payroll taxes, as Atlanta IRS collectors can be extremely tenacious if you owe any payroll taxes whatsoever. 

If you do find yourself in trouble, give GBC Tax a call today to help with your Atlanta IRS representation, the sooner the call the sooner your payroll tax problems can be fixed.
