When it comes to tax season, many people are faced with the decision of whether to prepare their own taxes or use an income tax preparation service. While it may seem like an added expense, there are many benefits to using a professional tax preparation service that make it well worth the cost.

One of the biggest advantages of using a tax preparation service is the level of expertise they bring to the table. Tax laws are constantly changing, and tax preparers are required to complete continuing education courses to keep up with the latest changes. They can help ensure that you are taking advantage of all the tax credits and deductions available to you, and can also help you avoid any costly mistakes that could result in an audit or fines.

How to fix my messy back-years accounting for my Los Angeles, CA business?

If you have messy books for many back years of accounting, it can be overwhelming to try to organize and clean them up. Here are some steps you can take to tackle the task:

Take an inventory: First, make a list of all the records you have, including bank/credit card statements, invoices, receipts, and other documents. This will help you to get a sense of the scope of the project and to identify any missing records.

Set goals: Determine what you hope to accomplish by cleaning up your books. For example, you may want to catch up on your tax filings, prepare for an audit, or simply get a better understanding of your financial situation. Having specific goals in mind will help to keep you motivated and focused.

Create a plan: Develop a plan for organizing and cleaning up your books. This might involve setting aside a certain amount of time each week to work on the project, or breaking the task down into smaller, more manageable chunks.

Gather tools and resources: Make sure you have the tools and resources you need to get the job done. This might include accounting software, a financial calculator, and reference materials such as tax guides or accounting textbooks.

Seek help: If the task is too overwhelming to tackle on your own, consider seeking the help of a professional, such as a local SoCal EA enrolled agent or CPA. They can provide guidance and expertise to help you get your books in order.

By following these steps and working steadily and consistently, you should be able to make progress in cleaning up your books and getting your financial affairs in order.

As hard to believe as it may be, we are now in yet another year and here’s to hoping that 2022 will be significantly better than the last previous years, but we digress. What we’re here to talk about today is IRS TFRP help, or trust fund recovery penalty help, as it is better known.

With tax season coming up fast, our thoughts will soon be turning to our books and accounts, as we look to get all of our taxes in order so as to appease the wrath of the tax man.

If you’re a small business owner, you will likely already be aware that unpaid employment 941 payroll trust fund taxes can cause monumental headaches. When money is held ‘in trust’ it has to be paid to the Treasury on a weekly, semi-weekly or monthly schedule. This is all well and good, but should a business use these funds for any other purposes, I.E for paying rent or utilities, problems with the IRS could potentially arise.

It doesn’t matter whether this money was “borrowed” in good faith at all, if the money isn’t returned, the IRS can actually slap you with the trust fund recovery penalties portion and hit you with employment 941 payroll business back taxes personally.
