$1000 bill from the Utah State Tax Commission? Don't panic!
32 weeks 2 days ago

"Annual Withholding Reconciliation Not Filed or Incomplete"
 
Every fall, the USTC sends out hundreds, possibly thousands of notices to employers around the state that they owe $1000 for neglecting to file their TC-941R for the previous year. It may sound like a government scheme to trick extra money out small businesses, but it's not. It is simply a way to spur employers into action.
 

How to not forget to renew your business license each year
33 weeks 2 days ago

Last year, the renewal notice never arrived in the mail. Instead, we just got a postcard from the Division of Corporations in early October that our business registration was now late for 2011. It wasn't that big of a deal; the renewal costs $15/year and the late fee was only $10, but it was irritating that they wouldn't give us any leeway when we didn't even receive the first notice.

Making the relationship work
2 years 40 weeks ago

Now that we've been in business for over two years, we've run the gamut of client-bookkeeper relationships. Backyard Bookkeeper has helped in several situations where a previous accountant or office assistant defrauded, stole from, or otherwise messed up the books of the business. We have also dealt with some difficult situations of our own. Based on these experiences, I'd like to make a couple observations and offer some advice for dealing with your own bookkeeper or clients, as the case may be.

Audit Story

The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office.

The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.

The auditor said, ‘Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, Which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.’

I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,’ says Grandpa. ‘How about a demonstration?’
