Andy Walters gave me your name.   I have a small computer service consulting business and am looking for a CPA firm that can help with accounting and tax issues.  My company is an LLC and I have two partners. We have four employees.  Our bank requires a financial statement review each year.  We need the review and our business tax return completed by April 15th.   We would also want the three partnerænbsp;individual tax returns prepared by your firm.

If you are interested in working with us can you give me some information about your firm?  Can you meet the April 15th deadline?  Can you provide a fee estimate?

Hi <your name>.  Hope you are doing well.  We purchased a commercial rental building last year and our tenant paid six months®bsp;rent in advance in November of last year.  The rent covered November and December of last year and the first four months of 20XX.   I appreciated getting the cash up front but now that I have had time to think about it, will this cause a tax problem for us?  How do we treat this prepaid rent for tax purposes?

Angela

You should create any other necessary details on your own and they should be reasonable

  • Part 1 requirement:  Write responses to each of the three emails in Word.  These will be combined with your submission for Part 2 into a single document (see below).
  • ICW Part 2 ®bsp;IRS Response Letter
  • Important Note: Please use the accompanying IRS Tax Notice (located In the ICW #6 Module) as the notice to which you will write your response letter.
  • You are a staff accountant for a local CPA firm, Meyers and Meyers, LLP. One of your clients,
  • Paula Evans contacted you in February of 2022 about a new partnership she formed with four
  • others. The partnership, Wildwood Acres Partnership, was started in the middle of 2020 and
  • reports on a calendar year basis (the tax year ends on December 31). Unfortunately, this was
  • a little late since the 2014 partnership return was due on April 15, 2021.

Paula provided the information and your office promptly prepared the return in late February,

2022. The transmittal letter to Paula included a paragraph warning her that the IRS would

probably assess penalties for late filing. Penalties for partnerships that file late are $195 per

partner, per month (or any part thereof).

On March 29, 2022, Paula called and said she received a late filing penalty notice assessing

$10,725. She faxed the notice to you for review. Based on your review, the assessed amount is

correct.

Facts regarding the partnership:

1. All five partners are individuals and US citizens.

2. All five partners timely filed their 2020 individual income tax returns in September 2021

and included their share of the partnership’s taxable income.

3. All five partners are equal owners of the partnership

Paula wants you to respond to the IRS notice and request relief from the penalty.

Part 2 requirement: Prepare a response letter to the IRS requesting abatement of the penalties based

on Rev. Proc. 84-35. Be sure and reference any attachments you would include with the

response letter, even though you won be submitting the attachments on Turnitin.

Important: Combine the three email responses from Part 1 with your response letter from Part 2 Into a single document pdf and submit via Turnitin.  Your document should include each email response on a separate page (page 1 – response 1, page 2 – response 2, etc., followed by your IRS response letter on a separate page(s).

Please follow the samples I provided. Provide all the information that is needed.

Dear IRS Representative:
Brief Intro
As accountants for the above referenced taxpayer we are responding to the IRS Notice
dated January 6, 2014 (copy enclosed).
Issue
The Notice assesses $3,078 in tax and interest of $61 for failure to report a $5,863
distribution from the taxpayeràHSA as taxable.
Analysis
The taxpayer did receive a $5,863 distribution from the HSA. However, 100% of the
distribution was used for qualifying medical expenses.
The taxpayer did not receive the 2012 Form 1099-SA and, as a result, the distribution
was not reported on the timely filed Form 1040 for 2012.
We have completed the 2012 Form 8889 showing the $5,863 distribution. As shown on
the Form 8889, there is no tax attributable to this distribution.
Conclusion
Based on the above information and enclosed support, we respectfully request that the
proposed assessment of tax and interest be corrected to show no balance due.
Brief Close
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require additional information.
Yours truly,
John R. Cooper, CPA
