call me before you do anything: the art of accounting<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

at one point we had a client that was going out of business and they asked us to negotiate a final settlement with the irs in which the two partners could walk away broke but without being in debt to the irs for unpaid withholding taxes.<\/p>\n

more:<\/b> how i owned a printing company and restaurant<\/a> | high cpa fees should be a client\u2019s goal<\/a> | how hidden bias taints results<\/a> | when to keep some plans to yourself<\/a> | employees have better memories than bosses<\/a> | when writeups went extinct<\/a>

neither my two partners nor i had experience at that time in this.
\n
\ni suggested that we bring in an expert, and i would ask my mba tax professor if he did consulting. he said he did, but when i told him the issue he looked down at it. he said that wasn\u2019t real tax work and he didn\u2019t get involved in that sort of stuff. we told this to our client and offered to try to help them but said if we couldn\u2019t we would not charge anything.<\/p>\n

i met with the irs revenue officer and explained the situation. he was very understanding and helpful. we worked out an allocation in which the irs got everything, except for one exception, with our help and cooperation (which made the revenue officer\u2019s job much easier), and the officer would apply the money first to wipe out the withholding tax liability.<\/p>\n

the one exception was a six-month-old mercedes that one of the partners bought in germany, drove around europe and brought to the u.s. we took that as our fee!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
