13 Tips To Finding The Right Tax Preparer For Your Team

How do you find a tax preparer that is right for you?

First, not all tax preparers are the same. I wrote an article about this last year titled: Tax Returns: Are They All Created Equal?

HOW DO YOU FIND A TAX PREPARER THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

First, not all tax preparers are the same. I previously wrote an article about this last year titled: “Tax Returns – Are they really all created equal”, and you may be as surprised as other readers about just how much tax return preparation can vary.

In fact, I calculated the average savings I typically find from annual tax savings, reducing professional fees and audit assessments. In total, the average savings are:

– $23,750 Annual tax savings

– $5,000 Audit defense savings

– $10,000 Reduced audit assessment savings

– $50,000 Reduced legal fees

– $3,000 Reduced tax return preparation fees

This is a total average potential savings of $91,750! Your tax preparer does make a difference! How much more could you do with these savings?

Second, the right tax preparer for you depends on what is important to you. Take a minute to answer this question:

WHAT MAKES YOUR TAX RETURN SUCCESSFUL?

How you answer this question will impact what type of tax preparer you need on your team. I’ve asked this questions to clients, prospects and colleagues. I have compiled the most popular answers and what it means to you as you find the tax preparer for your team.

ANSWER #1: Paying the least amount of tax legally

Your tax preparer needs to:

– Know the tax law very well and know how to be creative legally.

– Ask you a lot of questions about your situation in order to understand your situation and goals.

– Have a review process where at least one other person reviews your return solely for the purpose of how to reduce your taxes legally.

HERE ARE SEVEN (7) QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR TAX PREPARER TO DETERMINE IF IT’S A GOOD FIT:

Q1: Can you tell me about the other ___________ (your industry) you service?

A: Your tax preparer needs to know how the tax law applies to your situation. Having other clients in your industry or with similar investments indicates that the tax preparer is likely to be familiar with the tax laws that impact you.

Q2: Who will be working on my tax return?

A: It’s very common (and a good business practice) for tax preparers to have staff prepare your tax return. You want to make sure the other people working on your return have the same level of expertise.

Q3: What is your tax return review process?

A: Tax preparers who are focused on reducing your taxes will have this built into their review process. Usually it involves having another experienced tax preparer review the return solely for the purpose of finding ways to reduce your taxes.

Q4: What would you have done differently on my past tax return?

A: Show the tax preparer you are interviewing your prior year tax return. Creative tax preparers will be able to give you at least one idea of what you can do to reduce your taxes by looking at your tax return for just a few minutes. If it’s creativity you are after, this is a great question to ask! But don’t expect the tax preparer to give you all the details right then and there – that’s why you pay them!

Q5: How much can you save me in taxes?

A: While it’s difficult for any tax preparer to answer this in just a few minutes of looking at your past tax return, it is possible for them to know if they can save you taxes after spending 30 minutes with you.

Q6: What deadlines do you impose on clients?

A: This may seem like an odd question for minimizing your taxes but it has a direct impact. If your tax preparer allows you to provide your information a week before the tax return is due, it’s very unlikely that the tax preparer will have the time to focus on your return to truly minimize your taxes. Tax preparers that want to reduce your taxes want your tax return information early and will communicate that to you.

Q7: What recent tax law changes should I be aware of? A: To minimize your taxes, your tax preparer needs to know the tax law inside and out, which includes the latest changes. Your tax preparer needs to be able to answer this question without hesitation.

ANSWER #2: Minimizing tax return preparation fees Your tax preparer needs to:

– Focus on the tax work and recommend someone else for the non-tax work (such as bookkeeping).

– Request tax information in a certain format.

– Require you to input your information online.

HERE ARE TWO (2) QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR TAX PREPARER REGARDING MINIMIZING RETURN PREPARATION FEES TO DETERMINE IF IT’S A GOOD FIT:

Q1: What can I do to reduce my tax return preparation fees?

A: To minimize your tax return preparation fees, your tax preparer always needs to have your fees in mind. Ask your tax preparer what you can do to reduce your fees. If you don’t get at least 2 suggestions, your tax preparer probably isn’t thinking about how to keep your fees low.

Common suggestions include:

– Have someone other than the tax preparer do your bookkeeping. I am always skeptical when a tax preparer does the bookkeeping. First, they either charge an arm and leg or if they reduce their rates to accommodate you, it means they don’t spend their time entirely on tax issues, which could indicate their tax skills aren’t up to par.

– Organize your information. Don’t bring your tax preparer a shoebox! A tax preparer that is really focused on keeping your fees down will have forms, spreadsheets and other tools available for you to use to organize your tax return information.

– Enter your information online. Many tax preparers now require clients to input their information online. Accurately entered information can help reduce fees. Caution: Information that is entered inaccurately can increase your fees!

Q2: What is your fee structure?

A: Your tax preparer needs to be able to answer this question with confidence. Any wavering could indicate that the tax preparer knows the fees are too high for you but just doesn’t want to tell you. Unfortunately in these situations, you find out too late!

ANSWER #3: Reducing audit risk Your tax preparer needs to:

– Know the tax law very well and how to properly report your activity.

– Understand the IRS’s current “hot buttons” or “red flags.”

– Offer an audit defense plan.

HERE ARE FOUR (4) QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR TAX PREPARER IN REGARDS TO REDUCING AUDIT RISK TO DETERMINE IF IT’S A GOOD FIT:

Q1: How many audits have you been through and what triggered the audit?

A: The most important part of this question is what triggered the audit. If it was triggered by how something was reported, then that may be something the tax preparer had control over (and may be a bad sign for you).

Q2: What was the outcome of the audits you have been through?

A: A return can be randomly selected for audit or selected because of a certain activity (even though it was reported correctly). So it’s important to understand the outcome of the audits. Was additional tax assessed or were there no changes? Additional tax may indicate that something was not reported properly.

Q3: Do you offer an audit defense plan?

A: Tax preparers that are confident in their work will offer an “insurance” program that covers their professional fees to handle your audit if your return is selected for audit.

Q4: What is your tax return review process?

A: Although tax returns can be selected randomly for audit, many are selected due to how items are reported on the tax return. Tax preparers who are focused on reducing audit risk will have a review process that includes another tax preparer reviewing your return solely for accuracy of reporting.

Be selective with the tax preparer you put on your team. The average savings I find for my clients is over $90,000! Your tax preparer makes a difference!

How To Grow Your Business In The Marketplace Of The New Millennium ©

The “old ways” of doing business have been on the way out for years. Yet, training programs and consultants continue to do things the way they’ve always been done. Maybe they’re stuck in the past. Maybe they’re blind to the facts. Or maybe they just don’t want to change. Whatever their reason for failing to deliver practical, real-world tools and systems that support your entrepreneurial growth, I can assure you that it’s rooted in the fact that these so-called experts don’t recognize that there’s a new business paradigm that has emerged — one that’s being defined by small-business owners.(As big and dominant as they were, dinosaurs are no longer with us. I wonder if dinosaurs ever thought they’d become extinct.) For far too long, “big business” has received way too much attention from the media, educational institutions, and training companies. According to data compiled by the SBA, small businesses employ more than 50% of the nation’s nearly 111-million employees, and a staggering 99.7% of the businesses in the US are classified by the SBA as “Small.” Yet, the vast majority of trainings, workshops, and educational programs meant to help you grow your business still remain focused on the traditional big-business “sheep-herding” model — with all its rigid idea-smashing, momentum-crushing baggage. As a business owner, if you want to win big in this Marketplace of the New Millennium, you’ll need to attract, retain, and build relationships with your clients in a brand new way. But to do that, you need a better way to grow and optimize your business than how the “old guard” would have you think. As an entrepreneur, you need an effective, yet flexible, approach to growth using YOUR system as THE system — not the big-business “sheep-herding” model. Here’s what I mean …Traditional education, the average consultant, and most business development gurus all tout a highly regimented approach to growing a classical “top down” business. Like a massive ship steaming toward an iceberg, they find it nearly impossible to change course and adapt to the fast, flexible structure of today’s small businesses. And much like the Titanic, they have the challenge of momentum, the ego of “expert” leadership, and tainted judgment about profitability because THEIR model for making money doesn’t match what really works for the average small-business owner.Still, if I were to profess that I had the cure for the diseased, business growth solutions of the past, that new cure itself would be a disease because it forces your business reality into yet another mold.In the same way that you cannot get a piece of paper to wrap and shape water, growing your own business as efficiently as possible can never be made to totally conform to any one system. However, without any structure, you can’t achieve optimal levels of success. You’ll experience decreased follow-through, resulting in subpar levels of performance, profits, and personal fulfillment. The balance between the two is what I meant when I said, “using YOUR System as THE System.” Here are three simple steps you can use to begin creating your own system for growth, and how you can prepare yourself to profit from the marketplace of the new millennium:Step 1. Gain a thorough understanding of your own “Natural Style.” (This is a combination of your unique personality, passions, experience and skills/abilities.) By doing this you’ll be equipped to bend and mold proven (but generic) success strategies to suit you and your business more quickly … and with much less painful trial and error!Step 2. Research and gather the proven success strategies and time-tested techniques that directly apply to your business or industry. (There’s no need to reinvent the wheel, so look to others in your industry who have already made it big.) Step 3. Finally, you’ll want to practice the principle of “Xponential Growth” in your business. This is a proven process of intentionally planning for, and then making, small incremental improvements in multiple areas of your business. When you consistently repeat this step, your business will grow on a daily basis, almost indiscernibly. Yet, when analyzed over an extended period of time, you will have achieved Xponential growth in astounding proportions! When you work together with your business coach and a peer group of successful business owners to consistently follow through on these steps – you will accelerate this entire process even further. With these high-leverage resources, you’ll experience growth that’s rapid and flexible, while being consistent and focused. © Copyright 1999-2004 by RPM Success Group ® www.rpmsuccess.com, All rights reserved.

A Brief History Of The Bucket

A Brief History Of The Bucket

by

kozmicbluej

The bucket has been a part of human history for thousands of years. Thought to originate from the word \”buc\”, which meant pitcher in Old English, the word first came into use in the 13th century, and continues to be a part of our ever evolving language, from slang to computer terminology.

From early childhood – the miniature bucket and spade, enjoyed in a sand pit or at the seaside, to the end of human life when people euphemistically \”kick the bucket\”, this essential item is part of daily life and language, used in every part of the world.

Ancient buckets

The earliest depictions of these useful objects are found on carvings dating from around 3200 BC, which show the Pharaoh Narmer with a servant carrying a bucket. Assyro-Babylonian carvings have gods and genies with small buckets, containing lustral (holy) water in one hand and a pine cone for sprinkling in the other. Ancient Olmec carvings in Mexico also show priests with small buckets.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwrbGQ9Vijs[/youtube]

Greek artefacts

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has a beautifully painted Greek terracotta bucket (situla) dating from 350 BC. These buckets were used for decanting, cooling and serving wine. The museum also has very rare one made of glass with silver handles, which is most unusual, as metal situlas were far more common.

Roman fire fighters

The Vigiles, modelled on Alexandrian fire fighters, became known as the \”little bucket fellows\” (Spartoli), or the bucket brigades. The buckets they used were made of rope sealed with pitch. Human \”bucket chains\” continued to be used by firefigters, and are still used by rescuers of earthquake victims to this day.

Medieval Europe

In northern European countries, buckets were made from metal, wood and leather. Wooden buckets were made by coopers with staves or rope handles. Apart from their manifold domestic uses: milking, drawing water from wells, sanitation and building, they were also used in war machines like catapults as an early form of germ warfare, used for hurling waste, dead and diseased human body parts and animals over the fortification walls of towns, castles and keeps.

Galvanized iron buckets

Patented by Stanislas Sorel in 1837, sturdy and rustproof galvanised buckets rapidly replaced leather and wooden buckets. Metal buckets with different compartments and removable cups, were manufactured for use as lunch containers. Enameled lunch buckets known as gamelles and graniteware containers with lids continued to be made up to the last century. The basic metal bucket was further adapted for a variety of uses including coal scuttles, poultry feeders and drinkers, mop buckets and digger buckets.

The plastic bucket

Cheap, light, multi-coloured plastic buckets first became available in 1967, in a variety of shapes and sizes. They were rapidly adopted by the food industry for the sale of ice-cream, confectionery, take-away chicken and other foodstuffs. Plastic buckets are used to sell cleaning products, animal feeds, fertilisers, toys, nails, paper clips and countless other items.Their continued use seems to be assured, regardless of modern advances and inventions.

Insulate Your House And Save Money On Electricity

Submitted by: Santiago Demery

One of the main problems with the homes which have been built in South Africa is that it has not been created to withstand the cold. South Africa for most part has a moderate climate yet with climate changes over the years we have been experiencing more and more sever winters. Houses in Europe will often have double glazed windows to be able to block out the cold along with panel radiators which keeps the house warm and also heats the water.

Due to the fact our homes aren’t properly insulated the heat escapes that much simpler and so we continuously need to keep our heaters on to keep warm. This as you know causes a hike in our electricity bill every winter. If your house was properly insulated however you could heat your house and then switch of the heating elements and the temperature within the home will be moderate and maintain the warmth for hours. It is estimated that by installing insulation you could save on your energy costs up to 55 Percent .

Insulation not only serves to keep your house snug in cooler months however, it also acts to keep your house cool in hotter months! The great thing about insulation is it also blocks the intense summer heat from coming inside the house. Before coming to learn of insulation and experiencing it firsthand I was under the misguided perception the insulation would trap the heat inside the home during summer months causing it to become like a cooker.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TU0CMoggvk[/youtube]

My thinking was faulty because the heat doesn’t originate from inside the house unless there is some sort of heating, the heat emanates from the sun. So during summer months the insulation soaks up the suns heat maintaining the inside of your house cool whilst during the cold months it keeps the heat which is generated from inside the house trapped indoors.

The reason why it has been statistically proven to reduce your electricity bill by up to 55% is because you’ll save electricity in the summer months too by not having to use air conditioning units and electric fans. Both which use electricity to function.

There is another advantage of home insulation as well, besides your personal comfort and that is the advantage that it has on the environment. By reducing your personal energy usage you are reducing the damaging effects that the use of non alternative energy sources have on this earth. Everybody in this day and age needs to de-pollute the environment if we still want our kids and grandchildren to have an earth to live on in the future.

If you’d want to make your home substantially more eco-friendly you can also set up solar panels which will lessen your energy costs even more. It might seem a bit like a dream but there are folks who pay virtually nothing on their electricity bill every month.

The initial cost of insulation may seem steep to many individuals, but if you look at the lifelong savings you will soon see the impressive return on your expenditure.

When You File Bankruptcy, Denver Residents Should Think Twice About Going It Alone

Submitted by: Jonathon Blocker

If you are an individual, it is legal for you to file bankruptcy. Denver residents do this all the time. However, it is not always in your best interests to do so. It makes sense, at this important time, to seek the help of Denver bankruptcy attorneys. A bankruptcy lawyer in Denver will work on your behalf to help you get the financial relief you are entitled to under the law.

If you are a lawyer yourself, then you may have the knowledge needed for the process to file bankruptcy. Denver residents who are not lawyers, however, leave themselves open to financial risk if they attempt to wade their way through the legal maze that is contemporary bankruptcy proceedings. The process is quite complicated, and there are several necessary forms to fill out and required meetings to attend. You would likely not know where to begin the process of filing, or even which chapter would be best for you, but a Denver bankruptcy lawyer is well-versed in all of the myriad aspects of bankruptcy law and can help you make you way through it successfully.

According to bankruptcy attorneys, Denver residents can expect to face several deadlines in the procedure to file bankruptcy. Denver residents will first meet with their Denver bankruptcy attorneys to learn more, and will then take their credit counseling class. If you are filing jointly with your spouse, then both of you must attend, or you may attend as an individual if you are filing individually. After completion of the course, you will receive a certificate, which you will need as part of the paperwork required to file.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XU6GNe-niw[/youtube]

Your Denver bankruptcy lawyer will next ask you to gather together some needed information. This will include the last two years of your tax filings, your bills, driver’s license and social security card. With this information, your Denver bankruptcy attorneys will help you fill out all of the paperwork that you will need to petition the court for the bankruptcy.

You have a couple of options for filing with the help of bankruptcy attorneys. Denver residents may file the forms with the court, or your Denver bankruptcy lawyer can do it for you online.

Next is to prepare for your meeting of creditors, for which you will want to prepare with your bankruptcy attorneys. Denver lawyers will join you at the courthouse for this meeting. The trustee at this meeting may ask for information, and this can be handled by bankruptcy attorneys. Denver residents then attend the next credit counseling class and earn the certificate, which goes to your lawyer. At this point, your creditors either will or will not object to your discharge, and you either head back to court or you get the discharge, or you begin making agreed upon monthly payments and receive a discharge notice at the end of your payment plan.

Your lawyer will, in short, make filing a lot easier for you with his or her help.

How Googles Real Time Access To Tweets May Impact Your Seo}

Submitted by: Amaya Dixit

A few years back, when you did a search you may have chanced upon a Tweet or two in your SERPs. Through a deal that was struck between the two, Google gained access to Twitters data stream and in return, these tweets would be displayed in search results in real time. But when the agreement expired in 2011, Google lost access to the little blue birds data stream. But today, the two giants are shaking on the deal yet again by indexing tweets as soon as they are posted. So should SEO mavericks pop open the bubbly or wring their hands in desperation? Here are a few ways that Googles real-time access to Tweets may impact your SEO and what you can do about it.

What This Actually Means

Through this agreement, Google will have real-time access to tweets via a data feed, which is also known as the Twitter Firehose. It will take some prep time for this deal to come into effect, but when it does, prepare to see far more tweets in search results. This means that SEO mavericks may now be able to include Twitter in their SEO strategies and use the platform to increase their presence in Googles SERPs.

How Google May Choose Which Tweets to Index

While there havent been any official statements yet as to what the plan of action is on Googles part, given their track record, they may start with those tweets that are of most value to their audience. Be prepared for some pretty stringent anti-spam measures to be put in place as well, so fluff will not fly.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqD86obUBN0[/youtube]

It seems like Google will be fairly conservative when it comes to their indexing efforts, and will only include the stuff they are sure arent spam. This points to the fact that it may be quite challenging for SEO marketers, especially in the beginning, to ace this system.

Google might keep its eye open for certain signs that point to valuable tweets. This could be on the lines of:

Third party web site links to a users profile

Third party web site links to the tweets itself

The amount of times a tweet is favorited and by whom

The amount of times a tweet is retweeted and by whom

How SEO Marketers Can Tweak Their Effort

All of the above information elaborates that maximizing ones engagement on Twitter shows that the content you tweet is more valuable in nature and therefore should be indexed by Google. But how do SEO marketers do that?

The answer, surprisingly enough, is very simple. According to recent research, one of the most significant factors responsible for boosting retweets and favorites was the use of imagery in tweets. It was revealed that tweets with imagery could get five to nine times as many total retweets, which is quite a substantial figure.

Other ways to increase engagement, retweets and favorites are the use of hashtags and the implementation of longer tweets, but these didnt show half as much value as including images.

Another tactic to employ is to develop relationships on Twitter, especially with influencers who will retweet your most important content, thereby making Google aware of what you have to say. When the influencer tweets with a link to your content, it may appear on SERPS and thus give you access to a larger audience. Basically, what SEO marketers need to do is increase the time and effort they spend on Twitter.

Quality And Sturdy Wooden Block Toys

Many manufacturers modified their way of creating toys like wooden block models. They started being used industrially, thus they produced new materials such as tin. As the century advances are spreading also instructive games and start talking first educational toys.

The plastic toy transforms

But the real revolution will come from the toy’s hand s. XX. It raises concerns about hygiene and aseptic materials. Arise in this way, and in the 30’s, dolls made of celluloid, paste-board, etc.. Interwar sample of this is the fondness for toy soldiers and dolls dressed by fashion and hairstyles. Although the Anglo-Saxon influence and Americanized doll will soon arrive.

A mid-century, in 1948, applied for the first time plastic doll. The plastics revolution resulted in increased production and lower prices. The dolls are left to be democratic and accessible only to lords. It has not stopped evolving. Apart of finding the top safe toys, you need to look for wooden block kits.

Electricity is allied with the game

The addition of electricity to the toys came in a casual, like so many discoveries throughout history: At the beginning of s. Joshua Lionel Cowen XX created an electric train as a lure to the window of his toys, but received so many requests that the advertising attraction eventually became a classic in the toy industry. In 1912 already produced models with lighting inside. After the birth of the automobile helped unbridled enthusiasm and were soon selling small cars made of metal to scale were adding lights and electric motor.

It is also worth mentioning the story of a potato that became the best selling toy in history. In 1952 it was born a unique toy, Mr. Potato. He was also the first toy advertised on television. But his image was very different to what we know today. The game itself consisted only of a series of pieces (arms, mouth, nose, mustache, pipe, arms …) that were stuck on a real potato, who named the Product: Mr. Potato Head (Mr. Head Potato). The idea was the result of manufacturers. But, were all this leaves a wooden block?

Believe it or not, blocks are still around and they can help children more than any other toy. For this Christmas you can give away a great game for your children. There are many toys targeting girls aged between six and twelve. For instance, online options are like simulators that have been adapted for children’s feminine. Manufacturers have developed mannequin dolls considering aesthetics in 3D characters and placed them in universes. Yet, many believe a wooden block is the top choice not only due to its simplicity but because it is for both genders.

Japanese Restaurants

Submitted by: Tom Takihi

Whoever said Japanese food is merely all about sushi and sashimi may be in for the biggest gastronomic surprise of his life. While these offerings may lord over the tables in most Japanese restaurants around the world, there exist a wide variety of cuisines and food specialities in Japan that visitors to this country would definitely enjoy as part of their adventure into exploring the culture. The perfect way to sample these would be to take a delightful tour of the restaurants that dot the landscape of bustling cities like Tokyo, Hokkaido and Kyushu as well as in rustic provinces like Tohoku.

The restaurants in Japan may be classified according to their cuisine offerings. There are restaurants that typically offer a broad range of dishes. Most commonly found are the Izakaya – informal dining places that offer dishes such as the robata (grilled food), salads and other types of food served in small portions and shared all around the table. It is also a common watering hole for most Japanese. There is also the Teishoku-ya, popular among lunch crowds and busy executives for the set menus or teishoku. A set menu would typically consist of a bowl of rice, a main dish and some side dishes. For those on-the-go, there is udon and ramen (noodle) to be had in mobile food stalls found along busy streets called Yatai. You can also try to spot a Rotensho or those temporarily constructed food stalls along the streets which offer yakisoba or okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancakes).

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG73IofrTBA[/youtube]

If you are in the mood for just one type of food you can almost be sure there is a Japanese restaurant that specializes in that. Sushi restaurants (Sushi-ya) in Japan are typically cheery, brightly lit places where a sushi chef prepares fresh seafood, meat, vegetables and other ingredients in front of the customers, turning them into scrumptious, tender morsels. A different twist to the sushi bars would be restaurants like the kaiten-zushi where the sushi dishes are loaded onto a conveyor belt and customers can just pick up their selections from it. Although there may be a wide array of sushi dishes which you can find on the belt, you can still order anything from the menu and at the end of the meal, your bill will depend on the number as well as the color of the plates (prices are usually based on the color of the plates the dishes are served in) on your table.

For noodle aficionados there are also different choices. You can go to a Soba-ya, specializing in udon and soba noodle dishes. The noodle dishes in a soba-ya are mostly served cold with a dipping sauce in the summer, or hot with various toppings during the winter season.
