Happy 4th of July!….

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ,

AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS,

ONE NATION UNDER GOD,

INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

For All of our other military personnel, where ever they may be
Please Support all of the troops defending our Country.

And God Bless our Military who are protecting our Country for our Freedom.
Thanks To them, and their sacrifices we can celebrate the 4th of July

We must never forget who Gets the credit for the freedoms we have, of which we should be
Eternally grateful..

I watched the flag Pass by one day, It fluttered in the breeze.

A young Marine Saluted it,
And then he stood at ease..

I looked at Him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square And eyes alert
He’d stand out in any crowd.

I thought how many men Like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign Soil
How many mothers’ tears?

How many pilots’ planes Shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers’ Graves ?
No, freedom isn’t free

I heard the sound of Taps One night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler Play
And felt a sudden chill.

I wondered just how many times

That Taps had meant ‘Amen,’

When a flag had draped a Coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.

I thought of all the Children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and Husbands
With interrupted lives.

I Thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea

Of unmarked graves in Arlington .
No, freedom isn’t free.

Enjoy Your Freedom & God Bless Our Troops

When You read this, please stop for a moment
And Say a Prayer for our servicemen.
Of all the gifts you could give A US Soldier, Prayer is the very best One.

Happy 4th of July to everyone and Please remember Why we have the freedom to make the choices we do and live the lives we live. happy 4th of july

Tax Audits can be nerve racking for even the most honest and forthright taxpayer. Audits are issued to a certain number of people each year after computer programs decipher which tax forms deviate from the norm. If your income is especially high or low in a given year, sending a letter explaining why could help you bypass a tax audit.

There are 3 main types of audits:

1. An in-house audit is when the IRS agent comes to your work,
2. An office audits require you to provide information in person at the IRS office
3. A correspondence audit simply requires you to mail the required information

Any audit will likely bring some stress and require preparation. Below are some easy ways to prepare for an IRS income tax audit.

* Figure out what portion of your tax return is being questioned. Sometimes it’s only one portion while others it’s the whole shebang.
* Copy the pertinent information that you will need and be sure to keep the originals for your records. You may need them later on.
* Demonstrate how you calculated the disputed figures on paper to provide an explanation.
* Lawyers who specialize in taxes can review your case and advise you on the best way to proceed. They’re experts on the law and have handled many audits and complicated tax cases before.
* Don’t volunteer information that’s not under review. If your audit only concerns one portion of your taxes, bring just the pertinent documents in an organized fashion. Preparedness will earn you some points with your auditor because it makes things for them much easier.
* Ask questions! If you don’t know why you’re being audited or what they would like to see, then ask. It will make both of your lives easier not having to make multiple appointments and suffer the prolonged frustration of someone fingering through your finances.

Well it is time to get started on putting together your receipts, paystubs, W2’s and any other tax write offs you think you will have.  January is always a tough year to start gathering those things up, most of us are still recovering from the holidays and the new years celebrations.  To help you get started let me explain what I think is a good way to start getting organized.

Get all your receipts and put a big clip on them or a paper clip depending on how many you have.

Gather all important documentation up such as taxes on your home from the county accessor, W2’s (and/or last pay stubs)

Go through bank statments and highlight business expenses that you may have incurred along with persoanl expenses
such as daycare, babysitters, donations etc…. Mark them for what they are off to the side.

Go to your banks website and most banks will allow you to download end of year documents such as:
- End of year interest statements
- End of year bank statements

Once all these documents are gathered put them all into a yellow folder and mark them 2009 tax information.
by doing this you will be able to stay more organized when going to file your taxes.

Why is it important to get organized before you see your tax preparer? By being prepared and having your information
organized it will make the tax filing process go quicker which will allow you to get your refund faster, now who
doesn’t like a fast tax return?

If you have any other questions about getting prepared and what items you may need in addition to the ones I have listed
in this article please give me a call at 801-688-4278 or at liz@customtaxservices.com, and you can ask for me by name
which is Liz. As always I am here to serve your needs and get you the best return possible as fast as possible.

Keep your money in your pocket not the IRS’s.
