The reason I am asking is because the company I work for had a so called accountant in 2004. She never filed federal quarterly taxes (914). When I started here back in September 05, I walked into a total mess. No payroll taxes were paid, I had no paperwork to even take a guess at wages earned or what was withheld. Did not even know what happened to the money she withheld because she sure was not making tax deposits. So, I put everyone on payroll through a payroll company. The Alabama Dept. of Revenue called me one day because they saw where someone was actually making tax deposits. He saw that I was trying to straighten everything out and worked with me on all the stuff that was not filed or paid. That is all done and paid. Well, here comes this man who thinks he is God and starts a levy on income for the business. He offered no explanation and in his report he states that this business has not paid ANY taxes, AT ALL the entire time the business has been in operation. I told him that he was out of line not to mention WRONG, and that we would just shut the business down and file bankruptcy. He said to me "Well, that is good" I mean WHAT?? THAT IS GOOD? It is good that a business is going to stop operating? I could not get this man to work with me AT ALL! He told me he was retiring in two months in which I replied "Well, that is good"
I also told him, more or less, good riddance.
I believe his "God-like mindset" is racially motivated. Matter of fact, I know it is. Should I call an ethics hotline?
So, this is why I am asking the questions.
Although, it may have done some good because the federal guy is now communicating and giving me exactly which forms I need to get the 18 wheelers straightened out, as far as Heavy Hwy. use taxes. There is no documentation for me to show any losses, no expenses on the trucks, nothing from 04 and part of 05. All I have is what I started, which is not enough to show a loss. I do not understand that.
