Over the last several years, the IRS has been updating their back-end systems and processes in an effort to move to a more efficient and modernized platform. As we all know, to get from point A to B can often take a lot of time and effort.
The IRS has used the ‘Legacy’ platform since 1985 to e-file individual returns. In 2004 they introduced ‘CADE’ (Customer Account Data Engine) to process 1040EZ returns, with other forms and schedules added in a three-phase process. The MeF (Modernized eFile) model was implemented in 2007 for business returns. In 2010 individual returns were included, but on a limited forms and schedules basis. In 2012 the IRS plans to adopt all individual forms and schedules to the MeF platform, however, this could be delayed.
So, what are the differences between these e-file platforms?
The Legacy platform has been used to process individual federal and state returns for years, and allows the majority of the individual forms and schedules to be e-filed. Legacy has set drain times, and refunds are released on a weekly basis, taking 8-15 days.
CADE is a database that processes a limited number of individual federal forms and schedules. Returns processed through CADE have a refund cycle of five business days, compared to the Legacy weekly cycle which takes 8-15 days. Returns processed through CADE are selected on the IRS side. As a preparer, no information is passed back to you regarding the returns filed through this system.
The MeF platform has been used to process business returns since 2007. In 2010 individual returns were added. The MeF platform handles a limited number of individual federal forms and schedules. Drain cycles are omitted in the MeF platform, returning near-real-time acknowledgements. Like the Legacy platform, individual refunds are released on a weekly basis taking 8-15 days, unless selected to flow through CADE which could be received in five business days. MeF also allows e-filing for two prior years, supporting a total of three tax seasons.
What does the future hold?
Moving forward, the IRS and states will move individual returns to the MeF platform, and the Legacy platform will be retired. The CADE system will allow IRS Customer Service representatives access to accurate and up-to-date information. The CADE database will enhance the use of both e-file and paper return data across the IRS, improving services and reducing costs.
1040Works professional tax software has the ability to e-file on all platforms. Get a free trial of 1040Works by visiting http://www.1040works.com/free_demo.aspx.

Small Business Week may have ended on May 20th, but in celebration, the IRS gave a gift that keeps on giving: free resources and information. Faris Fink, IRS Commissioner for the Small Business and Self-Employed Division explained, “When you’re running a business, you don’t need to be a tax expert, too. But you do need some basics to stay tax compliant so your business can thrive. There are many tax credits and deductions currently available. So now is a good time to learn about the tools and services the IRS offers.”
The IRS reminded small business owners and their tax preparers of the Small Business Tax Center. The center provides links to useful IRS tools like their Video Portal which archives copies of all webinars intended for small business and tax professionals (the one that ran last week entitled “Small Business Advantage” will be posted two weeks after it originally aired). There you can also find a downloadable tax calendar, common forms, instructions on securing an Employer Identification Number (EIN), information on starting, operating, or closing a business, and more.
The IRS also used the opportunity to remind business owners about important tax credits they can claim, including the small business healthcare credit which encourages small businesses and tax-exempt organizations to offer their employees affordable health care. Tax relief can also be found in Depreciation and Amortization: Form 4562, through which small businesses can deduct most of their costly purchases in new property and equipment. Small business owners can take advantage of these benefits when filing their 2011 returns.
Universal Accounting is Also a Valuable Resource

Work with the IRS
If you’re a tax preparer, you might consider working with the IRS to enhance your credentials while participating in valuable community service. On May 2nd the IRS requested the submission of applications for the Internal Revenue Service Advisory (IRSAC), an organization that enables IRS officials and representatives to discuss significant tax issues as they relate to the federal tax administration.
Comprised of up to 35 individuals, members of the Internal Revenue Service Advisory fulfill a three-year appointment. Each fall the IRSAC submits an annual report to the commissioner at a public meeting.
IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman says, “The feedback and recommendations from IRSAC members have and will continue to assist the IRS with a wide range of strategic initiatives.”
Applications are being accepted for approximately 12 positions that begin in January of 2012; to be considered, submit your application before June 17th.
Individuals and organizations can nominate qualified professionals for the IRSAC which is comprised of people with diverse backgrounds and professional expertise. Professionals with tax experience are encouraged to apply, including tax attorneys, certified public accountants, enrolled agents, appraisers, and the business community.
In addition to IRSAC applicants, the Treasury Department and the IRS are also seeking public comment “on issues relating to the shared responsibility provisions included in the Affordable Care Act that will apply to certain employers starting in 2014.”
The Affordable Care Act requires employers to report the cost of insurance coverage they provide their employees; the information is to be noted on each employee’s annual W-2 Form and will apply to various employers beginning in 2014. This act may also require employers with 50 or more full-time employees that do not offer affordable health coverage to submit a shared responsibility payment.
The IRS is currently requesting feedback on several issues related to this act, specifically regarding how employers can comply with the shared responsibility provisions and determine which employees qualify as full-time.
Visit the IRS website for more information on submitting comments and applications.

In a public webcast streamed in late March, the IRS announced that the continuing education requirements for registered tax preparers who are not CPAs, EAs or attorneys will begin in 2012. In addition, those with temporary PTINs must be fingerprinted and submit to background checks; they also must pass the competency exam by December 31, 2013.
The IRS expects to have the competency exam available in late summer or early fall of this year. There will only be one exam that will cover a number of different tax topics. While a vendor has not yet been selected, the IRS does hope to do so within the next few weeks, after which they will announce exam locations. Testing centers will be available at various locations around the US and in some foreign countries where individuals can complete the online exam. Those who do not prepare Form 1040 are exempt from this testing requirement.
The test is ‘closed book,’ meaning that outside materials will not be allowed during the examination. However, the webcast implied that reference materials would be provided for those interested in preparing for the exam. The test will cover basic competency for individual returns, specifically how one determines various outcomes, calculations, etc. The IRS will soon release an exam outline which will detail tested content.
While the IRS is not providing a sample test or a preparatory course, they did recommend enlisting the help of agencies like Universal Accounting (UA) and the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP) in adequately preparing for their competency exam.
Universal Accounting’s Tax Training
UA’s Professional Tax Preparer program will help you comply with the new tax preparer regulations established by the IRS.

Letters Notify Tax Preparers of Incorrect Returns
The IRS is sending out letters (approximately 10,000) to tax preparers as a reminder of the importance in submitting accurate returns for their clients. The letters are being sent to preparers who completed returns with common errors; also included is an enclosure reminding tax preparers of their responsibilities as well as the penalties for filling incorrect forms.
The IRS also plans on sending representatives to visit approximately 2,500 recipients of this letter to “further discuss their responsibilities as a return preparer and to verify their compliance with existing requirements.” These measures follow recommendations made by IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman in January after a comprehensive six-month study of the tax return preparer industry.
The IRS notes that while they recognize the majority of preparers are honest professionals, some make careless errors while others engage in illegal and fraudulent activities. This letter and the scheduled visits are intended to monitor such activity. This IRS and the Department of Justice continue to pursue civil or criminal action as appropriate.
Taxpayers should exercise discretion when choosing a preparer. Expect reputable preparers to request their receipts and ask numerous questions in order to determine which expenses qualify as deductions or warrant favorable tax treatment. Such preparers are helping their clients avoid penalties, interest or additional taxes that could result in further IRS scrutiny.

Interest Rates for 2011 First Quarter Decrease
On December 15th the IRS announced that interest rates for the calendar quarter beginning the first day of 2011 will decrease by one percentage point. According to a recent press release, the rates will be as follows:
- three (3) percent for overpayments [two (2) percent in the case of a corporation];
- three (3) percent for underpayments;
- five (5) percent for large corporate underpayments; and
- zero and one-half (0.5) percent for the portion of a corporate overpayment exceeding $10,000.
For more information on the calculation of these rates, visit http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=232163,00.html.
Reminder of New Registration Requirement for All Return Preparers
According to new IRS regulations, all paid tax preparers are required to obtain a Preparer Identification Number (PTIN) by the end of December, 2010. If you do not currently have a PTIN, or if you obtained one prior to September 28, 2010, you can use their new online application system to obtain one. All paid tax preparers who prepare all or substantially all of a tax return are required to use the new registration system. It costs $64.25 to secure or renew a PTIN which you can receive immediately after completing your online application. Or you can submit Form W-12 in order to mail the request, which will take 4 to 6 weeks.
For more information on the new requirements for paid tax preparers, visit Universal at http://www.hometaxbusiness.com/new-irs-tax-regulations.html.

On the reader board for a local beauty salon it reads, “We refuse to participate in a recession.” Such an attitude inspires interest and confidence in such a business.
Too many small business owners had allowed the stable economy to lure them into complacency. Were you one of them? The recession, however, is delivering many a much-needed wakeup call. If looked at positively, you can see the recession as an important lesson in attending to your business’s growth and strategic position in order to experience success. This is the most effective way to disengage from the recession.
No Laurels Allowed
In order to be a successful entrepreneur, you cannot afford to rest on your laurels, in or out of a recession. What does this mean? You must always be on the lookout for ways to improve your practice by advancing your service offerings and enhancing customer service. As a tax preparer, one key way to do this is in adding accounting and QuickBooks services to your menu.
Geometric Growth
Truly successful entrepreneurs are continually fostering geometric growth within their businesses. And what’s geometric growth? Linear growth requires you to do even more work for your current clients, and while that’s great, linear growth slows down over time. You can only get so far preparing taxes for the same clients. Geometric growth comes from many different angles: from existing clients, from new clients, from existing services and from new services.
By adding accounting and QuickBook services to your offerings, you attract new and existing clients to these new services, increasing your profitability and turning a seasonal business into a full-time venture.
The Professional Bookkeeper Course
Not only will this course train you in small business accounting, but it will enable you to use the accounting information you generate to act as a Profit Expert for your clients. You will become confident watching key indicators that diagnose a business’s health. You will understand how accounting, marketing, and production all work together in order to create a thriving business. And you will become well versed in key marketing strategies designed to attract the clients who would most benefit from your valuable services.
There are countless reasons why this program exceeds all others, and we’ll simplify things by listing them here:
- A self-paced program you can complete in as little as 60 hours
- A modestly-priced course compared to other training programs, including those found on university campuses
- Practical, hands-on training that will prepare you for typical day-to-day small business accounting functions
- The ability to earn the Professional Bookkeeper (PB) designation
- 6 months of follow-up support with our trained professionals
- Training in proven marketing techniques that will enable you to find and retain clients
- 12 valuable instructional DVD’s and manuals designed to help you continually review and master concepts
- The confidence to become the premier full-service financial provider in your area
- An iron-clad guarantee that makes the PB Program a risk-free professional investment
The Professional Bookkeeper’s Guide to QuickBooks
But why stop with just small business accounting? Why not add another valuable complementary service to your practice, putting you way ahead of the pack? Our Professional Bookkeeper’s Guide to QuickBooks will help you master QuickBooks, by far the most popular accounting software used by small businesses. Upon doing so you will not only be able to add QuickBooks services to your menu, but you will begin attracting a new demographic that will bring more business your way.
Our newly updated QuickBooks training includes the following:
- Training targeted for all user types
- The ability to work more efficiently
- 6 months of follow-up support
- The opportunity to earn a QuickBooks Specialist (QS) designation
- 16 CDs with 15 hours of training
- 4 books with over 800 pages of instruction
- Full color
Will you participate in the recession? In adding accounting and QuickBooks services to your offerings you will grow your business geometrically by increasing your methods of generating income. If you’re a freelance tax preparer this just might give you the opportunity to quit your day job and work as a professional accountant and tax preparer year-round. Or this might mean that you increase the income you generate on the side. For those of you who currently have your own tax practice, this helps you to expand your business and outlast, and maybe even enjoy, the recession. Take steps now to grow your business.

Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right. – Oprah Winfrey
With the New Year just a couple weeks away, many are preparing to jump-start their businesses with new approaches and strategies. Last week we introduced the following five tips to help you prepare for a more productive and profitable New Year:
1. Revamp workplace
2. Clean up computer files
3. Revisit damaged relationships
4. Create a financial forecast
5. Implement new techniques and services
This week we’ll complete this series by covering the final five tips on preparing your tax practice for a New Year of business:
6. Consider final tax benefits
You’re a tax professional; this one should be a no-brainer. In fact, you’ve probably already given your clients this tip. Take advantage of holiday sales to purchase items your business will need next year. They’re deductible and you should easily be able to stock up on furniture, supplies, and other equipment you use in your business.
7. Contact clients
Some businesses send holiday cards or even give gifts. Whatever you do, it’s important that you remind clients of your services before the New Year begins. You may also want to take the opportunity to share with them your valuable, year-round tax planning services which can help them lower their tax liability and ultimately save them money.
8. Go green
More and more professionals are looking for ways to lessen the impact of their businesses on the environment. Consider incorporating a few environmentally conscious techniques that will ultimately save you money in the long run: recycle, look at alternative energy sources, cut back on energy consumption and waste, and consider purchasing a hybrid vehicle. Some of these practices are accompanied with valuable tax breaks. That, and it will just make you feel good.
9. Eliminate clutter
No one likes to start the New Year with a messy office. Give your office a good cleaning before 2009 so that you’re not dreading the paperwork stacked on your desk. Along with revamping your office, creating a clean and functional workspace will make you more productive. Not to mention, you may enjoy your work more.
10. Create your New Year business strategy
Every business should evaluate their standing and, based on scrutiny of past performance, create a strategy that will enable their practices to be more productive in the New Year. As you assess your business’s performance, consider ways you might improve your marketing strategies, networking approaches, and work processes. From there you can develop a list of resolutions that will make your business more profitable.

All the tools at my fingertips to make $100 per hour… and I don’t need a college degree?
That’s right. An exciting and rewarding career as a Professional Tax Preparer could be the perfect way to create the kind of lifestyle that you are looking for. There are several advantages of owning your own Tax Preparation Service and not the least of these is an ability to earn an incredible income.Let’s take a look at some of the reasons you should consider this lucrative occupation.
Earn a Better Income
If you’re like most people, you’ve spent a good deal of your life working for someone else and putting money into their pocket. Wouldn’t it be nice to earn the same type of income your boss does? Would you like to do better than that? With a career in Professional Tax Preparation, you can. With the right training, you’ll be able to bill $100 per hour or more for your services.
Be Your Own Boss
Working for yourself can be one of the most rewarding things you can do. You’re in a position to provide for yourself the type of lifestyle you and your family deserve.
Stable Income
Owning your own business can provide a stable income? I thought it was just the opposite.It sure can. If you plan and use a proven strategy for success, you will be able to create a very stable income and lifestyle.In years past, you could work in a big corporation and find all the security of lifelong employment, but those days are over. Because of corporate restructuring, layoffs, downsizing, and countless other reasons, many people have found that the career choice they thought would lead them to a secure future didn’t. But don’t despair; you can experience that security by being in business for yourself. You just need to make the right choices.Lewis Schiff, the “Armchair Millionaire” featured each week on CNN Money says, “There’s financial security to be found in nearly any employment situation–if you know how to build it. You’ll have to work … for that security when you’re self-employed, but the personal and financial rewards can make it well worth while.” We can all agree that the last person fired when a company fails is the owner.
Tax Benefits
When you own your own business there are a few perks that employees don’t get to enjoy. There are many things that you can either partially or completely write off as tax deductions. Your car, your home office, your computer and your office supplies to name just a few.
A Tax Preparation business is the perfect addition to a Bookkeeping service!
Adding a Tax Preparation business to a Bookkeeping service is just like adding Hot Fudge to Vanilla ice cream. It’s a perfect combination. By adding Tax services to your Bookkeeping services you are in a position to offer an even greater level of service to your clients. There isn’t any other person who has the day-to-day experience with your client’s financial situation that you do.Nobody is better qualified to offer your clients the year-round tax planning advice and guidance that you will be able to offer them. And you will be able to positively affect their bottom-line profits as you help them make well-informed decisions and how they impact their tax particular tax situation. And that’s not all, your clients will see more and more value in your services and advice; and be willing to pay for that value.
Why should I learn Tax Preparation for Universal Accounting?
That’s easy. We’ve been teaching Tax Preparation and Bookkeeping since 1979. With thousands of our graduates in successful careers as Accountants and Tax Preparers we will provide you with all the “nuts-and-bolts” of Tax Preparation. You will be prepared to offer your clients the finest tax advice that they will be able to find anywhere.Not only that, but you’ll learn tax preparation by hands-on learning.

I haven’t found a more complete program anywhere.You’ll learn how to prepare personal as well as business returns. Most courses offer instruction on either one or the other.Our distance learning course includes DVD instruction, work-books, coaching and support, as well as on-line evaluation to ensure that once you’ve completed the course you’re ready. Universal Accounting is the only organization authorized to award the Professional Tax Preparer certification.
