My name is ******* ***** I Own ******* **** *** located at **** ** ********** *** ****** *** In September of 2022 I had to fire my CPA due to not filling the required reports not being summited to the state in a timely manor causing a ton of letters from IRS about failure to report and pay taxes as well as tons of late fining fees and fines. During the entire time ***** was our CPA we struggled to get our records timely and I trusted he was keeping our business in good standing with the IRS. After firing ***** Shields accounting I hired my new accountant **** ***** her and I made several attempts took almost three months to get the necessary documents from ***** Shields to **** ***** so she could finally get my accounts in good standing. In December I found out that I qualified for a Employee Tax Credit that is huge for our small business. On 1/18/22 I emailed ***** requesting my payroll records that only he had that were needed in order to push forward with the ETC. He replied that he would not provide these documents On 2/10 again requested the documents that ONLY he has access to he is refusing. I have that documented see attachment. I stand to loose these critical credit and it will cost me major loss at our Business. This grant was going to allow me to create more jobs and to be able to give my employees a much needed raise. In addition ***** knows this he offered to help me with this credit when we were discussing letting him go for failure to keep our business in good standing of course he wanted a 25% fee for doing the paperwork for us for the credit. At the end of the day I am simply asking that he provide my payroll and all of my records that he has held from me. He has my employee files as well as my tax and expresses that have not been returned.
