Urgent Tax & Bookkeeping Cleanup — Florida S-Corp, Delinquent Sales Tax & IRS Filing
Worldwide
I am looking for an experienced CPA, Enrolled Agent (EA), or qualified tax professional to urgently help me resolve my business tax and bookkeeping situation and become fully compliant. I own a Florida S-Corporation operating a phone repair, phone buying/selling, parts, accessories, and electronics business. Current Situation I have fallen behind on my Florida sales tax filings and have not filed my sales tax returns since approximately June 2025. I have received multiple notices from the Florida Department of Revenue, including a notice stating that I have an estimated tax/delinquency balance of $2,000+. I have also received a time-sensitive notice requiring me to appear at the Florida Department of Revenue. I have also not yet completed my 2025 federal income tax filings. I want to resolve everything correctly and become fully compliant. I currently have limited funds and may not be able to pay the entire tax balance immediately, so I need someone who can help me understand my actual liability and the options available for payment arrangements and, if applicable, penalty relief. What I Need Help With * Review all Florida Department of Revenue notices and determine exactly what is required * Identify all missing Florida sales tax returns * Reconcile my actual sales against any estimated tax assessments * Prepare and file all delinquent Florida sales tax returns * Review sales tax penalties and interest * Help determine whether I qualify for any penalty relief or abatement * Help me understand and establish a payment arrangement if I cannot pay the full balance immediately * Review my Florida sales tax account and make sure I am fully compliant going forward * Clean up and reconcile my business bookkeeping * Review my 2025 business financial records * Prepare/file my 2025 S-Corporation tax return * Assist with my 2025 personal federal income tax return * Review previous IRS correspondence, including a notice regarding an approximately $500 IRS credit * Help identify any other outstanding tax obligations or filings * Establish a simple process so I can stay current with sales tax, bookkeeping, and tax filings moving forward Business & Financial Records My business has used multiple payment methods and platforms, including: * Business bank accounts * Personal bank accounts for some business transactions * Zelle * JIM payment processing * Square * Cash * Other payment methods I can provide bank statements, payment processor reports, sales records, purchase invoices, inventory records, expense records, previous tax returns, IRS notices, Florida DOR notices, and other supporting documentation. I also have records related to inventory and cost of goods sold, including phone purchases, parts, LCDs/screens, accessories, and vendor purchases. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate will have significant experience with: * Florida Department of Revenue * Florida sales tax * Delinquent sales tax filings * Florida DOR notices and assessments * S-Corporations * Federal business and individual tax returns * Bookkeeping cleanup and reconciliation * Multiple payment processors * Tax payment plans * Tax penalty abatement/relief * Small businesses in the retail, repair, or electronics industry A CPA or Enrolled Agent with experience dealing directly with the Florida Department of Revenue is strongly preferred. Important This is an urgent situation. I have a time-sensitive Florida DOR matter and need someone who can begin immediately. I am looking for someone who can help me actually resolve the underlying issues and become compliant, not simply enter numbers into tax software and file a return. Please include in your proposal: 1. Your credentials (CPA, EA, tax attorney, etc.) 2. Your experience with Florida DOR and delinquent sales tax 3. Your experience with S-Corporations 4. Whether you have handled tax payment arrangements or penalty relief 5. Your availability to start immediately 6. Your estimated timeline 7. Your pricing or estimated project cost I am open to starting with an initial paid consultation or review of my DOR notices and then proceeding with the full cleanup and filing work. I am looking for someone trustworthy, responsive, experienced, and capable of helping me get this resolved properly and stay compliant going forward.
