The worst tax filing experience of my life. I had used H&R Block or my local CPA for years, then decided to try Tolkan at the advise of a friend. Some friend. It took them 4 weeks to file my return, which they said was basic and should be done quickly. No chance. After submitting all my info, several weeks went by and I didnt hear from them. I contacted them and was only able to speak with Jennifer, the office assistant. She never had answers and basically treated me as though I had no business calling about the status of my return. The CPA, Nancy, ignored my phone calls and emails for weeks. Finally they called me and told me my return was done and charged me twice as much as any CPA I had used in the past. If you want your tax return done in a reasonable amount of time and at a reasonable cost, this is the last place you should take your business; a mistake I won't make twice. ...read more
What is California use tax? California use tax is thecompanion to California's sales tax. When a purchase is made outside the State, including on-line, and the vendor does not collect sales tax, "use tax" is due. Use tax taxes the "storage or consumption of personal property in California"(California Use Tax Information, boe.ca.gov). Regardless of whether a vendor collects sales tax on a taxable transaction or not, does not relieve you of the liability to pay it. For example, if a dentist office purchases supplies from a retailer in Illinois, which has no presence in California, that Illinois vendor will not charge the California dentist's office sales tax on their order. However, the dentist office is still liable for the tax and needs to report and pay it to the State of California as use tax. How is it reported and paid to the State? There are three methods for reporting and paying California use tax: If you have a California seller's permit, use tax is reported on your Sales&Use; Tax return. If you sell tangible personal property, you are required to hold a California seller's permit. It is due according to the filing periods established for your business by the State Board of Equalization (BOE). California state income tax returns include a line to report use tax. Only use tax for the same income tax year may be reported. It is due the same date as the state income tax return. Complete a BOE Use Tax Return, which is contained in Pub 79B and located athttp://www.boe.ca.gov/pdf/pub79b.pdf. It is due by January 31 of the year following the calendar year in which the purchase was made. Note: Use tax is the same rate as sales tax for your location What if I owe use tax for prior years? There is an In-State Voluntary Disclosure Program for those purchasers who are not required to hold a seller's permit, but have a use tax liability. More information on this program can be found at: http://www.boe.ca.gov/sutax/isvdprog.htm Please note that the BOE has recently launched a program to pursue collection of use tax. California businesses in the service industry are being contacted by the BOE and asked to report and pay any use tax liability incurred during the prior three years. The State believes that approximately $2 billion in use tax goes unpaid each year and they are aggressively pursuing this line of revenue. If you have any questions about use tax or need assistance with reporting, please contact Summit Bookkeeping at 831-246-1176 for direction. ...read more
