State of California Out of Money:
State Controller John Chiang announced today that he will delay paying tax refunds for at least 30 days. 
With no money in the State's General fund for the past 17 months, the state has been paying its bills by borrowing internally from special funds and from Wall Street. The Controller estimates those funds will soon be exhausted and the State will be at least $346 million short in February.
"Delaying these payments will get us through the next few months, but it will not solve the problem," according to the Controller. If no corrective action is taken by the Governor and Legislature, the Controller may have to extend delays in payments or issue IOUs.
1099's Due February 2nd, 2009:
If you own a business and pay someone or a company for services over $600 for 2008, you are required to provide a 1099-MISC form. Do not include any payments for materials.
You can get FREE 1099 forms from the IRS by calling them at 800-829-3676.
Or, if you would rather delegate the task, call Admin Books at 408-782-9640.
Gearing Up For A Tax Return: It's no secret. It comes every year. How things go depends upon how well you've prepared. If you are a business owner, your books are something you cannot ignore. Yet some, feel like it's the dark monster in the closet. If you file an individual return, you hope and pray you do not owe any money come April 15th. (or March 15th for corporations!)
Having your return prepared does not have to be a doom & gloom experience. When you work with Admin Books, it is our goal to walk you though the process so that you have peace of mind because you understand your return.
Call today to have a Tax Organizer mailed out to you and to set an appointment. We look forward to helping you.
