BILUNG 1) Currently George Delson bills a retainer of 10,000 a month or 120,000 per annum to you personally. He then attempts to bill another 130.000 in lumps of 60.000 and 70,000 per his understanding of a 250,000 annual agreement. (see attached billing history) 2) Open billing items for your meeting with Larry Delson: a) 65,000 they attempted to bill FTC per 250,000 annual agreement which relates to tax year 2010. b) March 2012 monthly retainer (to date we have paid $20,000) For 2011 tax year at this point their work has only been 1099's filed for 4 entities and approximately 20 tax return extensions due March 15. c) We currently have 250.000 (paid 6/112007) on your personal JEE balance sheet coded as George Delson - Escrow. We never expensed which I assume George never picked up as income. How should we handle? 3) Alan Dlugash will bill us quarterly (January, April, July & October) based on hourly rates. Rates from initial meeting (which I need to confirm) are as follows: Alan - Partner $550 per hour Manager - $300-350 per hour Lower Level $150 per hour 4) I project that Alan's cost should be between $125.000 - $150,000 per annum. We should talk about which entities he will bill to ensure we maximize dedcution for accounting fees QUESTIONS / ISSUES 1) David Mitchell Investments - NYS Tax Filing requirements a) Current condo project - Lofts 21 - Are we required to file NYS & NYC Tax Returns based on NY Real Property Investment? b) Potential Investment - 183 Columbia Heights -Are we required to file NYS & NYC Tax Returns based on NY Real Property Investment?
