990-EZ Help

[GnarHoff]

I'm working on a form 990-EZ and need help with 4 lines matching up. I need line 19 to match up with line 27 column A, and line 21 to match up with line 27 column B. I cannot seem to figure out what I am missing.

Now, the business I am doing it for did purchase a new vehicle in 08'. On 09's return line 27 column B read $3,679. I know that that number has to match up with line 19 on 2010's return, but anyway I figure the numbers, I am always getting a higher number. Same with line 21. It needs to be $19,496, but line 27 is $4,109.

If you need more information, please let me know, and I will try to provide as much information as possible. Thank you.

Have you check to see if the financial statements retained earning=net assets match the 2009 tax return? Don't be surprised to find out they don't match, that is the first thing I check. Clients sometimes void cleared checks, enter checks in the wrong year or enter crazy journal entries that affect prior year retained earnings.
