The very first reporting form to be competed was the Florida Unemployment Tax. The form was completed on the last minute of the mailing date. Within weeks, we were notified by the state the form filed was lacking/incomplete information. A penalty was assessed. Upon receipt of the penalty, I immediately returned to their office and confronted Mr. Selwyn Dusheiko. He reviewed the form as submitted and admitted that the form was incomplete. He asked and received a couple of days to attempt to contact the department to obtain a “professional courtesy dismissal of the penalty.” I assume it was not granted. Pinnacle Account then issued a check directly to the department check # 1840. On April 28, 2012, we received a delinquent notice that the penalty had not been paid. On April 28, 2012, we contacted Pinnacle Accounting and requested a copy of the check. The young lady (Anetia) stated she was to busy at that time to look up and print a copy of the check. I returned later that afternoon as she was closing the office (3:30pm) and was told again she was too busy and at sometime and point she would obtain it. I contacted her again the following late afternoon to no avail. Throughout the following week, we continued to contact her and or left a phone message. When she elected to answer the phone, we were advised she still hadn’t had found the time. It has now become very apparent that after issuing the check, Pinnacle Accounting elected not to honor their error by issuing (which I witnessed) but failed to mail the check to the state which now may cause my business to incur additional penalties. \r
