Tax Preparation

Individual Tax Preparation

Thorough and accurate tax service either in person or 100% digital. Our preparers are located in one of our three locations, but you do not have to be when you utilize our fully digital process. We understand the complexities of filing taxes and offer expert guidance tailored to your unique financial situation. From organizing income and expense records to calculating quarterly estimates and recalculating 4th quarter figures, we ensure meticulous attention to detail for a stress-free tax season experience.

Corporate tax preparation

At our CPA firm, we specialize in guiding businesses through the complexities of tax structures. A C corporation (C corp) provides a separate legal entity from its owners or shareholders, and it’s required to make quarterly estimated payments based on income received throughout the year. An S corporation (S corp) offers advantages for those seeking to avoid public exposure or attracting institutional investors. With a limited number of shareholders, one class of stock, and a single level of taxation, S corps offer simplicity and tax benefits.

For S corp owners, determining reasonable market compensation can be challenging due to varying state rules and industry standards. Our CPAs provide expert guidance on best practices for establishing reasonable compensation, ensuring compliance and optimizing tax filings. With streamlined tax processes and favorable tax benefits, S corps are an ideal choice for lifestyle businesses aiming to maintain a preferred income level with minimal overhead.

We also offer our clients CFO advisory to help you reach your organizational goals.

Partnership Tax Preparation

Our firm assists businesses in navigating the intricacies of partnership structures. Partnerships allow partners to share resources and expertise as well as profits and liabilities. Unlike corporations, partnerships are pass-through entities, meaning profits flow directly to partners and are reported on their individual
tax returns, simplifying tax obligations.

With partnerships, income allocation can be customized based on the terms outlined in the partnership agreement, providing flexibility to distribute profits or expenses non-proportionally among partners.
Additionally, partners are responsible for making estimated tax payments throughout the year to cover income, self-employment, and alternative minimum taxes. Whether opting for tax withholding or making estimated payments, our team ensures compliance and efficiency in managing tax obligations for partners.
