Tax Services

Tax Planning and Return Preparation

  • Individuals – Your individual/personal income tax return is prepared on Form 1040 along with all of the required schedules, forms and statements and e-filed directly with IRS after your review and authorization. The goal is for you to pay the least and correct amount of tax required by law. We help you organize your documents and records if necessary. Every January, continuing clients receive a tax organizer which assists in this process. All of your documents and records are returned to you along with a signed copy of your income tax return.
  • Businesses – Services include the preparation of business tax returns of all types including:
    • S Corporations – Form 1120S
    • Multi-Member LLCs and Partnerships – Form 1065
    • Single-Member LLCs and Sole Proprietorships – Schedule C
    • C Corporations – Form 1120

Accounting services are provided as needed to properly adjust your accounts for an accurate income tax return resulting in the least amount of tax. Most clients use Quickbooks™ for the business accounting or we can provide this as an additional service.

  • Estates & Trusts – Estates and Trusts are required to file annual income tax returns on Form 1041. Assistance is provided in determining the filing requirements, identifying income to report, deductions to claim and the necessary reporting to heirs and beneficiaries.
  • States – We prepare state income tax returns for any state required. Individuals require part-year resident returns when they move into or out of a state that has a personal income tax. A non-resident income tax return is required in any year you have source income in a state with an income tax. This occurs most often from your ownership of a business interest or rental property in a state with an income tax. The business interest can result from a partnership or other pass-through entity you acquired in an investment account through an investment advisor or brokerage firm.
  • Tax Planning – The goal of tax planning is to estimate your current and future year taxes before the year is completed. You then have the opportunity to take action to minimize the current and future year taxes through planning.
