Why Hire a Professional for Tax Preparation?
Keeping up with all the different tax regulations and remaining compliant with the IRS takes valuable time away from your business. The strain of trying to manage everything at once could result in errors that cost your business dearly.
Fortunately, a tax expert can make a world of difference. You only need to provide the information, and we organize and prepare your return for you. Since we continuously stay up to date with new tax laws, we know exactly what to look for when filing and what forms and items you need. Help from a professional minimizes the chance of errors and frees your time to invest in running your business.
Choosing the Correct Tax Forms
Tax filing today is incredibly complex, and even organizing the information you need takes time. It can also be challenging to know which forms you should be filing, and what qualifies as taxable income. Failing to report something that should be taxed can land you in trouble with the IRS.
Having a tax expert to help you organize, prepare, and file your taxes eliminates all of these difficulties. Our experience with individual tax preparation allows us to review your finances and determine precisely what needs to be filed and how. Not only will your taxes be more accurate, but we'll handle all the heavy lifting, so you don't have to be stressed this tax season.
Some of the tax preparation forms we can assist with include:
Federal Tax Returns: Individual taxpayers use Form 1040 to report income from salary, wages, capital gains, and other types of income. Businesses can use Form 1040 (Schedule C, E, or F), 1065, 1120, the 1120S, and others, depending on the entity type. Additional forms are needed for business expenses, depreciation, and amortization.
State Tax Returns: State taxes apply a percentage rate to your adjusted gross income as reported on your federal return. Rates vary considerably, as well as the type of income that is taxable. Not all states collect income tax, but all calculate some form of levy, such a use or sales tax.
Trust Returns: The personal representative or executor of an estate must file Form 1041 and pay taxes at the state and federal level. State tax amounts will depend on residency, and each state has its own definition of what qualifies as a resident trust.
Gift Tax Returns: For gifts above $15,000, you will need to file IRS Form 709, even if you don't end up paying any tax.
Non-Resident Tax Returns: Form 1040-NR-EZ is the required form for income earned in a state where you are not a resident. No matter where you live, we can help calculate and file the correct forms.
Self-Employment Tax: An IRS Schedule C calculates your earnings and how much money you owe. The rate you pay is the sum of the Social Security tax and Medicare tax.
