  • C-Corporations are subject to taxation at the corporate level as well as on the individual level, whereas S-Corporations, much like partnerships and sole proprietorships, are only taxed on the individual level.

  • A partnership is a business structure where two or more individuals share ownership. The business itself doesn’t pay taxes; instead, its income is passed through to the partners, who report and pay taxes on their share of the earnings on their personal tax returns.

  • Absolutely! For existing clients with a current tax engagement letter on file, we automatically file an extension. If you are a new client, we will get you set up as a client, obtain a signed tax engagement letter to keep on file, and then we will proceed with filing an extension.

  • A Traditional IRA allows you to contribute pre-tax dollars, offering a tax deduction now, but your withdrawals in retirement are taxed as income. It also requires you to start taking withdrawals by age 73. In contrast, a Roth IRA is funded with after-tax dollars, so contributions aren’t deductible, but withdrawals in retirement are tax-free, and there are no required minimum distributions. The choice depends on whether you prefer tax benefits now or tax-free income later. The decision to use a Traditional, Roth, or combination of both is best addressed by a discussion with your CPA and financial advisory.

  • Consulting with an accountant can help you maximize deductions, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure compliance with ever-changing tax laws. Their expertise can save you time and money, especially if you have a complex financial situation. Plus, they offer personalized advice for future tax planning.

  • When working with new clients, we prefer to meet in person to review all paperwork together. After the initial meeting, you can choose how you'd like to proceed—whether dropping off documents, meeting in person again, virtually, or via conference call—we’re happy to accommodate your preference.

  • Our starting rate for "simple" individual tax returns is $750., but we charge by the hour as our cost is calculated based on the amount of time it takes our accountants to complete your work.

  • A tax engagement letter is a formal agreement between a client and an accountant that outlines the scope of services, responsibilities, and fees related to tax preparation. It sets clear expectations for both parties, helping to prevent misunderstandings and ensure compliance with legal and professional standards.
