Estate & Trust Tax Preparation
Estate matters affect everyone. By taking proactive steps today, you can ease the way for your heirs during a very difficult time. Our services include estate planning to simplify property transfers to heirs, minimizing tax liability so heirs receive the maximum benefit, and tax preparation after a loved ones’ passing.
We will work with you and your attorney to structure your estate and/or trusts with an eye toward minimizing tax liability, smooth fulfillment of your bequeathal directives and, when possible, avoidance of the long process of probate. In the event that you wish to begin distributing assets to your heirs during your lifetime, we can also assist with IRS gift reporting requirements.
When a loved one passes away, we can prepare and file any required final tax returns for the decedent and any associated trusts. We lift the paperwork burden off your shoulders, so you can focus on the far more important matter of spending time with your family during a difficult transition.
IRS Representation
Whether you receive an audit notice or just a request for clarification about an item on your personal or business tax return, the thought of facing the IRS by yourself can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, many tax preparers are not prepared to represent you before the IRS. If a problem arises with a return they filed for you, you might be left on your own to resolve the issue.
We will advocate on your behalf and help you and your staff assemble any documentation that IRS agents might request, so that you are never fending for yourself.
By drawing upon years of experience handling audit procedures and tax rules, we can take the stress out of working with IRS agents, and ensure that your rights as a taxpayer are protected and that you pay the minimum allowed by law.
Sales Tax Services
Online sales tax collection, complying with state and local sales tax rules is more important and complex than ever. With regulations varying by state and even from one municipality to the next, sales tax compliance can quickly grow extremely complex, even for a small company with one location.
We will help you understand and meet all of your sales tax obligations, including calculating use taxes (if applicable) and filing timely and accurate returns. We can also help you determine whether changes in your operations might increase or decrease your sales tax liability.
Sales and use taxes are a primary revenue source for many states, counties, and cities, so government revenue departments strive to maximize collections. Working with an experienced sales tax partner helps ensure that you neither underpay nor overpay.
Tax Preparation & Planning
Effective tax preparation and planning can help you to minimize your future tax liability. Taxes may be a certainty in life, but worrying about them doesn’t have to be. For individuals, we can save you time, money and stress by preparing and filing your returns, while claiming every allowable deduction and credit. For businesses, we can help by minimizing your tax liability, while ensuring that you stay in compliance with all federal, state and local regulations.
Accurate and timely filing of returns is only the beginning of an effective tax strategy, however. Every personal or business financial decision, from buying a house to selling investment holdings, from expanding staff to replacing aging equipment, can have significant tax implications. Successful tax planning rests on understanding all of these impacts before the decision is made, so that you can act at the most advantageous time. Let us show you how.
Our country’s ever-changing tax code places heavy burdens on both individuals and companies, but it also holds extraordinary opportunities if you know where to look. Our experts are here to guide you along the path from basic tax compliance to a strategy for long-term tax minimization.
