Tax Preparation & Planning

Find every legitimate opportunity — for this year and the next three.

Preparation done under the direction of an Enrolled Agent, paired with the kind of planning that turns next April's number into a decision you already made.

Preparation

The returns we prepare.

Individual Returns

Federal and state 1040s including credits, deductions, retirement, education, healthcare, investment, and rental activity.

Small-Business Returns

Schedule C, single-member LLC, partnership (1065), S corporation (1120-S), and C corporation (1120) filings.

Estate, Gift & Trust

Federal estate (706), gift (709), and fiduciary (1041) returns coordinated with your attorney and beneficiaries.

Multistate & Out-of-State

Residency, part-year, and nonresident filings — including moves between California and Florida and remote-work situations.

Payroll & Sales-Tax Reporting

Quarterly and annual filings for small businesses, coordinated with your bookkeeping.

Amended Returns

Reviewing prior-year filings for missed deductions, credits, or errors and filing corrections when warranted.

Planning

Decide it now. File it later.

Every engagement includes a planning conversation for the year ahead. Not because every review produces savings — but because knowing the shape of the next return is worth having before December.
