We will thoroughly and conscientiously study your personal situation, and tailor our advice to your specific needs.

Audits and Audit Reviews

Our audit and audit review capabilities are a necessary part of our services. We understand that the IRS and some states request additional information to verify certain deductions taken on the tax returns. Some audits require nothing more than a simple letter or missing tax document. Other audits require more in depth paperwork and back up documentation. We strive to help you with this process while helping to reduce the stress that usually accompanies these situations. The must know understanding is that these situations can take anywhere from 3 months to 2 years to fix depending on the complexity and scope of the audit. Also we would like to stress that if you have received a letter of audit and have made payments within the past past two years for the IRS we would like to review this with you, sometimes there could be a refund due to you, the taxpayer. If the payment has been made to a state tax agency within the past year then we would also like to review this with you for the same reason.

Buying or Selling a Business

Few business decisions are more important, complex and potentially business altering than a buy or sell decision. When you are ready to sell your business, we can provide a few tax scenarios to prepare you for the tax consequences of this transaction. There are various options to help reduce the tax liability which must be implemented before the sale is complete. Such as Installment Sales, Like Kind Exchange/1031, or the traditional straight sale. If a buying opportunity presents itself, we can help by discussing the options in financing. If the property is rental in nature, then we could review the operation expenses with the potential rental income to confirm profitability along with the tax consequences.

Extension Filing

Many taxpayers don’t realize the advantage to filing a tax extension or how easy it is to do. This extension will give you an extra 6 months to gather missing information. Payments without penalty or interest are still due on April 15, but filing an extension will greatly reduce additional penalties and interest even when full payment is impossible to make. Don’t let the fear of not be able to file your taxes on time cause you to miss this extremely helpful and money saving option when it comes to additional penalties and interest if there is a balance due. There are also other reasons to always file extensions too.
