Yes! Every business is required to file a tax return every year. If your business does not file a business tax return, your business might be subject to penalties.
Even if you've missed filing one in the past or have past inaccurate filings, our team of skilled Certified Public Accountants will help you through these obstacles to get your business back on track.
Accounting is not easy. Filing a business tax return in particular can become very complicated with legal rules and regulations issued by the IRS. These tax rules and regulations are always changing, meaning your accountant needs to be someone who is up to date on current tax laws. Tax accountants who are not certified are not held to the standard of continuing education and training, making an under qualified team too risky a choice. We always hold ourselves to the highest standard to ensure your business’s success.
You can depend on us. Call today and let’s discuss how we can help!
Tax season is already overwhelming for most people, especially if you’re trying to do it on your own with a self-service software. But what if you have a new dependent, are filing jointly for the first time, or received a tax form from your workplace that you don’t even recognize? These questions are exactly the reason you should be entrusting your personal tax returns to professional CPAs. Our qualified team can help you make sense of ever-changing tax laws, save money, and promptly file your return with the IRS and applicable states.
What are Individual Tax Returns?
At the end of each year, taxpayers must submit forms to report their taxable income to the IRS. Whether single or married, an individual who earned a certain amount of income will need to file a version of the IRS form 1040.
The most common form filed by single and married taxpayers is the two page 1040. This is the form where you will list your marital status and your dependents along with any of the income from the following sources:
Wages
Tips
Capital Gains
Dividends
Interest
Unemployment Compensation
Pensions
Annuities
Social Security
Railroad Retirement
Taxable Scholarships
Our CPAs will walk with you every step of the way to make sure your income data is accurate and that you understand your tax situation.
Our accounting firm is qualified to help you file for an extension if needed. Form 4868 is an IRS form for individuals or married couples who need an extended period of time to file their taxes. Tax extensions are common and the earlier you get in touch with a tax professional the better.
