Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I know if I’m staying compliant with all tax requirements?
We monitor tax law updates and use tracking systems to help ensure timely filings and proper documentation. This allows us to identify and resolve compliance gaps before they become issues.
What’s the difference between tax preparation and tax planning?
Tax preparation involves gathering and filing your return based on prior activity, while tax planning is forward-looking—it helps reduce future tax liability through informed decisions throughout the year. We offer both services so they work together effectively.
I missed a tax deadline—what happens now?
Late filings may result in penalties or interest, but we can help address them. We assist with filing past-due returns and communicating with tax agencies to resolve outstanding issues.
Do I need to file sales tax even if I’m a small business?
Yes, if your business sells taxable goods or services, sales tax filings are likely required—even for small or online businesses. We help determine your obligations and handle the filings for you.
How are estate and trust tax filings different from individual returns?
Estate and trust returns have distinct filing requirements, timelines, and tax treatments. We’re experienced in preparing these specialized returns and can guide you through what documents are needed.
When should I start thinking about next year’s taxes?
It’s best to start planning now. Mid-year reviews allow us to evaluate your current financial picture, estimate future liabilities, and make strategic recommendations before year-end.
What records should I keep for tax purposes, and for how long?
We typically recommend keeping income, deduction, and credit documentation for at least three years. For certain cases, like asset sales or back filings, longer retention may be necessary. We help you organize and maintain the records you’ll need.
