Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your questions related to small business tax services.

The best legal structure for minimizing taxes depends on your specific business needs and goals. Generally, S Corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are favored for their pass-through taxation, which allows income to be taxed at the individual level rather than the corporate level, potentially reducing overall tax liability. C Corporations may be advantageous for businesses planning to reinvest profits, as they benefit from a lower corporate tax rate on retained earnings. It’s essential to consult with a tax professional to evaluate your unique situation and determine the most tax-efficient structure for your business.

We assist with decisions like buying versus leasing equipment by analyzing the financial implications of each option. Our team evaluates factors such as tax deductions, cash flow impact, and overall costs. For example, purchasing equipment may allow you to take advantage of depreciation deductions, while leasing may offer lower upfront costs and potential tax benefits through lease payments. We provide tailored recommendations based on your business’s financial situation and long-term goals, helping you make informed choices that optimize tax liability and align with your operational needs.

With our assistance, your business can qualify for a range of deductions and credits, including operating expense deductions for rent, utilities, and salaries; depreciation deductions for assets like equipment and property; and home office deductions for businesses operating from home. Additionally, we can help you claim deductions for start-up costs and various tax credits, such as the Research & Development (R&D) tax credit, Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), and energy efficiency credits. Our goal is to identify and maximize these opportunities to reduce your tax liability while ensuring compliance with tax laws.

To stay ahead of tax changes and effectively plan, it’s recommended to meet with us quarterly or biannually. These regular meetings allow us to review your financial situation, discuss any changes in tax laws, and adjust your tax strategies accordingly. Additionally, we can help identify opportunities for deductions and credits, ensuring you remain informed and proactive in your tax planning throughout the year.
