Most people think tax preparation and tax planning are the same thing. While they go hand-in-hand, they are really two very different services.

Tax return preparation is the reporting of historical data to the appropriate governmental agency annually.  Tax planning utilizes tax laws and various tools provided through the Internal Revenue Code.  These laws can be very complex but valuable in terms of saving your hard earned money.

As an Enrolled Agent, I specialize in taxation and can ensure compliant and timely filing of your taxes as well as present tax savings strategies to help you achieve your financial goals.

Many individuals have 'hobby' or 'side' businesses which earn money.  Rental properties, construction and carpentry services, computer consulting, outsourced office administration, retail online stores (like eBay) are some examples. 

Even if you only earn a small amount of money, factors can come into play such as sales tax, personal property taxes, outside contractors, investment property vs. business property, and other tax issues can affect your profitability and tax obligations.   

Whether a full-time business or a hobby that earns money, I can make your situation LESS taxing!  Give me a call and put my expertise to work for you.

Do you know the difference between an Enrolled Agent and other Tax professionals?

Only an Enrolled Agent is required to demonstrate to the Internal Revenue Service their competence in matters of taxation before they may represent a taxpayer before the IRS.

Unlike attorneys and CPAs, who may or may not choose to specialize in taxes, all EAs specialize in taxation.

EAs are the only taxpayer representatives who receive their right to practice from the United States government.

(CPAs and attorneys are licensed by the States)
