TAXES

Filing yearly and quarterly taxes can be insipid or esoteric for some individuals. There is the sine qua-non of concern if an individual has to pay taxes, how much, and what happens if they are not able to pay? These questions are reasons for choosing either, a storefront that closes after April 15, or one that will be available year-round.

What happens when you were so busy that you forgot to file your taxes? What happens when you rushed to file your taxes and you forgot a W-2, or you received an unexpected 1099 that was delivered after the fact?

What happens when you are a part year resident? Will the seasonal storefront tax preparer be there help you file your out of state taxes? These are just some of the challenges that clients can face, that we will resolve.

Commitment, Respect and Integrity (CRI) and the passion for research and problem solving make JBS the best choice to prepare your taxes.

SMALL BUSINESSES

When a person starts a business, that is his or her day of becoming an independent business enterprise, better known as an entrepreneur. It is a great feeling to be self-employed, but some of the down falls for the self-employed are not understanding the tax laws, in addition to what what taxes are due and when. For example, (a) the self-employment tax can be one of the problems for a new start-up venture, (b) if are you hiring an employee or an independent contractor what is the difference according to the IRS?, and (c) are your expenses deductible or will depreciation be the solution?

Sometimes it is challenging to calculate the correct quarterly taxes due for federal and state, which if not accurate, can lead to penalties and interest on the quarterly taxes. Your business organizational structure can also impact your taxes.

if you are a sole proprietor for example, the advantages and disadvantages of converting to a Partnership, Limited Liability Company (LLC), or Corporation and the IRS guidelines should be explored. Therefore, the question as to which form of business is most advantageous for my organization becomes a factor.

Tax laws are constantly changing as the average person conducts business, and some changes will impact the small business industry. Consequently, it would be advantageous for every business, regardless how small the business to have an accountant or bookkeeper, to work with the company to make sure that all federal and state guidelines are followed, and taxes are filed in a timely manner.

It is axiomatic to have a business in the right financial and tax position the first day, even before opening its doors, rather than wait until there is a problem at tax time. If there is uncertainty about the guidelines for a business, it is always best to check with an accountant in the beginning, who understands the needs of a small business and is willing to help the business succeed. It will save the business owner money, time and anguish in the end.
