FAQs
Real answers to common questions about my services
What services do you provide?
My services are focused around all things tax, excluding payroll. I want to be your trusted in-house tax partner to ensure compliance and recommend ways to save money and time.
What kind of income tax returns do you prepare?
I will prepare your Form 1040 (Individual Schedule-C), 1120-S (S-Corp), 1065 (Partnership), 1120 (C-Corp), and 1120-C (Co-op) returns.
Can you represent me if I get an IRS notice?
My license as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) enables me to represent you.
Do you manage Payroll?
While I can certainly offer guidance and direction regarding payroll, my practice is not set up for ongoing management unless specific issues arise. For routine payroll management, you will find an online service offers greater expertise and more competitive pricing, which would be a better investment for your money.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes, this is the clientele I am specializing in. I service from small individual side-gigs, to more established small businesses with multiple employees.
Do you handle multi-state returns?
Yes, and I have experience looking at various state laws and properly determing nexus for either your income or sales and use tax.
Do you offer bookkeeping?
I offer a nuanced approach to bookkeeping.
If you don't currently have a system, I act as your guide. I can connect you to a reputable and cost-effective bookkeeping firm that offers excellent expertise.
If you already have bookkeeping in place, I will thoroughly review your existing processes and systems. My goal is to ensure full compliance for tax purposes and to provide you with valuable financial analysis.

No, I only accept electronically delivered documents through a secure portal.
Why do I need sales & use tax services when it is already done in my sales software?
I provide more assurance and can check for any mistakes your software is making. Unless you are selling one type of product or service, there is a lot of risk for invoices not being taxes properly. If you do not know the state rules, this create be a potential liability that may be an expensive problem to fix down the line.
What's the big deal with sales & use tax?
This is an area that has become increasingly complex that can become a huge liability for even small businesses. A recent case, South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. (2018), made e-commerce sales much more complicated as no longer are you only required to remit tax in your business's resident state. Not only that, but each state has different rules on different products and services.
What states are you mist familiar with?
Currently, the Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee region is where I am the most familiar with. However, I am able to research and advise on other state tax matters if necessary.
Are you able to represent me in a court of law?
No, as I am not a licensed attorney. If there are any issues that are beyond the simple reading and interpreting of tax law, I will refer you to a tax attorney.
