We will prepare your business and personal income tax returns to ensure they comply with federal, state and local laws to avoid costly penalties. Proactive tax planning will ensure maximum savings on your return.

Why Should RBA Prepare My Taxes?

In addition to preparing your taxes, we keep detailed records that ensure your return and documentation pass the highest standards of compliance.

We’ll make sure you get the maximum amount of deductions and credits. And we'll also provide you with additional steps you can take to pass an IRS audit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • You can deduct all “ordinary and necessary” business expenses, however, tax law stipulates which expenses are “ordinary and necessary” based on the type of business you operate. Many businesses have opportunities for deductions that do not apply to other types of businesses. Our tax experts can help maximize your deductions based on your unique business and situation.

  • The PTET election option allows certain pass-through entities to pay tax at the entity level, avoiding federal limitations. So far, we’ve seen savings range between $1,600 and $60,000 when this option is selected. The amount of savings can vary depending on your income and tax rate, so if you file as an S-corporation or a partnership, we strongly recommend scheduling an analysis with us.

  • Bonus depreciation has changed from 100% to 40%. This means that if you purchased a new asset such as medical equipment or a vehicle for your business, you can only deduct 40% of the total cost despite the fact that it is 100% for your business. A “Section 179” can help with this, although there are limitations to its deductions. Each business will need to be analyzed separately to account for these limitations.
