Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between preparation and planning?
Preparation reports transactions that already happened. Planning looks ahead while timing, structure, contributions, and other choices may still be available.
When should I bring in an IRS notice?
As soon as you receive it. Keep the envelope and every page, note the response deadline, and avoid agreeing to changes before the notice is reviewed.
Do you prepare both individual and business returns?
Yes. The firm serves individuals and small businesses and can coordinate issues that cross between an owner and the business.
