Code Section 199A allows US taxpayers the ability to write off up to 20% of their self-employment income. Also known as QBI, this deduction is one of the best tax laws for reduction of self-employed income tax. If your business entity was created in the United States but has operations overseas it is possible to get the 199A deduction for your income. This can be a complicated issue and we take it on a case by case basis. If your business does not qualify let us help you find a way to structure the business so that the 199A deductions is available to you.

The IRS has a streamlined Offshore Filing procedure that will grant you amnesty. This program requires that you file the last 3 years tax returns and last 6 years FBAR reports. The IRS will allow you to file these returns with additional information and they will not look back at older tax years. The IRS will also not charge you any fines or penalties. However, you must stay in compliance with future tax filings. This amnesty program is complicated and we recommend using a tax professional to qualify for the program.

Form W-9 is used to provide your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to a person who must issue you a 1099 for example income paid to you, Real estate transactions, Mortgage interest you paid. W-9s are typically requested from US Citizens involved in financial transactions, banking, or other forms of monetary transfers. The most common time you will be asked to provide a W-9 is when you are working as an independent contractor.

A W2 is a year-end statement that tallies up your income, tax withholdings, and other employment benefits. Tax preparers use this form to compute your income and list income taxes withheld by your employer. Highly compensated people with more then one W2 often get a credit for excess social security paid. W2s are required to be in the tax preparers position when E-filing a tax return. A 1099 Misc is like a W2 for a person that worked as an independent contractor. It has no taxes withheld and only lists the total income. It is important to note that the IRS gets copies of all 1099s and W2s and matches them to the taxes you file. Make sure you supply all these forms to your tax preparer.

We have an encrypted information vault. You upload your tax documents to this vault that only you and your tax preparer have access to. You will also complete an information questionnaire, so we know what to expect from you when we do your taxes. I recommend you upload your prior two years taxes, into the vault, so that the tax preparer can ensure that you paid as little tax as possible in prior years and can also look for carry over items. These are things on your taxes that happened in a prior year but affect the current year filings. When we complete your taxes we will place them in your information vault so that you always have a copy of them. You may also use this vault for other items you wish to keep secure like wills and trust documents.

You can pay one of two ways. You can simply pay on our website when you compute how much your taxes should cost using our easy tax fee calculator. If additional work is needed we will simply have you pay the difference, if less work is needed we will promptly refund the money to your credit card.
