DISCOVER OUR EXPERTISE

Self-Employed

For those who are self-employed, the tax landscape includes not just the income tax but also the self-employment tax, which is a combination of Social Security and Medicare taxes. Tax consultancies guide these individuals through deductions such as home office expenses, vehicle usage, supplies, equipment, and potentially retirement plan contributions. We help clients understand how to maintain proper records, allocate expenses between personal and business use, and make estimated tax payments to avoid underpayment penalties. Additionally, we may advise on business structure to potentially reduce tax liability and navigate self-employment tax credits.

Rental Property

Real estate taxation is a complex area that requires careful financial planning and record-keeping. Tax professionals would assist property owners in understanding the implications of passive activity losses, the real estate professional status, and the 199A deduction for qualified business income. We also help in calculating depreciation on the property, which can be a significant deduction, and advise on the tax impact of selling rental properties, including the potential use of 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains taxes.

K1 / Partnership Income

The role of a tax consultancy in handling K-1 forms is to ensure accurate reporting of income, deductions, and credits from pass-through entities to the individual partners' or shareholders' tax returns. We assist in determining the basis of the partnership or S corporation, which affects the taxation of distributions and the ability to deduct losses. We also help reconcile differences between book income and taxable income, handle any state tax filing requirements that arise from multi-state operations, and advise on the implications of partnership agreements on tax liability.

Stock / Equity / Crypto

With investments in stocks, equities, and cryptocurrencies, tax consultancies offer strategic advice on managing capital gains and losses, including tax-loss harvesting strategies where losing investments are sold to offset gains. For cryptocurrencies, we can provide guidance on tracking the basis of each coin or token, hard forks, airdrops, and the taxation of mining or staking activities. We would also navigate the complexities of wash sale rules for stocks and the unique challenges posed by the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency tax regulations.

International Terms

For U.S. expatriates or those with international financial interests, tax consultancies provide a critical service in managing the intricacies of global taxation. This includes advising on the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, which allows qualifying taxpayers to exclude a portion of their foreign earnings from U.S. tax, and the Foreign Tax Credit, which prevents double taxation. We also assist with the reporting requirements for foreign bank accounts (FBAR) and foreign assets (FATCA), and we help to understand the tax treaties that may affect the taxpayer's situation, ensuring compliance with the IRS while minimizing global tax liability.
