Have a Question?

The question of how to structure a business is one of the most common questions we get, also one of the most nuanced because the answer depends on so many variables. Contact us today for more info.

The question too complicated for a one or two sentence answer but if brief, LLC is a type of business registration recognized by your county and State. An S Corp is a filing classification recognized by the IRS. This is grossly simplified, but it shows the main difference.

No accountant nor financial planner can definitively answer this question, but the type of your business, the revenue you generate or plan to generate, the number of employees you have, and what retirement plan you intend to utilize can all effect how you manage your business. Not to mention the day to day operations of the business itself. In other words, the answer to this question can only be gleaned from a 360 degree knowledge of your business. Contact us today for business start up advice.

The IRS has claimed there will be more scrutiny put towards those that receive income through third-party transaction networks, like Venmo and Paypal. Though they have since backed off a little bit. Either way. just like when you use personal funds to pay for business expenses, take extra care in recording these, because the IRS is slowly catching up to the financial technology of our day.

In short, yes. The accounting software costs money, yes, and there’s a learning curve to the program. But once you get the basics, it’s a great platform not only for the business owner, but also for your accountant and tax professional; they make the interface between business owner and accountant streamlined, saving everyone time an money in the end.

There is no set hourly rate for consulting. This is mostly because many of our business customers are also tax customers, and when this is the case, we like to work with our customers one on one to develop a strategy and price point that is mutually beneficial to both. Contact us to discuss a reasonable rate for you and your business.

What our clients are saying

“I highly recommend Tahoe Truckee Tax for all your accounting and tax needs. He's quick to respond, knowledgeable & professional. He broke things down and explained them in a way that is easily understood.”

“I have done my taxes on my own for the last 10+ years. I moved to Reno in March and since I had moving expenses and such, decided to go with a Tax Professional. They got me back a great refund and is very prompt & professional in his responses. Not to mention they charge about half of what other tax professionals charge in the area. They were able to explain all the write off's very well (whether I got them or not) and they are very knowledgeable and fast! I got my tax return back in about a week.”
