Patricia can help with:

  • Tax Planning

    Work with a tax pro to build a tax strategy that fits your unique situation and financial goals.

  • Multi-state income

    This usually happens when tax payers work across state lines or have lived in multiple states in a tax year.

  • Foreign Income

    Foreign income sources like wages, interest from a bank account, payouts on a stock, or rental income are all taxable in the U.S.

  • Small Business Advanced Certified

    Proprietorships, C corps, and S corps all file yearly taxes, but the forms used to file depend on the way the business is set up.

  • Estates and Trusts

    The estate tax involves the right to transfer property at one’s death. A trust allows a third party to hold assets on behalf of a beneficiary or beneficiaries, with various tax rules for income.

  • Rental Income

    Rental income is taxed at standard income tax rates, but you can also deduct the costs of buying and improving a rental property.

  • Investments

    Investment income can include buying low/selling high, stocks and bonds, and capital losses.

  • Charitable giving

    Donations made to qualified charities can be deducted to reduce taxable income.

  • Retirement

    Retirement income, pensions, and annuities can change the way you file your taxes.

  • Loss from disasters

    If a disaster loss is not reimbursed by insurance or other means, you can deduct it on your taxes.

  • Clergy

    Clergy have dual tax status as both employees and self-employed individuals. Since a church does not withhold taxes, clergy are responsible for paying taxes as self-employed people.

  • Audits or IRS/state notices

    This includes tax audits and notices from the IRS that say there’s an unpaid balance or issue with your return.

  • Military

    Members of the U.S. Armed Forces have special tax situations and benefits based on things like disability status and combat service.

  • Farming income

    This is affected by sales of crops and livestock, rental income from land, and farm equipment depreciation.
