Most people dread dealing with the IRS. We don’t. Whether you’re filing for the first time, running payroll for a small business, or trying to make sense of a letter that showed up in the mail, we’ve probably handled it before.

We prepare returns for individuals and for businesses of every type: sole proprietors, LLCs, S-corps, and corporations. We’re IRS registered, with over 15 years of experience and clients in Illinois and around the country.

What’s included

All tax services we provide

Personal & Business Income Tax Returns

Federal and state returns for individuals and every kind of business: corporations, LLCs, S-corps, and sole proprietors. Done right the first time.

IRS Offer in Compromise (OIC)

If you owe more than you can pay, an Offer in Compromise may let you settle for less. We check whether you actually qualify, prepare the application, and handle the back-and-forth with the IRS.

IRS Notices, Bills & Collections

Got a letter from the IRS? We figure out what it really means, respond for you, and set up a payment plan if you need one. You don’t have to face collections by yourself.

Audit Support & Representation

If you’re being audited, we get your documents in order and work directly with the examiner. We handle the paperwork and the conversations so you’re not in it alone.

Payroll Tax Filings

Quarterly and annual payroll tax filings, kept on schedule. Our payroll service also runs up to 50% less than the big providers.

Local, State & Sales Tax Filings

Illinois state taxes, local filings, and sales tax returns. We make sure you’re covered at every level, not just federal.

ITIN Applications & Renewals

We prepare and submit ITIN applications and renewals for people who aren’t eligible for a Social Security number.

W-2 & 1099-NEC Preparation

W-2s for your employees and 1099-NEC forms for your contractors, prepared and filed before the deadline.

Tax Benefits Review & Optimization

We go through your situation to find deductions and credits you might be missing, so you’re not paying more than you owe.

Profit & Loss Statements

P&L statements for whatever you need them for: taxes, a lender, planning, or your own review.

Financial Statements (Compiled)

Compiled financial statements for internal use, whether that’s your own review, planning, or handing to an advisor.
