An LLC is a very common business legal entity structure, BUT it may not be the best legal entity structure for tax purposes. I can do much more than prepare your taxes.

Do you own rental property? DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE!
I have seen several instances this tax season where an individual is reporting rental income under an LLC that the LLC does not own.

If you own rental properties or a business, guess what?
All CPA’s and Tax Preparers are NOT alike…Many people think a tax return is a tax return. That’s just not true. I see it every day. Missed opportunities to maximize deductions.
