Smithtown and Charleston Tax Services for Small Businesses and Individuals

Tax laws and tax forms can be complex. As business and personal financial challenges increase, tax preparation and planning challenges grow exponentially in return.

A tax service relationship with Ross & Company gives you year-round access to answers for your tax questions, planning for specific transactions, or resolving tax problems. We’ll discuss what changes have taken place in your business or personal life to understand how those changes impact your tax liabilities. We are full-time business service provider in Smithtown and Charleston, not just seasonal tax return preparers; we’ll be there when you need us.

Business Tax Services

Ross & Company CPAs serves clients in a variety of industries, including professional services, insurance brokers and agents, and real estate entities. Our tax services are specifically designed to support businesses by combining our subject-matter expertise and business acumen with a passion for client relationships and service.  

Tax Return Preparation. There are many moving parts in your business and almost any decision you make has a tax implication. Our business tax return specialists apply their knowledge and experience with current tax laws to prepare tax returns that accurately capture those decisions, identify elections and deductions, and legally minimize your business’ tax liability.

Tax Planning Strategies. Working collaboratively and proactively, we can help you determine the best tax strategies to achieve your business goals. We help you plan your quarterly estimated tax payments to closely match your annual tax liability, avoiding significant payments at the end of the year. Tax planning also has an impact in dealing with health care reform requirements, capitalization versus expense treatment for tangible property, depreciation of real estate and business equipment, and compensation strategies for company executives.

Specific Tax Problems. As providers of full-time business services, we have tax expertise and business knowledge to help you plan and implement strategies to accomplish your business goals. Whether it’s determining the best tax structure for a specific activity, or preparing a valuation discount to legally minimize gift or estate taxes in a business transfer, we have the tools and the skills at applying those tools to help you succeed.

Personal Tax Services

Tax rules require all paid tax preparers to be registered with the IRS, but that does not mean that all tax preparers have the same credentials. Ross & Company CPAs are bound by a set of professional ethics guidelines and training requirements.  

- We are often able to make valuable tax savings suggestions that an off-the-shelf software program can't anticipate. The value of that advice alone can easily offset the additional cost of consulting with a professional. When you consider the monetary value on your time, preparing your own tax return typically costs more than our services.

- We help you consider all the tax planning options to minimize the tax impact of infrequent transactions such as buying or selling real estate, exercising stock options, or receiving an inheritance.

Tax Services for Estates and Trusts. We offer tax return preparation and planning services that address the unique requirements of estates and trusts. These services range from assisting in developing estate plans, implementing those plans, and preparing the necessary tax filings. We bring our experience to develop opportunities that may save a significant amount of tax for your estate.
