Tax Audit
No one likes to be audited, but we can make it as painless as possible. Our team of tax experts who are familiar with the audit process and can help you navigate through it. We collect all the necessary documentation and evidence to support your case. We will also represent you during the audit, so you don’t have to face the IRS alone. Our goal is to minimize any potential penalties or fines, and we will do everything we can to achieve a favorable outcome for our clients. Rhea & Associates can act as your representative with little to no client involvement.
Accounting For Self-Employment
If your individual tax return includes a self-employed business, we can assist in tax efficiency, expenses, home office, auto miles and deductions, retirement, and benefits. We will gather all the necessary information and file accurately on your behalf. Our services help self-employed taxpayers to ensure that they are taking advantage of all of the deductions and credits that they are entitled to.
Back Taxes
It is not the end of the world if back tax returns are unfiled. We have years of experience requesting and receiving IRS penalty reductions. We’ll work with you to determine how much you owe and create a payment plan that fits your budget. We understand that everyone’s financial situation is different. Whether extended or not, Rhea & Associates can prepare late returns and work with the IRS to minimize, or possibly eliminate, late penalties.
Amended Tax Returns
If any of your past few years of tax filings are incorrect, amended returns can be filed to correct these issues. This includes submitting for additional tax refunds due to you, or paying in additional tax while minimizing penalties and interest. In addition, we will also provide ongoing support to ensure that your return remains compliant in the future.
Our team is available year-round to resolve your tax needs. Tax and retirement planning can be time sensitive, especially at the end of the year. IRS tax letters arrive at various times and need immediate attention. We can respond quickly to your IRS issues. The IRS can put liens on your assets, and those of your spouse and company, if tax issues go unresolved. We can contact the IRS on your behalf, put a hold on liens, and develop a plan to resolve the issues.
