Common Questions:
General Tax Return Questions:
- What do I need to bring in for taxes?
Please see our link for a checklist for both personal and business.
- I only have SS. Do I need to file?
Most likely not, but please check with us to verify.
Selling/Purchasing of House:
- What do I need to bring in?
You will need to bring in the HUD statement and information about the house you are selling.
We will also need to know the amount you purchased it for, the year you purchased and any expenses spent on the house since you owned it.
Extensions:
- What is the process?
If you are unable to get us your paperwork before March 31st, we ask that you contact Bryant & Greer to have an extension filed.
- When are they due?
Extensions are due in mid Oct.
How do I know if I need to pay towards my liability by April 15th (tax day)?
To avoid penalties and interest, send in the amount of tax you believe will be due when the return is filed.
Sole Proprietorship vs LLC:
- Does an LLC save me any tax?
No, it does not. It most likely will cost you more due to state fee’s and state taxes. Limited Liability Companies are only needed for liability protection, not tax savings.
IRS Letters:
- I received an IRS letter, now what?
As soon as you receive the IRS letter, either scan it and email it to Bryant & Greer or bring it in and we will scan it. Once the letter is reviewed, we will contact you with the appropriate action. If the issue is something Bryant & Greer can help with, we will write a letter on your behalf and fax/mail our response to the IRS.
- How long does it take to hear back?
There is no timeline or queue status when waiting for a response from the IRS. Depending on how backed up they are, it could take a few weeks to a few months to even years.
- Will they contact B&G or me?
The IRS will contact you again, via mail. They will not contact Bryant & Greer unless we have a valid signed power of attorney on file.
