Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common tax and accounting questions
When should I file my taxes?
The federal tax deadline is April 15 for individuals. However, we recommend filing as early as possible to get refunds faster and reduce fraud risk. We can often file much earlier once we receive your documents.
How much should I charge for tax services?
Tax service pricing varies based on complexity, type of entity, and industry. We recommend consulting with a professional like Dynamic Accounting to determine appropriate pricing.
What deductions am I missing?
This depends on your situation. Common deductions include home office, vehicle expenses, professional development, and equipment. We identify deductions specific to your business.
Should I incorporate my business?
This depends on your income, liability concerns, and tax situation. We analyze your specific circumstances and recommend the best entity structure (sole proprietor, LLC, S-Corp, etc.).
How can I reduce my tax liability?
There are many strategies: income deferral, expense acceleration, retirement contributions, entity structuring, and strategic timing of events. We create a personalized tax plan for maximum savings.
What happens if I get audited?
If you work with us, we have comprehensive records and documentation. We can represent you before the IRS and handle all communications on your behalf.
Do I need to keep receipts and invoices?
Yes. The IRS may ask for supporting documentation for any deduction. We recommend keeping records for at least 3-7 years.
What is the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion?
Tax avoidance is legal - using allowed strategies to minimize taxes. Tax evasion is illegal - deliberately hiding income or falsifying documents. We only recommend legal tax avoidance strategies.
