Why is it worth it to hire a tax professional or an enrolled agent to prepare my business taxes?
For many of us, income taxes are the biggest single expense that we have in our lives, yet we don’t make an intentional effort to legally cut our tax bill. While we might try to get good deals on tangible items, such as clothing, we don’t think about how to legally discount our tax bill. Our business is different in that we concentrate and work with small business owners to provide tax planning services. Our firm specializes in helping your business maximize profits and pay the least amount of taxes legally possible. We also pay close attention to asset protection and we can help with incorporations and entity restructuring services.
Additionally, through working with Lakeline Tax, you are granted peace of mind knowing that a professional enrolled agent is handling your taxes. Making mistakes can be very costly in terms of missed deductions or triggering an IRS letter or audit. An IRS-certified enrolled agent can help eliminate errors and ensure your returns are prepared correctly. You benefit from money-saving tax planning.

Tax consultants keep up with tax laws at the local, state, and federal levels, something that you may find hard to do.
If you own a business, filing your taxes can be daunting, especially when you factor in things like sales taxes, which have to be returned several times annually. Trying to file your own taxes may save you money short-term, but will harm you long-term, especially as your business grows.
With a professional tax advisor, you’ll have a better understanding of your tax deductions and you will be given advice about making strategic investments that will help you avoid tax liabilities. An expert tax consultant will not only advise you on how to effectively save on taxes, but also improve your financial portfolio.
You’d be surprised at the number of people fined for making tax mistakes or penalized for not filing on time. With a tax consultant, you don’t have to go digging up all your files and double-check that everything is correct because they’ll do all that for you on time. This means you can place your focus on your business.

This includes single-family, multifamily, and commercial property investors of all sizes.

Businesses, in general, are nearly ten times more likely to be audited than individuals who don’t own businesses. The more money you make, the greater your chances of being selected for an audit. The real question is when you are audited, will you survive it to reduce your taxes? Is your tax preparer capable of representing you if you are audited? Lakeline Tax will be here for you, and we are qualified to represent you in front of the IRS and may save you thousands of Dollars.
As income increases, financial portfolios typically diversify, including investments, properties, and business ventures. These add layers of complexity such as capital gains taxes, multijurisdictional filings, estate planning, and international income compliance. Managing these obligations requires expertise to avoid errors, minimize liability, and optimize financial strategies.
Multijurisdictional tax obligations arise when you own properties, run businesses, or earn income across different states or countries. Each jurisdiction has unique tax laws, deadlines, and requirements. Non-compliance or inaccurate filings can lead to penalties, audits, and higher tax liabilities.
Tax-loss harvesting involves offsetting taxable gains with capital losses by strategically selling underperforming investments. If losses exceed gains, up to $3,000 can be deducted annually against ordinary income, with any remaining losses carried forward to future years. This technique optimizes your portfolio and reduces taxable income.
DIY like Turbo tax software is designed for basic returns and cannot handle complex scenarios like multistate filings, international income, or diversified investments. Professional tax planners provide tailored strategies, ensure compliance, and identify tax-saving opportunities that software may overlook, minimizing risk and maximizing savings.
A Lakeline tax professional tax advisor ensures accurate filings in all applicable states, accounts for varying tax rates, and leverages deductions and credits unique to each jurisdiction. They also track compliance requirements to avoid penalties and missed opportunities.
Commonly overlooked opportunities include tax-loss harvesting, maximizing contributions to tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs, structuring businesses for tax efficiency, leveraging foreign tax credits, and utilizing estate planning tools such as trusts. Professional advisors help identify and implement these strategies.
