We can assist qualifying taxpayers working in fields such as:
- Real estate
- Insurance

- Consulting
- Sales
- Financial services
- Education

Some professionals receive only W-2 income, while others may receive commissions, 1099 income, business income, or income from several different sources.
Having multiple income streams can make accurate recordkeeping particularly important.
1099 & Independent Contractor Tax Preparation
Independent contractors generally have different tax considerations from traditional employees.
If you receive 1099 income, you may need to report both your business income and qualifying business expenses.
We provide 1099 tax preparation in Winter Park for qualifying independent contractors, freelancers, consultants, commission-based professionals, and other self-employed taxpayers.
Depending on the nature of the business and applicable tax rules, potentially relevant expenses could include advertising, supplies, professional fees, insurance, equipment, mileage or vehicle expenses, and other ordinary and necessary business expenses.
Whether an expense is deductible depends on the taxpayer's particular circumstances.
Self-Employed Tax Preparation in Winter Park
Running a business or professional practice can create tax responsibilities that don't apply to traditional employees.
Self-employed taxpayers should maintain detailed records of business income and expenses throughout the year.
We can assist with tax preparation involving qualifying self-employment activity, whether your business is your primary source of income or something you operate in addition to a regular job.
Bring organized records showing your business income and expenses when preparing your return.

Small businesses are an important part of the Winter Park economy.
We provide tax preparation assistance for qualifying businesses and business owners, including:
- Sole proprietors
- Single-member LLCs
- Multi-member LLCs

The tax filing requirements for a business depend heavily on its structure and circumstances.
Business owners should maintain accurate records of revenue and potentially relevant expenses, including advertising, insurance, professional services, equipment, supplies, rent, payroll-related records, and other business transactions.
Tax Preparation for Real Estate Professionals
Real estate professionals may receive income from commissions, brokerage activity, property management, consulting, rental properties, or other sources.
If you work in real estate as an independent contractor, keeping accurate records of your income and business expenses can be especially important.
We can assist with qualifying tax returns involving real estate-related self-employment and business income.
Rental Property Tax Preparation
Owning rental property can add another layer of complexity to an individual tax return.
Rental-property owners may need to report rental income and eligible expenses associated with operating and maintaining their properties.
Tax considerations may include:
- Rental income
- Property management expenses
- Repairs and maintenance
- Insurance
- Professional services
- Certain operating expenses
- Depreciation
The tax treatment of a particular expense depends on the facts and applicable tax law.
Keeping separate, organized records for each rental property can make tax preparation significantly easier.
Multiple Sources of Income
More taxpayers now earn income from several sources.
For example, you might have a full-time W-2 job while also earning consulting income, commissions, rental income, or income from a side business.
When preparing your tax return, it is important to account for all applicable income documents and business records.
Bring documentation for every source of income so your return can be prepared based on complete information.
Prior-Year Tax Preparation
If you have an unfiled tax return from a previous year, we may be able to help prepare it.
The documentation required depends on the tax year and your circumstances.
Gather any available W-2s, 1099s, business records, rental-property information, and other relevant tax documents before your appointment.
Amended Tax Returns
You may discover after filing that information was missing or incorrect on your original tax return.
Depending on the circumstances, an amended return may be appropriate.
We can review the information and determine whether preparing an amended return falls within the tax preparation services we provide.
