We understand your unique situation, and can file accurately for you

Work in one state and live in another? In most cases, income you earn in another state will be taxed by that state, requiring you to file there, too.

The good news is your resident state may let you take a credit for the taxes you pay elsewhere to avoid double taxation. Beware of unique scenarios and plan for potential differences in tax rates!

Did you move to another state or spend time out of state in a secondary home? States have varying tax residency rules, which are crucial to understand to avoid unexpected state taxes and filing requirements.

EY tax professionals consistently work with multistate filers, to submit the proper forms, credits and state tax returns.

Being self-employed is a major achievement, but it comes with additional responsibilities. If you’re a business owner, partner, contractor or gig worker, you may have to pay self-employment tax.

We can prepare and file the necessary returns for you, including federal Schedules C, E and SE to report your business income and expenses, and ultimately calculate your self-employment tax. We stay current on tax laws to identify the deductions and credits applicable to you.

Self-employed individuals are required to pay income taxes throughout the year. We simplify the process by calculating your estimated taxes and providing quarterly estimated tax forms to assist you in paying your income taxes, including your self-employment tax.

The economic impact of the pandemic has been challenging, with millions receiving unemployment. These funds offer a lifeline, but they’re not tax-free income.

When it’s time to file your tax returns, be on the lookout for a Form 1099-G, which reports the amount of unemployment benefits you received during the year. Your tax return preparer will need a copy to report it as income on your tax returns.

If you want to avoid a surprise tax balance due when you file your returns, consider adjusting your tax withholdings or making estimated tax payments.

Unemployment benefits may be a new and unfamiliar tax topic for many. We handle the reporting on your tax returns and provide guidance on tax withholdings and estimated tax payments.

Rental property classifications
Annual improvements and depreciation
Gains or losses if you sell the property

From savings accounts, to a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds, these holdings generate varying types of investment income, each with distinct tax rates.

For those with investments in real estate, virtual currencies or partnerships, we will calculate income or losses and file the supplemental forms required.

EY tax professionals will prepare and file your individual returns including forms related to investment income, such as federal Schedules B, D and E. Proper reporting is crucial, as certain types of interest, dividends and capital gains may qualify for reduced tax rates. If you’re subject to the net investment income tax, we prepare the Form 8960, and include the tax deductions available to you.
