Let’s face it. No one likes to do their own tax returns. It can be confusing and the more assets you have the more complicated they become. Our team of accountants and tax attorneys specialize in minimizing our clients’ tax liabilities and alleviating the annual tax season stress.

For most people, doing their own tax return is not a good use of their time.

While tracking your use of money can be quite productive and even becomes fun for many people, preparing your own tax return if you are not a tax professional will probably cost you more than the fee you would have paid to have a professional do it.

At Reiss and Lamar we work with each client to assess their individual circumstance to reduce tax liabilities and “audit-proof” their return. We ensure the correct form(s) are used, deductions are permissible, identify credits or other deductions that may have been overlooked, and remove any non-taxable items.

One of our main areas of focus is privately held business. We consider the business and its shareholders or members as a whole and work to maximize after-tax profits for all parties. 

The IRS mandates that all businesses except partnerships file a tax return regardless of whether they turned a profit during the fiscal year or not. Partnerships must file an information return. We work with C-corporations, S-corporations, LLCs, partnerships and sole proprietorships to accurately complete and file the necessary forms for your business tax return. We help you understand which business expenses can be deducted and what information you will need to file your corporate tax return.

Many of our clients own a small business. Doing bookkeeping is usually a terrible use of their time. They can better spend their time running their business. We offer bookkeeping services, or we can do quarterly reviews of bookkeeping our clients have done in house.
