Income and Franchise Tax Refund Analysis
Most taxing authority auditors focus on identifying underpayments of income and franchise taxes. We identify overpaid income and franchise taxes and assist clients with obtaining refunds from tax authorities. Benefits of a refund analysis include increased cash flow, efficiencies from improved compliance processes, potential tax rate benefit, improved risk management, and reduction of penalties and interest.
Audit Management and Defense
We assist our clients with all aspects of an audit, from discreet audit support to full audit management, and identify opportunities to reduce the audit assessment.
Strategic Planning
To remain competitive, our clients must ensure that their tax structures and compliance processes are effective and efficient. As our clients’ businesses expand or change, our experienced professionals can assist with location selection, transactional analysis, and structural choices.
Compliance Services
We assist our clients in preparing or reviewing state and local tax returns, including estimated tax payments, extensions and withholding. Our professionals take pride in ensuring that state and local compliance projects are completed accurately and advantageously under the law, and we do not outsource this function overseas.
Voluntary Disclosure and Tax Amnesty Programs
Voluntary Disclosure and Tax Amnesty programs are a means by which deficiencies in income and franchise tax returns can be corrected. On your behalf, our professionals initiate discussions with the tax authority and assist in completing the requisite applications and compliance associated with voluntary disclosure and tax amnesty programs. Most taxing authorities will offer a full or partial waiver of penalty and/or interest to taxpayers offering to comply on a voluntary basis.
Sarbanes-Oxley 404 Compliance
