Accounting and Tax Services
Few man-made things rival the complexity of U.S. federal income tax law. From the "tax code" to several volumes of Treasury Regulations explaining the meaning of the Code, to Revenue Procedures, Bulletins, Technical Advice Memorandums, Committee Reports, Revenue Rulings, Private Letter Rulings, and Field Service Advice issued by IRS Chief Council, the complexity and variation on legal interpretation seems neverending (and in reality is neverending).
How is the average person, pre-occupied with their daily life, supposed to "comply" with this unwieldy morass of legal jargon and interpretive regurgitation? The answer, for better or worse, is to either 1) become a competent tax professional, or 2) hire a competent tax professional for advice.
Congress has written the tax code in a way that rewards certain behaviors and discourages others. The complexity of U.S. tax law can be used to your advantage if you can adapt your life to take the rewards and punishments into account in your decision making. If this is not an option for you, then it may be your best option to purchase the services of someone who is knowledgable about dealing with tax law administrators.
Regardless of your tax question or tax planning needs, we can offer service to meet your needs. While we can't always give you the answer that you want, we can advise you on the risks of taking a contrary position.
