Services

Every service is quoted as a flat fee before work starts. If you aren't sure what you need, call and describe the situation, and we'll tell you.

Tax returns

We prepare and file individual, farm and business returns, and we know the Idaho and Oregon rules that come with living near the state line.

  • Individual and family returns

    We handle everything from W-2s and retirement income to rentals, side businesses and years split between states. Federal, Idaho and Oregon returns are all included.

    Flat fee, quoted up front
  • Farm and ranch returns

    We cover Schedule F, equipment depreciation, crop insurance and program payments, along with the timing decisions an uneven year forces on you.

  • S corporations and partnerships

    We prepare Forms 1120-S and 1065, issue the owner K-1s, document reasonable compensation, and file the state returns.

    Flat fee, quoted up front
  • C corporations

    We prepare Form 1120 for corporations, including multi-state filings and estimated tax planning.

Bookkeeping and payroll

Steady monthly work keeps a business ready for tax time, a loan application or a question from the IRS.

  • Monthly bookkeeping

    You get reconciled books and a monthly profit-and-loss statement you can actually read. The fee depends on the size of the business, not the hours on a clock.

  • Payroll

    We run paychecks and direct deposit, make the federal and Idaho deposits, file the quarterly 941s, and issue W-2s and 1099s at year end.

  • Catch-up and cleanup

    If the books fell behind, a year is missing, or the records need rebuilding before a return can be filed, we put them back in order.

Planning and advisory

The decisions that change your tax bill happen before the year ends, while there is still time to make them.

  • Tax Quick Check

    Bring one question, such as an entity choice, a sale or a retirement withdrawal. You leave with an answer and a recommended next step.

    Flat fee, quoted up front
  • Advisory Review

    We review your whole household or business tax picture and give you a written plan for the year ahead.

  • S corporation setup

    We tell you whether the election makes sense for you. If it does, we file it, set a reasonable salary and run the payroll that supports it.

  • Retirement and estate questions

    We help with required distributions, Roth conversions and inherited accounts, and with passing a farm or business to the next generation.

Also

These services have pages of their own.

  • IRS notices and back taxes

    We represent you in audits and collections, including liens, levies, payment plans and offers in compromise.

  • Nonprofits

    We handle Form 990 filings and Idaho annual reports, and we keep books a board treasurer can hand to an auditor.
