Tax Planning Made Simple for 1099s, Contractors, and the Self-Employed

We serve many self-employed and contracted employees with their Northern Colorado personal tax preparation, so whether you work off of 1099s or simple invoices, we are here to make sure that when it comes to tax time you will have no surprises.

Realtors, real estate investors, independent contract workers, and the self-employed are some of our favorite clients! We get to know you and your business, allowing us to set you up for success when it comes to managing your finances and tax liability.

  • Do you have to file multiple schedules with your taxes?

  • Are you buying and selling properties and need to assess capital gains?

  • Do you work on retainer or invoice clients as work is completed?

  • Or perhaps you have a job where you are an independent contractor and travel from place to place to work for extended weeks at a time, thus incurring job related expenses including food, hotels, transportation and supplies.

Smart Tax Strategies for Individuals & Small Business Owners

Why Your Filing Status Matters

Even if you don’t see yourself as a “business,” you might be treated like one in the eyes of the IRS. Filing as a sole proprietor can mean:

  • Higher self-employment taxes
  • Penalties if estimated taxes aren’t paid quarterly
  • Surprise tax bills at year-end

 

We’ll help you project your tax liabilities, set up quarterly payments, and explore whether switching your entity type—such as forming an S Corporation—could save you money.

Comprehensive Tax Preparation & Planning

We provide Northern Colorado personal tax preparation alongside full-service tax strategy. Our team of accountants, tax specialists, an enrolled agent, and an on-site CPA will:

  • Prepare and file your taxes accurately
  • Review your entity type to maximize tax benefits
  • Monitor your data throughout the year to adjust for changes
  • Ensure you’re paying only what’s required—no more, no less
