Strategic Tax Planning for Business Owners Who Are Done Overpaying the IRS!

We help Corps, Partnerships, and growth-focused business owners legally reduce taxes, stay compliant, and build long-term financial clarity - without stress, guesswork, or last-minute scrambling.

HOW WE WORK WITH CLIENTS

If you're earning money but still feel unsure about taxes, structure, or exposure - the problem isn't your income.
It's the lack of strategy

At FIRM1040, we don't just file returns. We help clients keep more of what they earn — year after year — through strategy, structure, and planning.

Tax Strategy

Proactive, multi-year tax planning designed to reduce lifetime liability. We model income, entities, investments, and real estate decisions so you can act strategically not react at year-end.

Real Estate Tax Advisory

Specialized tax strategy for multi-property investors and real estate owners. We address entity structure, depreciation, passive activity rules, short-term rentals, and exit planning.

Tax Resolution

Strategic representation for individuals and business owners facing IRS or state tax issues. We stabilize compliance, analyze exposure, negotiate solutions, and protect your assets and long-term financial standing.

Tax Compliance

Accurate, defensible federal and state filings for individuals and businesses. We ensure compliance is handled with precision while identifying risks, protecting deductions, and aligning filings with your broader financial strategy.

Business Advisory & Structuring

Strategic guidance for growth-stage business owners. We evaluate entity design, compensation structure, cash flow, and tax positioning to support scalability, profitability, and long-term operational stability.

Accounting & Operational Support

Clean financial systems that support strategic decision-making. We provide bookkeeping oversight and payroll coordination to ensure accurate reporting, compliance integrity, and infrastructure aligned with your tax strategy.
