Accounting for Individuals

Accounting for individuals are certainly complex and according to recent statistics released by the IRS, it takes between 9 and 23 hours to complete an individual tax return. Do you have this kind of time to spare? Most of us are too busy juggling countless other tasks to be worried about filing our taxes. Time is only half the battle, with accuracy on the other end. Filing accurate taxes is critical to avoid underpaying or overpaying in taxes, both of which can result in the IRS knocking on your door. The good news is that JS Morlu has a fully staffed team of tax experts ready to help you quickly and accurately file that pesky tax return.

Who Needs to File?

Most individuals who have income need to file a tax return. The IRS does stipulate that any individual with income totaling less than the standard deduction does not necessarily need to file a return. However, federal and state governments offer a wide array of deductions and credits that can put hard-earned money back into your pocket. Don’t automatically conclude that you don’t need to hire an accountant just because your income is under the standard deduction. Instead, enlist an individual tax return accountant, such as JS Morlu. Additionally, if you have children that you can claim on your return, you should always file a tax return since most child tax credits are refundable.

Can JS Morlu Help Me with My Small Business?

Becoming an entrepreneur can be great, but there are tax implications to be aware of. Small businesses set up as a sole proprietorship and single-member LLC are reported on the individual return on Schedule C.

JS Morlu helps numerous small businesses accurately report income and expenses on the individual tax return each year, making them your trusted individual tax accountant. Common tax deductions and credits that JS Morlu helps small businesses claim include:
