Salt Lake City Tax Services for Every Stage
Salt Lake City tax services at our office cover three pillars: Tax Preparation, Tax Resolution, and Tax Planning. Each service below lists what is included and where to find starting prices.
Tax Preparation
We prepare individual and business returns for Salt Lake City clients, filed electronically with copies for your records. New clients receive a review of the prior year return to catch missed items before the current return is prepared.
Individual returns
- 1040 Basic, starting at $525, for straightforward wage and retirement income
- 1040 Plus, starting at $825, when you add investments, rentals, or business income
- Each extra schedule, $190
- Amended returns when the original filing needs correction
- Part year Utah returns after a move in or out of state
Business and accounting
- 1120S S corporation returns, starting at $1,275
- Bookkeeping cleanup so the return ties to real records
- Monthly accounting at $565 per hour
- Reports your lender or partners can read with confidence
- Coordination with your payroll provider at year end
Tax Resolution
Owing the IRS or receiving a notice is stressful, but almost every case has a defined path forward. We review your transcripts, confirm what you truly owe, stop aggressive collection where the law allows, and negotiate the resolution your finances support.
Relief programs
- Penalty abatement, starting at $1,275
- Offer in Compromise, starting at $2,775, plus the $186 IRS filing fee
- Streamlined installment agreement, starting at $825
- Currently not collectible status when payment would cause hardship
Collection and notices
- Levy and lien help to stop collection action, starting at $865
- Representation before the IRS at $640 per hour
- Transcript review and compliance check before any negotiation
- Written explanation of every notice you receive
Tax Planning
Planning lowers lifetime tax, not just this April bill. We meet with you during the year to set withholding, time income and deductions, and adjust quarterly estimates so you pay enough but never far too much.
Planning topics we cover
- Withholding reviews after marriage, divorce, a new job, or a new child
- Quarterly estimated payments for business and investment income
- Year end moves such as timing equipment buys and charitable gifts
- Retirement funding choices, including catch up contributions after age 50
- Business structure reviews for new and growing companies
A 30 minute planning session is $115. See planning prices
Frequently asked questions
Which return package fits me, Basic or Plus?
Basic fits wage earners with standard income forms and common deductions. Plus fits clients with investments, rental property, business income, or equity pay. If you are unsure, call (801) 580 6163 and describe your year; we will place you correctly before quoting a price.
Can you help if I have not filed for several years?
Yes. We gather your IRS transcripts, prepare the missing returns in the order the IRS requires, and then address any balance with an installment agreement or other relief. Bring whatever records you have and we will start from there.
Do planning sessions apply to business owners?
Yes. Owners use planning sessions for entity choice, owner pay, quarterly estimates, and year end purchases. The $115 session often pays for itself when one timing decision changes the tax due.
