Tax Services

Tax is collected from individuals and businesses and is mainly based on the amount spent or the level of income or profit. Paying taxes is a requirement of the law. If you do not pay taxes, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will require you to pay your taxes or else face penalties, such as fines or going to jail.
Tax is a significant cost in our lives, especially in businesses. Properly managing and controlling inherent tax risks is a must as it is significant to the success of any business. For that reason, business owners need the services of real tax professionals. 
They can help business owners get a clearer understanding of tax developments, and help them manage tax risk, control costs, seize tax planning opportunities, and gain competitive advantage.
Sterling & Company works hard at evaluating taxpayer facts and circumstances in order to minimize tax liabilities. We deal with main taxes affecting all businesses and those in difficult areas such as international tax, expatriate tax, and value-added tax, and maintain a wide background and experience working with federal, state, and local taxing authorities.

Tax services include:

  • Federal, State, & Local income tax preparation. Preparing your own income tax return may leave you with more questions than answers as the US tax code can get complicated, and doing it yourself may just make it worse. In fact, according to a study by the US Government's General Accounting Office, most taxpayers admit they benefited from using a professional tax preparer.
  • Income tax planning. The key to legally reducing your tax liability is planning. At Sterling and Company, we take charge of recommending tax-saving strategies to minimize your taxes throughout the year.
