Tax preparation for the Treasure Valley, done by people who live here.
We prepare individual, farm and business tax returns for families and businesses from Weiser to Boise, and we handle the bookkeeping and payroll that feed them. You'll know the fee before we start. If the IRS comes calling, our Enrolled Agent can represent you.
Tax returns, start to finish
Most of our work is tax preparation. Bring your papers in, mail them, or drop them off, and we'll take it from there.
-
Individual and family returns
We handle everything from W-2s and retirement income to rentals, side businesses and years split between states. Federal, Idaho and Oregon returns are all included.
-
Farm and ranch returns
We cover Schedule F, equipment depreciation, crop insurance and program payments, along with the timing decisions an uneven year forces on you.
-
S corporations and partnerships
We prepare Forms 1120-S and 1065, issue the owner K-1s, document reasonable compensation, and file the state returns.
-
C corporations
We prepare Form 1120 for corporations, including multi-state filings and estimated tax planning.
Beyond the return
A return looks back at last year. These three keep next year from going wrong.
Planning
We help you pay what the law requires and not a dollar more. Those choices get made before the year closes, not discovered at filing time.
More on planningPrevention
We catch the small things early: a missed estimate, a late payroll deposit, a notice sitting unopened in a drawer.
More on preventionResolution
When something has already gone wrong, we represent you before the IRS on back taxes, liens, levies and audits.
More on resolutionCredentials you can check

This is the highest credential the IRS awards. Enrolled Agents pass a three-part IRS exam on individual returns, business returns and representation, and they complete continuing education every year.
An EA can represent you before the IRS on audits, collections and appeals in any state.
