Comprehensive Tax Care for Families, Churches & Businesses
Income Tax Preparation (All Entities)
From straightforward W-2 returns to complex clergy, agricultural, and multi-state filings, we prepare returns line by line so every number makes sense. John Wisener is an Enrolled Agent—federally authorized to represent taxpayers in all 50 states—so we can handle individuals, families, trusts/estates, partnerships, and S-/C-corporations with confidence. Expect clear document checklists, proactive questions to capture every lawful deduction, and accurate e-filing with confirmations. If last year’s return was rushed or unclear, we’ll review it for missed credits and amend when it benefits you. The goal: accuracy now, fewer surprises next year.
IRS Representation
When a notice lands, you don’t have to spend hours on hold—we speak to the IRS for you. We interpret letters, track deadlines, and manage exams, document requests, penalty abatements, adjustments, and payment plans from start to finish. As an EA, John presents your facts, builds a clean paper trail, and negotiates toward a practical resolution. You’ll know what’s happening, what’s needed, and what comes next at every step. Whether it’s a CP2000 mismatch, underreporting inquiry, or full audit, you get steady guidance and disciplined follow-through.
Tax Advisory & Mid-Year Planning
The best savings happen before you transact. Call us ahead of any $5k–$10k decision—equipment, vehicles, benefits elections, real estate moves—so we can time and structure it for tax efficiency. We advise on entity choice, depreciation (including Section 179/bonus), accountable plans, withholdings/estimated taxes, and cash-flow impacts. For clergy, we optimize housing allowance and dual-status considerations; for agricultural clients, we plan around seasonality and commodity timing. You’ll leave with a written, plain-English action plan and checkpoints for the rest of the year.
Payroll & Bookkeeping
Get right-sized support that keeps your books clean and your filings on time. We set up or tune payroll (including clergy dual-status nuances), file quarterlies (941/940), and prepare W-2/1099 year-end packages. On the books side, we tailor your chart of accounts, reconcile monthly, close cleanly, and document everything so lenders, boards, and tax authorities can follow the story. Need to migrate or clean up QuickBooks? We’ll handle that, too. The result: compliant payroll, accurate financials, and audit-ready records without the chaos.
Benefits Guidance (No Product Sales)
Unbiased guidance for HSAs, FSAs, and 401(k)s so your benefits actually support your tax plan. We help you decide contribution levels, Roth vs. traditional, safe-harbor options, and owner-employee rules—plus the documentation and substantiation the IRS expects. For clergy, we coordinate benefits with housing allowance and self-employment tax considerations. We don’t sell financial products, so the advice is conflict-free; when needed, we coordinate with your financial advisor to keep tax, payroll, and benefits aligned. Expect clear steps, correct forms (e.g., Form 8889 for HSAs), and tidy records.
