The office at 3300 North Ridge Road, Suite 280, Ellicott City, MD is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended weekday and Saturday hours during tax season.
What should I bring to my first tax appointment?
Bring your prior-year tax return, photo ID, Social Security numbers for you and your dependents, and all income documents such as W-2s and 1099s. Also gather records of deductible expenses, mortgage interest, charitable donations, and business income and expenses if self-employed. Your CPA will confirm anything else needed when you schedule.
When should I hire a CPA instead of using tax software?
Hire a CPA when your finances go beyond a single W-2, such as owning a business or rental property, receiving stock or investment income, or facing a major life change. Software can file simple returns, but a licensed CPA offers year-round planning, catches missed deductions, and can represent you before the IRS.
When are tax returns due?
Federal individual income tax returns are generally due April 15 each year. Partnership and S-corporation returns are typically due March 15, and C-corporation returns April 15. Extensions give you more time to file, not to pay. Maryland follows similar dates for state returns; a CPA can confirm the deadlines that apply to you.
How does CFO advisory support work?
CFO advisory support gives your business access to experienced financial leadership without hiring a full-time CFO. AK & Associates, PA reviews your numbers, helps with budgeting, cash flow, and financial reporting, and advises on major decisions as your business grows. Engagements are tailored to each company’s size, industry, and goals.
How do consultations and fees work at AK2CPA?
