Advanced Tax Advisory & IRS Representation
QCPAccounting provides various financial and tax services to fit your needs. Having more than twenty years of expertise, our staff is qualified in all facets of accounting, including tax preparation, medical practice accounting, residential rental property accounting and more. Here's how we can assist:
Cost Segregation Strategy & Advisory
Cost Segregation is an advanced tax strategy that accelerates depreciation on commercial and residential rental properties to significantly reduce current taxable income. As federally authorized Enrolled Agents, we analyze your real estate portfolio under IRS MACRS guidelines and coordinate with specialized engineering firms to execute the study.
Form 3115 (Change in Accounting Method)
IRS Form 3115 (Change in Accounting Method) allows businesses to claim missed allowable depreciation from previous years without the hassle of amending past tax returns. The primary financial benefit is a massive "catch-up" adjustment that drastically reduces your current-year tax burden. Our Enrolled Agents specialize in preparing and filing this complex adjustment, frequently pairing it with retroactive Cost Segregation studies.
Section 179 & Bonus Depreciation Planning
The Section 179 tax deduction allows businesses to write off the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and heavy vehicles (over 6,000 lbs) in the exact year they are placed into service. We proactively execute Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation planning so growing businesses maximize their deductions well before tax season.
The Augusta Rule (Section 280A) Implementation
The Augusta Rule (IRS Section 280A(g)) allows business owners to legally rent their primary residence to their own corporation for up to 14 days per year. The primary financial benefit is securing a corporate tax deduction while generating 100% tax-free personal income. Our Enrolled Agents help Los Angeles and South Bay entrepreneurs structure this strategy flawlessly for IRS compliance.
Multi-State Compliance & IRS Tax Resolution
Multi-State Tax Compliance involves navigating complex cross-border nexus challenges, state-specific tax codes, and IRS audits for businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions. Because we are federally authorized Enrolled Agents, we have unlimited rights to represent your business directly before the IRS to provide authoritative resolution, negotiate back taxes, and ensure bulletproof state-by-state compliance.
