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

Accelerate depreciation on your commercial and residential rental properties. We act as your strategic tax advisors, analyzing your real estate portfolio under IRS MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) guidelines to determine if a Cost Segregation study makes financial sense. If it will significantly reduce your current taxable income, we coordinate with our trusted network of specialized engineering firms to execute the study and apply the tax benefits to your return.


Form 3115 (Change in Accounting Method)

Maximize missed deductions without the hassle of amending past tax returns. If your business missed out on allowable depreciation in previous years, we prepare and file IRS Form 3115 to execute a "catch-up" adjustment in the current year. This highly specialized filing is frequently paired with retroactive Cost Segregation studies to drastically reduce your current-year tax burden.


Section 179 & Bonus Depreciation Planning

Don't wait until tax season to realize you missed a major write-off. We help growing businesses proactively plan for Section 179 deductions under the IRS tax code, allowing you to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying heavy vehicles (over 6,000 lbs) and equipment in the year they are placed into service.


The Augusta Rule (Section 280A) Implementation 

Turn your personal residence into a tax-advantaged business asset. Under IRS Section 280A(g)—commonly known as the Augusta Rule—business owners can legally rent their home to their own corporation for up to 14 days a year. We help South Bay and Los Angeles entrepreneurs structure this strategy flawlessly to secure a corporate tax deduction while generating 100% tax-free personal income.


Multi-State Compliance & IRS Tax Resolution

As federally authorized Enrolled Agents, we have unlimited rights to represent you directly before the IRS. Whether you are dealing with a complex audit, back taxes, or cross-border nexus challenges for your multi-state business, we provide authoritative resolution and bulletproof compliance.



Contact QCPAccounting immediately to find out how our knowledgeable Los Angeles accountant could assist you to simplify your finances and future. We are ready to help at every stage of the process, whether for expert tax planning and preparation or customized accountancy services.

  • What is the difference between an Enrolled Agent (EA) and a CPA?

    An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally authorized tax practitioner specializing in taxation, with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. In contrast, Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) are state-licensed and often focus on broader financial auditing.

    Yes. We act as your strategic tax advisors, analyzing your real estate portfolio under IRS MACRS guidelines. If a Cost Segregation study will significantly reduce your current taxable income, we coordinate with our trusted network of specialized engineering firms to execute the study and apply the tax benefits to your return

  • When does a business need to file IRS Form 3115?

    Form 3115 is required when a business needs to change its accounting method or correct past depreciation errors—such as applying a retroactive Cost Segregation study. As Enrolled Agents, we prepare and file Form 3115 to ensure you capture missed deductions without amending past tax returns.

  • How does the Augusta Rule (Section 280A) work for business owners?

    The Augusta Rule allows business owners to legally rent their primary residence to their own corporation for up to 14 days a year. We help structure this to provide a corporate tax deduction while generating tax-free personal income.

  • How does the Section 179 deduction work for heavy business vehicles?

    Section 179 allows business owners to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and vehicles (over 6,000 lbs) in the tax year they are bought. We help Los Angeles businesses and self-employed professionals proactively plan these purchases before year-end to maximize this powerful tax write-off

  • Do you offer IRS tax resolution services for businesses with multi-state tax issues?

    Absolutely. Navigating IRS tax problems or multi-state compliance issues requires specialized representation. Because we are Enrolled Agents, we have unlimited rights to represent your business directly before the IRS to resolve audits, back taxes, and cross-border nexus challenges.
