CPA Services
At ARNA, we specialize in comprehensive U.S. tax accounting services designed to meet the needs of individuals, small businesses, and large corporations. Our team of certified CPAs and U.S. tax professionals handles every aspect of the tax cycle from personal income tax returns to complex corporate filings and IRS audits. We ensure full compliance with both federal and state laws, optimizing your tax strategy to maximize savings and minimize liability. Whether you’re an individual investor, a startup owner, or a multinational enterprise, ARNA provides clear, honest advice and expert support to keep your taxes in order and your financial goals on track.
Federal and State Tax Filing
ARNA prepares and files all required U.S. federal and state tax returns. We handle individual returns (Form 1040 and schedules) for residents, self-employed professionals, and partnerships, as well as business returns (Forms 1120, 1120-S, 1065) for corporations, S-Corps, LLCs, and partnerships. Our experts also prepare estate, and trust returns (Form 1041) when needed. We carefully account for multi-state requirements: since taxpayers must file a return in every state where they earn income, we manage each state return and related withholding or estimated payments.
IRS Compliance and Audit Support
Dealing with the IRS can be stressful. ARNA’s tax team provides proactive compliance guidance and dedicated audit support to minimize risk. We respond promptly to IRS notices and prepare all required documentation. In case of an audit, our CPAs gather and organize crucial records, communicate directly with IRS agents, and provide strategic advice on addressing any findings.
International Tax Advisory (Cross-Border Compliance)
ARNA’s international tax experts help clients navigate the complexities of cross-border taxation. Whether you have U.S. tax obligations abroad or foreign income in the U.S., we provide tailored advisory and compliance services. Our offerings include expatriate tax returns, foreign business structuring, and global tax planning. We address both “outbound” scenarios (U.S. individuals or companies operating internationally) and “inbound” scenarios (foreign nationals or entities with U.S. tax exposure), focusing on minimizing worldwide tax liability.
Tax Planning Strategies for Individuals and Businesses
Proactive tax planning is a core part of ARNA’s services. We work year-round to develop strategies that lower your future tax bills while aligning with your financial goals. For individuals, we analyse income, investments, retirement contributions, and life changes to maximize deductions and credits. For businesses, we consider entity structure, timing of income and expenses, capital purchases, and available incentives. Proper tax planning not only ensures legal compliance, it also maximizes deductions and optimizes your financial position.
Corporate Tax Return Preparation (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLCs)
ARNA prepares complete tax returns for all types of business entities. We understand the distinctions between C corporations, S corporations, and LLCs and file the correct forms for each. For C corporations, we prepare Form 1120 and state corporate returns, calculating corporate tax at federal and state levels. Distributed profits (dividends) are then taxed at the shareholder level, so we also advise on tax-efficient dividend policies. For S corporations, we prepare Form 1120-S and issue Schedule K-1s to shareholders. S-Corp income (or losses) passes through to personal returns, avoiding double taxation. LLCs receive customized treatment: by default a single-member LLC’s income is reported on a Schedule C of the owner’s Form 1040, and multi-member LLCs file Form 1065 (partnership return) with K-1s. LLCs are typically pass-through entities, meaning the LLC itself pays no federal income tax; instead its profits flow through to members’ personal tax returns.
Bookkeeping Integration with Tax Services
Accurate bookkeeping is essential for smooth tax preparation. ARNA integrates bookkeeping with our tax services to provide a complete financial management solution. We maintain your ledgers, reconcile accounts, and track income/expenses throughout the year so that your tax data is always up to date. Bundling bookkeeping and tax yields cohesive support that minimizes errors and maximizes savings. With one team handling your books and tax, we gain full visibility into your finances, allowing us to spot opportunities for deductions and avoid surprises.
