Tax Preparation

Our investment in our employees and tax preparation and research software enables us to accurately prepare returns for various types of entities including individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, estates, and not-for-profit organizations. We go beyond just the numbers, we get to know you so we can provide valuable suggestions and recommendations to meet your financial goals.

Tax Planning

Tax planning is an essential element of the tax preparation process. By making tax planning part of your overall business strategy, you can use our experience and access to the most current new developments in the tax laws to minimize both your current and future tax liabilities.

Sales Tax Services

Sales and use tax is arguably the most complex tax system for businesses to understand and adhere to and that is why we, at John A. Knutson, are an excellent resource for all your concerns and compliance issues.  Sales and use tax audits are an increasing concern for many businesses as the government has determined there is a significant deficiency in reporting and collecting sales and use tax.  We have significant experience in dealing with various state auditors to help reduce any excess burden the states may impose.

IRS Representation

During our years of experience dealing with many taxing authorities, we have achieved a level of competence that can ensure our clients they are being properly represented before the various federal and state tax agencies.
