File It Right, Then Plan The Next One
Individual and business returns, planning that happens before December, and the harder situations that come with a deadline attached.
Tax Preparation In Huntsville, AL
A tax return is a record of decisions that were already made. That is why the work here does not stop at filing: the return gets prepared, and then the conversation turns to what could be different next year while there is still time to change it.
Specialized Accounting is an IRS-authorized e-file provider and holds a PTIN, so returns are prepared and transmitted directly. Individual returns, every common business entity type, and the situations most preparers would rather not take on, including unfiled years and amended returns, are all handled here.
Thirteen services sit under tax. The first group covers filing, the second covers planning and compliance through the year, and the third covers past years that need to be filed or corrected.
Personal / Individual Returns (Form 1040)
Federal and Alabama individual returns prepared from your documents, reviewed with you line by line before anything is transmitted, and electronically filed. Rental income, education and dependent credits, retirement income, and marketplace reconciliation included.

Business Returns — S-Corp (Form 1120-S)
Form 1120-S prepared from closed books, with a Schedule K-1 for every shareholder, basis tracking, and officer compensation that agrees with the payroll filings. The corporate return is finished first so shareholders can file personally without amending later.

Business Returns — C-Corp (Form 1120)
Form 1120 prepared from a reconciled corporate balance sheet, with depreciation schedules, officer compensation, loss carryforwards, and the Alabama corporate filings handled alongside the federal return.

Tax Planning & Strategy
A review of the year to date against a projection of where it will land, followed by a written list of decisions worth making before December: structure, owner compensation, equipment timing, retirement contributions, and estimates adjusted to reality.
Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments
Federal and Alabama estimates calculated from current results and projected to year end, with self-employment tax included, the safe harbor position checked, and the remaining quarters adjusted when the year does something different.

Prior Year Unfiled Returns
Missing years reconstructed from transcripts and records, prepared under each year's own rules, and filed oldest first so carryforwards land correctly. Each year's figures are walked through with you before anything is transmitted, and the current year goes back on schedule.

Amended Tax Returns
A corrected filing when a document arrived late, a K-1 changed, a deduction was missed, or a cleanup changed a filed year. Federal and Alabama amendments are prepared together, with the refund time limits checked before the work starts.
IRS & State Audit Support For Returns We Prepare
If Specialized Accounting prepared your tax return and that return is selected for an IRS or state audit, we can assist you through the audit process and represent the work we prepared.

Multi-State Tax Filing
Part-year, nonresident, and business returns in every state that requires one, reconciled so the credit for tax paid to another state is claimed and the same income is not taxed twice. A filing capability, not a change to the firm's service area.
ITIN Applications
ITIN application assistance is also available for individuals who need a taxpayer identification number for federal tax purposes. Form W-7 is prepared in English or Spanish.
If A Letter Has Already Arrived
Bring it, including the envelope date. Every IRS and Alabama Department of Revenue notice carries a response window, and that window decides the order everything else happens in. If the letter says a return was never filed, the answer is preparing and filing that return, which is squarely the work done here.
If a return Specialized Accounting prepared is selected for an IRS or state audit, we assist you through the audit process and represent the work we prepared. Audit representation is limited to returns prepared by Specialized Accounting. General tax-resolution services, and representation for returns prepared by other tax professionals, are not offered.

Questions About Tax Work Here
When should I bring my documents in?
As soon as they are complete. Filing early leaves room to fix a missing form without an extension, and an appointment in February is a different experience from one on April 10.
Do you file Alabama returns as well as federal?
Yes, and any other state return the situation requires. State and federal are prepared together so the two agree.
What if I have not filed for several years?
That is one of the most common reasons people first call here. Prior year unfiled returns are rebuilt from transcripts and records and filed oldest year first.
