Have you just started a new business? Did you know expenses incurred before a business begins operations are not allowed as current deductions? Generally, these start up costs must be amortized over a period of 180 months beginning in the month in which the business begins. However, based on the current tax provisions, you may elect to deduct up to $5,000 of business start-up and $5,000 of organizational costs paid or incurred.
Following are some generally recognized financial planning tools that may help you reduce your tax bill. Charitable Giving - Instead of selling your appreciated long-term securities, donate the stock instead and avoid paying tax on the unrealized gain while still getting a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value.
It's possible there could be additional extensions, so check with your tax advisor for the latest information. Individuals must pay the third installment of 2021 estimated taxes, if not paying income tax through withholding (Form 1040-ES). Calendar-year corporations need to pay the third installment of 2021 estimated income taxes.

It was a very bad experience. I needed tax filing for a LLC, which has foreign investment. Yes, it is a case that requires more expertise than an ordinary filing. I brought all the docs to her mid January, sent her all requested info within 24 hours. She accepted the case.
No progress was made thereafter. Tried to call her, and could not reach her 2 out of 3 times. When I could reach her, she would apologize, she was busy, my case was complicated, nobody would take up my case, .... The same response was given 3 times. March 15th, deadline for business filing came, needed to file extension

I use Michelle due to trying to diversify my investing and wanting better insight in tax codes for the past 5 years. My annual tax return has not been any problem. The main thing I like about her is that when I have question about what would benefit me the most in taxes she always willing to answer. I even had this one incident where my wife's work payroll made an error and we received a letter from IRS and Michelle help us navigate even though it even well after office hours.

So this is the first time ever I am actually writing a review on yelp. Just to let you guys know that this is the third year that I've chosen to file my tax return with this CPA. The reason that I decided to write this review is because I just had a bad experience with them. They increase the price without even letting their customer know. Even though is not a big price jump, I felt like they should still inform their customer. And I just found out that I'm spending much more on tax filing than anyone else around me. I found this place on yelp on 2015 and decided to give it a try based

My father has been a client of Michelle for 3 years now. We first approached her due to a few complicated years for his tax filings. I had spoken to several CPAs in a 20 mile radius, and we were generally turned away due to the complicated nature. We also had a horrible experience with another accounting firm prior that took the case and did a sloppy job. I was rather disheartened until I found Michelle.
She and her staff are extremely professional, warm, and courteous, and it has been a pleasure working with her team.
The only thing that clients should be aware of is that you may not know how

CPA owner goes by the name Michelle. She is reliable, to the point and on top of things. Her responses are within 24hrs, identifies the required tax forms and asks questions to make sure that communication is clear between her team and me. I also like that she is up to date regarding technology - i can simply upload any required documentation and receive forms for review via secure website link. This saves me a lot time from not having to stop by her office to drop and/or pick up forms.
Would definitely recommend her services for anyone seeking tax support.

I found Michelle on Yelp with great reviews so I decided to give her a try. Wow, talk about fast, complete & attention detailed service! She helped me complete my personal and business taxes with such ease and simplicity. Everyone in the office is so helpful and knowledgable, I left my other CPA of 15 years for her. I feel very satisfied with Michelle and am very glad that I found her and her team!

Never ever come to this place. $150 for personal taxes!!! Are you serious!!!!! They don't even tell you the fee that they will charge you first and they don't even care or help you with the taxes. Don't go!!!!!!!!
She did nothing for $150 that she charged me just for personal taxes!!! She didn't even help!She said that I owed $1100 and when I checked online myself by turbotax was only $200. Seriously don't waste your money and don't go!
收费贵就算了 还不做事情 还不如我自己上网报 根本不管你的利益 就想赶快拿钱完事 真的不要来这

I've recently moved to So Cal and in need of an accountant to help me with my complicated tax filing. Through Yelp, I found Michelle, and I must say she's great, not only in terms of her knowledge of all the tax laws, tips on what or what not to do, but a wonderful person too. She's attentive, detail-oriented, highly responsive to all questions thrown at her, and patient! And her staff was just as wonderful and friendly. They are always on top of things. I am looking forward to working with her again next year and beyond!

We love Michelle. My family use her services for both our business and personal taxes.
She is knowledgeable and is patient in explaining what needs to be done and how to save money on our taxes.
Not the cheapest accountant you can find, but we fired our last accountant because cheap price often equals crappy service.

I found Michelle when she only had 1 review on Yelp several years ago. Since then I have been using Michelle's services for 2 years now. She was helping us with new company paperwork, accounting and tax filing. Michele is definitely one of the most knowledgeable CPA out there and very pleasant to work with. She is always on top of things and has a very fast turn around time, especially with your personal tax return.
Highly recommended!

I think expressing gratitude attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value.
I just finished my tax return by Ms. Yen Ling "Michelle" Chen. Gratefully it was such a nice ending to an otherwise intractable problem. I was so delighted not just with Ms. Yen Ling's work as a CPA, but also with her rapport with me as a client with a tax problem. My problem might not have been complex to her, but it was giving me nightmares.
Ms. Chen is an extraordinary CPA, and more, she is a kind person with a warm heart who took the time to understand how I got myself into this mess
