Want To Know About Us
PAYLESS TAXES LLC
We are an accounting and tax firm built only for contractors, residential and commercial. We plan and prepare your business and personal returns together, so strategies are decided before year end, not discovered after it. We know how your accounting method, entity structure, and owner pay affect both your tax bill and your financial statements, including the ones your surety reviews. The goal: keep more of what your jobs earn.
Our Services
What We Do
MOST TAX PREPARERS RECORD WHAT ALREADY HAPPENED. WE PLAN WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
TAX PLANNING
Most contractors only hear from their tax preparer at filing time, when it is too late to change the outcome. We build your tax plan during the year, project your liability before December, and then prepare your business and personal returns from that plan. Planning and preparation are one service handled by one team, so nothing gets lost between the strategy and the return. We can also work alongside your current CPA if you want to keep them for your reviewed or audited statements.
ENTITY STRATEGY

How your company is structured and how you pay yourself can move your tax bill more than any single deduction. We review whether your S corporation, partnership, or holding company setup still fits, set reasonable compensation that holds up to IRS scrutiny, and balance salary, distributions, and retirement contributions. We also check how each choice affects the equity and working capital your surety looks at, so saving tax never costs you bonding capacity.
ACCOUNTING METHODS

Contractors have accounting method choices most businesses do not. Depending on your size and contract types, you may be able to use the completed contract method, cash, or accrual for tax while still giving your surety GAAP statements. We also time equipment purchases around Section 179 and bonus depreciation, and check whether your work qualifies for credits like the R&D credit. The right method can legally defer tax and keep more cash in the business for your next job.
