Owners in Lexington
Higher-income owner situations
Where an owner runs a business, a rental and perhaps a side activity, each is kept apart and reconciled, and estimated tax payments are set aside as income arrives. See also Massachusetts bookkeeping and the higher-income Northeast towns.
What we focus on
- Owner pay planned and recorded the same way every month, whether you take a salary, draws or distributions
- Estimated tax payments set aside as income arrives, so the bill is never a surprise
- Each business, rental property or side activity kept separate and reconciled
- Records ready for your tax professional, including about any pass-through entity tax election your state offers
We keep the books and records. Tax advice and elections are for you and your tax professional.
