Frequently asked in Fort Lauderdale

Do I need a tax preparer near me in Fort Lauderdale, or can I work with you remotely?

I work on boats and get paid in cash and 1099. Can you handle that?

We do. Marine income in South Florida is often a mix of 1099s, cash, and per-diem, with port and charter work crossing into foreign waters. We sort the self-employment income, the expenses, and the reporting so the return holds up and the IRS letters don't follow. It's everyday work for the Broward Desk.

I got a CP2000 notice. What does that actually mean?

A CP2000 is the IRS computer saying the numbers on your return don't match what was reported to them — usually a 1099, a W-2, or a brokerage statement. It is not an audit and it is not a bill. In most cases it's a mismatch we resolve with a written response and the right documentation. Don't ignore it, but don't lose sleep over it either.

I have family overseas and accounts here. Do I need to report the foreign accounts?

If the aggregate value of your foreign accounts crossed the reporting threshold, yes — an FBAR is separate from your tax return and the penalties for ignoring it are sharp. We file the FBAR alongside the return, report the foreign income correctly, and claim the foreign tax credit where it applies. South Florida is where this comes up most; we handle it every week.
