OUR TAX SERVICES
Tax Preparation
Our tax preparation services cover both business and individual taxes, ensuring that all your needs are met under one roof. We take pride in our meticulous approach to tax preparation, leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that you take advantage of any available tax benefits. When you work with us, you can rest assured that your annual tax filings will be accurate and timely.
Business Services
As a business owner, it's essential to have professional experts that can assist with the formalities of starting or running your own company, including entity formation, filing of annual reports with the state, applying for business licenses, registered agent services, and filing of organizational documents.
General Excise Tax
We understand the nuances of Hawaii's General Excise & Use Tax (GET). We are one of only a handful of professionals who can take advantage of exceptions to this broad and complex tax liability. This tax is what state auditors refer to as low-hanging fruit. Unless you are absolutely confident that you can navigate this tax on your own, then we highly recommend utilizing our services for GET compliance.
Payroll Services
In addition to our tax preparation services, we also offer payroll services to small businesses with 1-5 employees. We specifically know how to work with S corporation shareholder-employees and help them with their reasonable compensation requirements. We handle everything from withholding calculations to payroll processing and tax filings. Let us take care of your payroll requirements so that you can focus on growing your business.
Audit Representation
If you are facing an audit, our Enrolled Agent can provide you with the representation you need. We will work with the IRS or state tax authorities on your behalf to ensure that your rights are protected. Our goal is to minimize any potential penalties or fines and to help you navigate the audit process with confidence. If you are unable to pay your tax bill, we can negotiate various solutions with the IRS up to and including an offer in compromise.
HARPTA Withholding
If you are selling real property and are a nonresident of Hawaii for tax purposes, you may be required to have 7.25% of the entire sales price of your property withheld. At Blackjack Tax Services, we will work with your real estate agent and escrow officer to file necessary documents to get your HARPTA withholding requirement reduced or eliminated. We can also help you get an early tentative refund from the Department of Taxation if you do not qualify for an exemption. Let us help you reduce your liability. We can bill through escrow, and if your property does not successfully close, we will waive our fee.
