Sound familiar?
You want numbers you can act on during the year.
Current statements show how each month performed while there is still time to respond, not months later.
23% of the 2022 tax returns filed from the 8 ZIP codes that serve Columbus reported business or professional income (IRS Statistics of Income, individual income tax statistics by ZIP code, tax year 2022; the ZIP codes extend beyond Columbus).
Tax time shouldn’t be the first look at the year.
When the books are kept current all year, the return starts from numbers that are already reconciled.
Living or working across the state line
Columbus is in Muscogee County, which borders Alabama (U.S. Census Bureau county boundary files, 2023); about 6% of workers who live in Columbus work outside Georgia (American Community Survey 2019–2023 estimate; includes work in any other state).
Your return is no longer simple.
Investments, a rental property, a side business or income in another state. Brent prepares your federal and state returns and tells you up front what affects the price.
