About Us

---

   We reduce tax liability through careful  planning and legitimate tax strategies. We don’t fight the IRS rules, we  use them to our advantage. Our goal is to help you structure your  finances and deduct the cost of doing the things that you already enjoy.  This can include visiting your favorite places or buying a vacation  home. Each client’s tax situation is different. At Beach Cities we pride ourselves on taking the time to get to know our clients and  develop a long term strategy to make more of your current expenses tax  deductible. We use these tax deductions to reduce your taxable income  and lower your tax bill. It’s that simple.

Our deduction lists are extensive and  tailored toward each taxpayers individual occupation. These deductions  are used to maximize your business expenses and reduce your taxable  income. Once your tax is determined we compare the benefit of taking tax  credits over certain itemized deductions. We file your taxes based on  the most favorable application of the rules.  All tax returns are  electronically filed at no additional charge.

The system works. It usually results in a  significant reduction in tax liability and an increased refund. We also  offer suggestions to help reduce your future tax liability. Deferring  income through certain investments, such as pension plan contributions  or IRA plans are an excellent option. It is also possible to shift  income or expenses from one year to another, which could result in being  taxed at a lower overall tax rate. We also encourage opening a  legitimate home based business in a field that you enjoy. It sounds  difficult, but it’s simple. We can easily guide you through the process.

Remember, we work for you not for the IRS. Our job is to keep your money in your pocket, not Uncle Sam’s. Call Beach Cities and let us get started on your plan today!

Audit Representation

The IRS can be relentless when they are trying to settle your tax debt. They will     seize your home, property, bank accounts and retirement savings to satisfy your past     due taxes. The government’s current financial situation has resulted in the IRS stepping     up audits to include a greater number of middle income families. These audits often     result in an unfair assessment of additional taxes, penalties and fees. Did you know     that you NEVER have to appear before the IRS personally? We can step in and deal     with the IRS on your behalf, without you ever having to appear before the IRS or     speak with a revenue agent directly. 

If you owe the IRS, you have a very serious problem. Garnishments, liens, levies     and seizures are often part of the collection process. Some taxpayers try to represent     themselves against an experienced IRS Revenue Agent, whose only job is to collect     taxes and assess additional penalties.  An innocent comment during an audit can result     in substantial tax assessments and the loss of the ability to take certain deductions.     The audit process is inherently slanted in the governments favor. You should take     advantage of every option available to you   Once the process starts, you only have     a short time to respond before permanent assessments occur. An immediate response     is necessary.

If you are having problems with the IRS, we're here to help. We will put an end to     your tax problems and get your life back on track. We will file back tax returns,     set up a payment plan, amend your past returns, write up an “offer in compromise”     and possibly settle your tax debt for substantially less than you owe. There are     occasions when an amended tax return could  potentially reverse a tax assessment     and get you a refund. Our services are affordable, efficient and we will settle your     case as quickly as possible. The IRS will not go away. Your penalties and interest     compound daily. Call Beach Cities and let us help today!
