Businesses and People.
Blue Slate Accounting is a full-service provider of tax solutions for both individuals and businesses in the Pittsburgh region and western Pennsylvania. Whether you have a question on how to file your taxes correctly or need to navigate the intricacies of an IRS audit, we can help. Our team is made up of Certified Tax Professionals and an IRS Enrolled Agent, meaning we have training on the federal level to deal with the toughest IRS issues—while still having the knowledge to deal with tax woes on the State and Local level.
Experts in Tax Preparation Services
We specialize in getting you the most money you’re legally entitled to. This often becomes difficult for the typical citizen to figure out on their own, as many new tax regulations, benefits, and penalties are introduced every year. We stay on top of understanding the emerging tax regulations so you don’t need to.
Self-employed
As a freelancer or small business owner, you have plenty of responsibilities on your plate. Navigating the complexities of 1099s and Schedule Cs to file your federal taxes doesn’t need to be one of them. Our Pittsburgh-based tax professionals at Blue Slate Accounting limit your tax burden while keeping you compliant with the IRS every step of the way.
Personal
Countless individuals file their taxes themselves every year on paper or with tax software, not realizing that they are missing out on golden opportunities to reduce their tax burden—and they’re losing money in the process. In addition, they’re opening themselves to tax penalties if they make a mistake or accidentally claim a credit they don’t qualify for. Our personal tax preparation services ensure you get the most money possible on the federal, state, and local levels.
Corporate
A member of the National Association of Tax Preparers, Blue Slate Accounting is always up-to-date on the latest tax code changes and compliance standards. That’s good news for our clients, as every business needs an experienced, professional accountant and
veteran tax preparer to file their corporate taxes.
Tax Representation
At Blue Slate Accounting, we believe good people shouldn’t get in trouble for innocent tax issues. That’s why we help people defend themselves from IRS notices. Having been in this business for so long, we’ve seen many events beyond a client’s control trigger these notices. These include:
- The IRS made an error
- A taxpayer was in a catastrophic accident and was unable to file their federal tax return in time
- A taxpayer made an honest mistake on their federal tax return
- A taxpayer owes more on their federal taxes than they are reasonably capable of paying
You don’t have to battle the IRS alone. As an IRS Enrolled Agent, Lauri Paxton can guide you through the IRS mediation process to ensure you have all the resources necessary to defend yourself against the IRS. If necessary, we can enroll you in the IRS’s Fresh Start Program to allow you to pay off your taxes over multiple years instead of making one lump sum payment.
The Benefits of an IRS Enrolled Agent
IRS Enrolled Agent Lauri Paxton has earned the trust of
the Internal Revenue Service by passing a three-part comprehensive IRS test for individual and business
tax returns. As a result, Lauri Paxton is equipped to represent both individuals and businesses anywhere
in the United States and its territories before the
Internal Revenue Service.
