Frequently Asked Questions
-
How often should I update my tax strategy?
We recommend reviewing your tax strategy at least annually, and more frequently if you experience significant life or business changes such as starting a business, expanding operations, purchasing property, adding employees, or changes in tax laws. At Stancil CPA, we proactively monitor tax law developments and help clients adjust strategies throughout the year to minimize surprises and maximize opportunities.
-

-
Can Stancil CPA assist with out-of-state tax issues?
Yes. We assist individuals and businesses with multi-state tax matters, including state income tax filings, nexus considerations, payroll and sales tax questions, and apportionment issues. Whether you operate in multiple states or have employees, investments, or rental properties outside North Carolina, we help ensure compliance while identifying planning opportunities.
-
How do you ensure compliance with changing tax laws?
Our professionals stay current through continuing education, active involvement in professional organizations, technical research, and ongoing training. We closely monitor federal and state tax law developments and apply current guidance to our clients’ situations. This allows us to provide timely recommendations and help clients remain compliant while adapting to legislative changes.
-
What records should I keep for tax season?
You should maintain organized records of income, expenses, bank statements, payroll information, investment activity, charitable contributions, and supporting documentation for deductions or credits claimed. Businesses should also retain accounting records, invoices, receipts, payroll reports, and prior tax returns. Keeping accurate and complete records throughout the year helps streamline tax preparation, supports compliance, and reduces the risk of issues during an audit or tax review.
