We believe that face-to-face interaction is the most effective form of communication, and we are very hands-on when it comes to working with clients. Staying current on every new federal, state, and local law gives us a decisive advantage over impersonal online tax services.

James R. Hurley, CPA Founder & President, JRH & Associates Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We prepare individual returns of every kind, from straightforward W-2 filings to complex returns with investment, rental, self-employment, and multi-state income, as well as business returns for LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps, partnerships, estates, and trusts. Everything is prepared and reviewed by an experienced CPA team and filed electronically.
Yes, and sooner is genuinely better. We pull your records together, prepare the missed federal and state returns, and deal directly with the IRS and New York State on penalties, including first-time abatement and reasonable-cause relief where you qualify. Falling behind happens to more people than you would think; the important part is getting compliant before the notices escalate.
It depends on your domicile and how many days you spend in each state, and New York examines this aggressively. Residency planning between New York and Florida is one of our specialties. We help clients document their domicile, apply the 183-day rules correctly, and structure the move so retirement and investment income are taxed the way the law actually allows.
Bring it to us before you respond. We represent clients through correspondence, office, and field audits with both the IRS and New York State, handle all communication with the agency, and work to reduce or eliminate penalties. We have not lost an audit in over ten years, and most notices turn out to be resolvable once the right documentation is presented.
Pricing depends on the complexity of the return, and we quote it up front after a free consultation, with services tailored to and priced for individuals and small to medium-sized businesses. Bring your prior-year return and any W-2s, 1099s, and business records you have; we provide a personalized checklist for the rest. Call (516) 794-5752 to set up your free consultation.
