WA B&O and Sales Tax Report

The State of Washington has two types of taxes that must be reported on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis to the Washington Department of Revenue. The one that most people are familiar with is the sales tax. As a business owner, you may be required to collect sales tax from your customers and remit those taxes to the state. The other tax is a tax on the gross receipts of your business. It is called the Business & Occupation tax and is required of all businesses. There are several categories with different tax rates, depending on your business activities.

Account Sense PLLC can complete your B&O and Sales Tax Report for you. This can be done with paper forms, or by e-filing.

Personal Property Tax Returns

If you have a business, you are responsible for reporting and paying taxes on the personal property that you own. Most of you are familiar with the property taxes we pay on our real property, but few are familiar with the tax on personal property.

These taxes are assessed by the county where the property is located. If you have started a new business, you may need to contact the county where you’re property is located so that they can provide you with the initial Personal Property Tax Return.

What is personal property? This can vary by county. But, basically it is the furniture and equipment you use in your business. It is not the inventory that you sell, but the items used in your business.

Account Sense PLLC can prepare your Personal Property Tax Return. We’ll just need to discuss the items of personal property used in your business. Often it is easiest to do this while preparing your income tax return because they report similar information.

E-File And Direct Deposit

Account Sense PLLC provides e-file and direct deposit of your refund with no additional cost when we prepare your taxes. We do this because we strongly support the e-file system. We have found that it is more accurate, it’s faster, and you receive a receipt that the IRS has received your tax return.

In addition to direct deposit, there are electronic means of paying your tax liability. Would you like to file your taxes today, but not pay until April 15th? No problem, with the electronic withdrawal program, combined with IRS e-file, we can prepare your taxes today and the IRS won’t take the money you owe them until April 15th.

Also, you can now pay your tax liability with your credit card. This is a great way to get free air miles for your tax liability. Who knew that taxes could be a good thing? There is a small fee associated with the payment by credit card, but it is a great option for those that don’t want to have the money taken directly from their bank account.
