HOA Tax Return & Tax Preparation Services
Professional HOA Tax Return Services
Specialized HOA Tax Preparation Services
Dealing with homeowners association tax returns can be overwhelming. It requires someone well-versed in tax matters and the unique HOA taxation specifications. Regrettably, most HOAs do not have the experts to address the association’s tax obligations. Here’s where our HOA tax return services come in. Our objective is to make your HOA taxation process as easy as possible. We provide astute HOA tax preparation services to ensure your association complies with legal and regulatory requirements.
Our HOA tax preparation is systematic for improved accuracy and prompt filing. Firstly, we will review all your financial reports. We will gather all relevant records and check them for accuracy and completeness. The next step is determining what tax forms to fill out to ensure your association qualifies for tax savings. From there, we calculate your association’s estimated tax dues and decide whether to file them electronically or manually.
Condo Association Tax Return Services
HOAs and condo associations do not have similar tax obligations. The only similarity is that they must all file tax returns. While HOAs can file Form 1120 or Form 1120-H, most condo associations are only eligible for Form 1120. They fall under section 277 of the IRS Code and must file Form 1120 as a corporation. We can help your association determine its exempt status and whether it qualifies for tax benefits.
Condo associations also collect fees and other monies from the community. Capital expenditures and revenue from membership fees are taxable. Qualifying expenses, such as maintenance and operational costs, are tax deductible. Our experts at Abel Accountants can help your association reduce tax liabilities and maximize tax benefits through our expert condo association tax return services.
