LBMC’s Tax Services

Federal Business

We will work closely with you to understand your business operations and identify tax issues and strategies necessary to meet your business goals. The complexity of income tax laws offers many opportunities for tax savings or tax deferrals. Because it is your right to employ every legitimate means to reduce your tax liability, we focus our tax services on insightful and timely tax planning advice.

State and Local

State and Local Tax needs are constant, recurring events. The impact of state taxation on businesses is complicated. Managing risk and identifying opportunities within state and local tax laws can be overwhelming. This evolving area of the law has created uncertainty on all sides regarding when you are taxable, how much income is taxable, or what is and is not taxable. On the bright side, complexity creates opportunity.

State and Local Tax Services

Credits & Incentives

To attract and retain growing businesses, state and local governments provide valuable economic incentives such as grants, tax credits, abatements and more. When your company expands, makes capital investments or adds new jobs, LBMC in partnership with McGuire Sponsel will guide you through the economic incentives process. Whether your company is opening a new location, relocating or expanding an existing facility, the LBMC/McGuire Sponsel team can drive value from investment and growth.

Credits & Incentives Services

Research and Development Credits

The research and development tax credit (commonly referred to as the R&D Tax Credit) practice conducts retroactive studies, current year engagements, and risk advisory services. Our professionals combine an understanding of tax law with engineering disciplines to maximize companies’ research credits and reduce their overall tax burdens. Your organization will be provided documentation to withstand the highest level of IRS and state tax authority scrutiny.

International Tax

Multinational companies and those considering expansion overseas face a growing number of international tax planning and compliance challenges. It can be nearly impossible to keep up with all the changing regulatory, legislative and tax requirements. Multinational businesses in real estate investment, distribution and manufacturing, technology and many other sectors can turn to our experienced team.
