Tax Preparation Services in Rhode Island
Rhode Island’s most comprehensive tax preparation for contractors, healthcare workers, educators, creatives, service-industry workers, remote employees, real estate investors, retirees, and small business owners — serving Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, and the entire state.
WHY RHODE ISLAND RESIDENTS NEED SPECIALIZED TAX PREPARATION
Rhode Island is small — but the tax problems here aren’t.
It has one of the most complex and diverse income landscapes in New England, especially compared to its size.
Most Rhode Island taxpayers juggle multiple income sources, including:
✔ Healthcare W-2s with differential, bonuses & shift variations
✔ Contractor/1099 trades income
✔ University & academic income (Brown, RISD, PC, JWU)
✔ Creative & freelance income (artists, musicians, designers, filmmakers)
✔ Remote-worker W-2s from MA, NY, NJ, CA, WA, TX & nationwide firms
✔ STR/LTR rentals in Providence County, East Bay & South County
✔ Hospitality income (tips + multi-job W-2s)
✔ Manufacturing/technical W-2s
✔ K-1 partnership distributions
✔ Capital gains on RI/MA real estate
✔ Pension + Social Security stacking
✔ Multi-W-2 household income
✔ IRS notices from rental, contractor, multi-state, or academic issues
Rhode Island residents need high-level, multi-industry, multi-stream tax strategy, not basic filing.
