WHY VERMONT RESIDENTS NEED SPECIALIZED TAX PREPARATION

Vermont looks peaceful and straightforward from the outside — mountains, small towns, clean air — but the actual tax environment is one of the most complex in New England.

Vermont taxpayers often manage multiple income types across different industries:

UVM & state university income (stipends, grants, fellowships, GA pay)
Healthcare W-2s with differential & multi-site hours
Contractor/1099 income (trades, carpentry, HVAC, electrical, trucking)
Creative/freelance income (artists, musicians, writers, designers)
Remote-worker W-2s from NY, MA, CA, WA, TX, CO
STR/LTR rental income (student rentals, downtown markets, ski-town investments)

Retiree income (pension + SSA + investments)
Agriculture/rural income (livestock, land leases, equipment depreciation)
Multi-W-2 households
Capital gains from Vermont real estate
K-1 partnership income
IRS notices triggered by rental, contractor, remote-worker or academic misclassification

Vermont requires multi-industry tax expertise, not generic filing.
