Morgantown WV Tax Preparation Services
Strategic, High-Accuracy Tax Support for WVU Faculty, Students, Healthcare Staff, Contractors, Remote Workers, Energy Employees, Investors & Retirees
Morgantown — home to West Virginia University (WVU) — has one of the most complex tax ecosystems in the entire Appalachian region. With a massive student population, large university and research workforce, strong healthcare systems, extensive contractor/trades activity, significant energy-sector employment, a growing remote-work population, and huge STR/LTR rental demand, Morgantown residents rarely have straightforward returns.
Most Morgantown taxpayers manage multi-stream income, including:
● WVU W-2s (faculty, staff, researchers)
● Academic income (stipends, fellowships, assistantships, grants)
● Student-related income (scholarships, taxable aid, part-time work)
● Healthcare W-2s with differential & multiple locations
● Contractor/1099 income (construction, trades, gig work, consulting)
● Energy-sector W-2s (utilities, extraction services, contracting)
● Remote-worker income from PA, VA, DC, TX, CA & nationwide employers
● STR/LTR rentals due to WVU student housing demand
● Multi-W-2 household income
● K-1 partnership income
● Capital gains from WV/PA/OH real estate
● Pension + Social Security integration
● IRS notices triggered by academic, rental, contractor or multi-state errors
Morgantown requires a tax firm that understands academia, student issues, rentals, contractors, healthcare, energy payroll, multi-state remote work & multi-income household planning.
