Frequently Asked Questions — CPA in Delaware
How much does a CPA cost in Delaware?
A standard CPA in Delaware charges $200–$500/hour for tax preparation. Uncle Kam’s MERNA™-certified CPAs work on a strategy engagement model — you pay for the strategy session, and the savings typically exceed the fee by 10x–50x. Most clients save $15,000–$80,000 per year.
What is Delaware’s state income tax rate?
Delaware has a top state income tax rate of 6.6%. For business owners and investors in Delaware, the combined federal + state tax burden can exceed 40%. A MERNA™-certified CPA implements strategies to legally reduce this — including S-Corp elections, retirement maximization, and Delaware-specific deductions.
Do I need a CPA or a tax strategist in Delaware?
If you’re a W-2 employee with a simple return, a CPA or even tax software may be sufficient. But if you own a business, invest in real estate, have multiple income streams, or earn over $150K, you need a tax strategist — not just a preparer. Uncle Kam’s MERNA™ CPAs are both: licensed professionals who also implement proactive strategy.
What is the Augusta Rule and how does it apply in Delaware?
The Augusta Rule (IRC §280A(g)) allows business owners to rent their home to their business for up to 14 days per year — completely tax-free. For a Delaware business owner earning $300K+, this strategy alone can save $5,000–$25,000 per year. It’s one of the first strategies a MERNA™ CPA checks for every Delaware client.
