Frequently Asked Questions — CPA in Washington D.C.
How much does a CPA cost in Washington D.C.?
A standard CPA in Washington D.C. 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 Washington D.C.’s state income tax rate?
Washington D.C. has a top income tax rate of 10.75%. For business owners and investors in Washington D.C., 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 Washington D.C.-specific deductions.
Do I need a CPA or a tax strategist in Washington D.C.?
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 Washington D.C.?
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.
