Lafayette Tax Preparation Services
Strategic, Accurate Tax Support for Lafayette’s Oil & Gas Industry, Healthcare Workforce, Contractors, University Employees, Investors & Small Business Owners
Lafayette is the heart of Acadiana, and its tax challenges are shaped by energy sector employment, healthcare systems, UL Lafayette employees, contractors, remote workers, service industry employees, and real estate investors.
Because Lafayette sits at the intersection of oil & gas, trades, healthcare, and small business, taxpayers here frequently experience multi-layered income streams that require expert-level filing.
Lafayette residents commonly manage:
- W-2 income from oil & gas companies
- Healthcare W-2 (Lafayette General, Our Lady of Lourdes)
- UL Lafayette faculty & staff income
- 1099 contractor or oilfield services pay
- STR/LTR rental properties across Acadiana
- Capital gains from Louisiana real estate
- Remote work for out-of-state employers
- Multi-income households (W-2 + 1099 + rental)
- K-1 partnership income
- Agriculture or rural land income
- IRS letters from incorrect past returns
- Pension + SSA planning
Lafayette’s economic backbone includes:
- Oil & gas field workers & engineers
- Pipeline, rig & service contractors
- Healthcare professionals
- University of Louisiana at Lafayette staff
- Real estate investors
- Restaurants, hospitality & service workers
- Remote tech/corporate employees
- Transportation & trucking
- Local small businesses
- High-income dual-earner families
This mix requires high-accuracy Louisiana tax strategy, not simple filing.
