Hattiesburg Tax Preparation Services
Strategic, Accurate Tax Support for Hattiesburg’s Healthcare Workforce, USM Employees, Contractors, Remote Workers, Service Staff, Investors & Multi-Income Households
Hattiesburg is one of Mississippi’s fastest-growing tax markets — driven by the unique combination of:
- University of Southern Mississippi employees (faculty, staff, grad assistants)

- Contractors & tradespeople
- Service industry workers
- Military personnel & families (Camp Shelby nearby)
- Remote employees working for national companies

- Contractor/1099 income (construction, electrical, HVAC, landscaping)
- STR/LTR rental properties (common near USM and Midtown)

- Capital gains from rental or home sales
