Burlington VT Tax Preparation Services
High-Accuracy Tax Support for Burlington’s University Workforce, Healthcare Staff, Remote Workers, Contractors, Creatives, Investors & Retirees
Burlington is Vermont’s economic, academic, and lifestyle hub — and easily one of the most tax-complex cities in New England. With a massive University of Vermont (UVM) presence, a large healthcare workforce, surging remote-worker inflow, growing contractor/trades activity, a booming creative + freelance economy, and strong rental demand, Burlington residents almost never have simple returns.
Most Burlington taxpayers manage multi-source, multi-industry income, including:
● UVM W-2s, stipends, grants & fellowships
● Healthcare W-2s with differential pay
● Remote-worker income from CA, WA, NY, MA, TX, CO
● Contractor/1099 income (construction, trades, creative, consulting)
● STR/LTR rentals in Downtown, Old North End, South End & Winooski
● Creative + gig economy income (photographers, artists, designers, musicians)
● Capital gains from VT real estate
● Multi-W-2 household income
● K-1 partnership distributions
● Pension + Social Security stacking
● IRS notices triggered by rental, remote-worker, academic, or contractor errors
Burlington requires expert knowledge across academic income, healthcare differentials, remote-worker sourcing, contractor frameworks, creative income, rentals & retiree optimization.
