Our Services

Tax preparation and filing for individuals and businesses, backed by year-round planning and full IRS compliance — so your returns stay accurate, on time, and going strong year after year.

Tax Preparation

This is the heart of what we do. We prepare federal and state tax returns for individuals, self-employed professionals, LLCs, partnerships, S-Corps, and C-Corps. Our process goes beyond data entry — we review your full financial picture to identify deductions and credits you may be missing, ensure accurate reporting of all income and assets, and file on time to avoid penalties. Available for both resident and non-resident filers.

Ongoing Tax Returns

Taxes are not a one-time job. We keep your returns going year after year, so you never miss a deadline or fall behind. Once you are a client, we track your filing schedule, prepare each new return as it comes due, catch up on any prior years you still owe, and keep your records clean and consistent. You file once with us, and we keep it going from there.

Tax Planning

Effective tax planning means making strategic decisions throughout the year — not just at filing time. We work with individuals and business owners to analyze income, investments, and entity structures, identifying legal opportunities to reduce taxable income, defer liabilities, and align your financial activity with current IRS regulations. Our approach ensures you're never caught off guard at the end of the year.

New Company Registration

Starting a business in the U.S. requires more than filing paperwork — the right entity structure determines how you pay taxes, protect personal assets, and attract investors. We advise on LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, and partnership formations, handle state registration filings, obtain your EIN, and set up the accounting foundation your new company needs from day one. Available for both domestic founders and foreign nationals.

ITIN Registration

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number is required for any non-resident alien who needs to file a U.S. tax return, receive a refund from the IRS, or engage in business, investment, or rental activity in the United States. We prepare and submit Form W-7 with all required certified documentation, handling the full ITIN application process on your behalf so you can meet IRS deadlines without delays.

FIRPTA & Gambling Tax

We also handle specialized recovery work for foreign clients: reclaiming FIRPTA withholding on U.S. real estate sales and recovering the 30% tax withheld on casino winnings for non-residents. We run dedicated tools for both of these — see our separate FIRPTA site for full detail, or reach out and we'll point you to the right place.

Gambling Tax Withholding

Bespoke non-resident tax return processing ensuring rapid return of withheld casino winnings

Foreigners who win money at a casino in the United States may be subject to taxes on their winnings. However, many of these individuals may not be aware of their rights to reclaim a portion of those taxes.

Many foreign nationals are entitled to a refund of a portion of the withheld tax. To reclaim the tax withheld on casino winnings, the foreign national must file a US tax return. It's important to consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with US tax laws.

The Finkelshteyn Group has a team of tax experts who are well-versed in the laws and regulations pertaining to non-resident alien tax withholding on gambling winnings. We handle the entire process from ITIN registration to filing Form 1040-NR.
