What our customers are writing about us

The Businesses That Win in 2026 Are Planning Now, Not in April

2026 is the first full year under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. That means 100% bonus depreciation is back on equipment purchases, the 20% QBI deduction is now permanent, and the window to act on both closes before most business owners even open their shoebox of receipts.

Small business owners who call us in January get their return filed and walk away with a tax strategy that captures every 2026 law change working in their favor. Small business owners who call in March get their return filed and nothing else.

Most Reliable Small Business Tax Preparation in Lake Mary!

Many Lake Mary small businesses operate near bustling areas such as Timacuan Golf Club, Big Tree Park, Magnolia Plantation, and Liberty Park, where small business owners face many tax-related challenges, such as overpaying on taxes right now not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because nobody has ever looked at their full picture.

Wrong entity structure. Missed deductions. No quarterly planning. One bad April bill after another no explanation for why.

  • LLC owners clearing $60K+ net are often paying $8,000–$12,000 more than they need to in self-employment tax every single year
  • Equipment purchased qualifies for 100% bonus depreciation under the OBBBA if your return captures it correctly.
  • Missed deductions on home office, vehicle, software, and contractors add up to thousands every year
  • No quarterly estimates means a surprise bill plus IRS penalties every April.
  • A rushed return filed in the last two weeks of April misses what a thorough review would catch.

Our Core Services: What We Offer

Financial records designed for clarity, continuity, and control — not just data entry.

Payroll workflows built to deliver precision, consistency, and confidence with every pay cycle.

A structured tax approach focused on accuracy, risk reduction, and long-term compliance.

Unnecessary taxes paid by your LLC

As a sole proprietor or single-member LLC, you pay 15.3% SE tax on every dollar of profit. With an S-Corp election, you pay yourself a reasonable salary and only pay SE tax on that   not on your full profit. Stack the now-permanent 20% QBI deduction on top of that, and the difference for most Lake Mary small business owners lands between $8,000 and $12,000 per year.

We handle the IRS Form 2553, the state registration, the payroll setup, and the ongoing compliance. Most clients who make the switch save more in the first year than they pay us in total fees.

Not sure if you qualify? We run the numbers on your free consultation call no obligation.

Lake Mary Small Business Tax Savings Checklist

  1. To do your taxes right, you need to keep records of all your business expenses. This includes things like office supplies and utilities and travel and marketing.
  2. You should also track how many miles you drive and how you use your vehicle for business.
  3. It is an idea to separate your personal money and your business money by using different accounts.
  4. If you work from home, you might be able to claim home office deductions.
  5. You should look at what you pay for payroll and employee benefits to see if there are things you can deduct.
  6. When you buy things for your business, you can use something called Section 179 and bonus depreciation to save money on your taxes.
  7. It is also a good idea to contribute to retirement plans for yourself and your employees.
  8. You should look at your tax returns to see if you missed anything you could have deducted or any credits you could have gotten.
  9. Make sure you pay your estimated taxes every quarter so you do not have to pay a lot at the end of the year.
  10. It is an idea to get help from a professional tax preparer so you can make a plan and follow the rules all year.

Why Taxleaf Orlando Wins Specialized, Local, 2026-Current

Tax firms usually do all sorts of tax work. They do taxes and big company taxes. Lake Mary’s small businesses are unique. These businesses are run by their owners. They have to deal with cash flow issues. They also have home office deductions. Some have 1099 contractors working for them. Their income can go up and down depending on the season. The people who own these businesses also have to make decisions about what kind of business they want to be. A tax preparer who does not specialize in businesses may not notice these things. Lake Mary small businesses need someone who understands their tax needs. Tax firms that do everything may not be a fit for Lake Mary’s small businesses.

We built Taxleaf to answer one search better than anyone: tax preparation for small businesses in Lake Mary.

  1. Entity-Level Expertise An LLC taxed as a sole proprietor files differently from one taxed as an S-Corp and the difference often costs $8,000–$12,000 per year. We review your structure on every engagement and flag the move before another expensive year goes by.
  2. 2026 Law Applied to Every Return The OBBBA changed the game 100% bonus depreciation restored, QBI deduction made permanent, and the 1099-NEC reporting threshold raised from $600 to $2,000 for the 2026 tax year. We apply every change that works in your favor. Most preparers are still filing like it’s 2024.
  3. Deduction-First Preparation We don’t enter your numbers and submit. We review your prior return, go through your vehicle use, home office, equipment purchases, contractor payments, and software subscriptions—then document every deduction so it holds up if the IRS ever asks.
  4. We work with QuickBooks Online and Xero. We do this work directly inside your QuickBooks Online or Xero file because we are ProAdvisors. This means we do not have to export anything or re-enter any data. You do not have to give us a spreadsheet. We can get the information we need right from your QuickBooks Online or Xero file. This makes things faster and more accurate when we do your return.
  1. We have a client portal that you can use on your phone. For example, you can take a picture of a receipt. Upload it. You can also upload a bank statement. You can even sign your return on your phone. You do not need a printer. You do not have to come to our office unless you want to. We are always available to meet with you in person at our office in Lake Mary.
  2. Year-Round Tax Planning Filing is one day. Planning is the other 364. After we file your return, we calculate your quarterly estimates, flag mid-year moves, and check in before each deadline. You’re never caught short in April again.

Is professional tax prep worth it for a small business in 2026? More than ever. The OBBBA introduced permanent changes that create real opportunities but only if your preparer knows to apply them. DIY software files what you give it. We find what you haven’t given it and what your prior preparer missed.
