Fort Lauderdale is the economic powerhouse of Broward County, home to a thriving international business community and one of the world's busiest cruise ports. Our firm brings specialized knowledge of the industries that drive this city's economy.
From marine service companies near Port Everglades to creative agencies in Flagler Village, law firms on Las Olas, and hospitality businesses along the beach, we tailor our tax approach to the specific demands of each industry operating in Fort Lauderdale.
Unlike national tax chains that shuffle you between different preparers each year, we assign you a dedicated tax professional who learns your financial history and goals. We do not just prepare your taxes once a year. We build a year-round relationship that helps you make smarter financial decisions every month.
Fort Lauderdale businesses collect 7% sales tax, which includes the 6% Florida state rate plus 1% Broward County discretionary surtax. Certain categories like commercial rentals and amusement operations have additional considerations. We help businesses register, file, and stay compliant.
Florida has no state income tax, but if you earn income in or maintain residency in another state, that state may require a return. We help seasonal Fort Lauderdale residents establish and document Florida domicile to avoid double taxation, and we prepare multi-state returns when needed.
Key strategies include maximizing Section 179 and bonus depreciation deductions, optimizing owner compensation through an S-Corp structure, contributing to a retirement plan like a SEP-IRA or Solo 401(k), timing income and expenses around year-end, and taking advantage of applicable tax credits. We customize the approach to your specific situation.
Contact us immediately. Do not respond to the IRS directly. We will review the audit notice, determine the scope, gather supporting documentation, and represent you throughout the process. Most audits are correspondence audits that can be resolved through written responses, but we are fully prepared for in-person examinations as well.
In addition to Fort Lauderdale, Atlantic Tax & Accounting proudly serves clients throughout Broward County and the surrounding region. We offer both in-person and virtual appointments to make expert tax help accessible no matter where you are located. Our client base extends across South Florida, and we regularly work with individuals and businesses who need a tax professional familiar with multi-county operations and cross-jurisdictional compliance.
