Tax season in Santa Clarita shouldn't mean dropping your paperwork into a chain-store conveyor belt and hoping for the best. At Joshua's Tax & Accounting Services, your return is prepared by Josh himself — in English or Español — with the time to ask the right questions and find the deductions a rushed preparer misses.
Whether you're a Valencia family with a W-2 and a rental, a Canyon Country contractor with 1099 income, or a Newhall small business filing a Schedule C or an S-corp return, you get personal, year-round service, not a once-a-year transaction.
Tax preparation for Santa Clarita individuals & families
Most Santa Clarita households leave money on the table because their preparer never asked. We prepare and file:
- Federal & California (FTB) individual returns — Forms 1040 and CA 540
- Itemized vs. standard deduction — we run both and file whichever saves you more
- Self-employment & gig income — Schedule C for rideshare, delivery, freelance and the trades
- Rental property — Schedule E, depreciation, and the deductions landlords forget
- Investment, crypto & capital-gains reporting
- Credits that matter locally — Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Credit, education credits, the CA Renter's Credit
- Prior-year & amended returns — behind on a year? We'll get you caught up.
Small-business & self-employed tax preparation
Santa Clarita runs on small businesses, and small-business taxes are where good preparation pays for itself. We handle:
- Sole proprietors & single-member LLCs (Schedule C)
- Partnerships & multi-member LLCs (Form 1065 + K-1s)
- S-corporations (Form 1120-S) and C-corporations (Form 1120)
- Quarterly estimated taxes so April is never a surprise
- Entity & owner returns coordinated so nothing falls between the cracks
- Year-round planning — the conversations that actually lower next year's bill
