Tax Preparation & Planning in Westchester County
Filing a return is the last step of good tax work, not the first. Since 1978, Cerullo LLC has prepared individual and business returns for Westchester County families and companies — and planned ahead so each year's result is a decision, not a surprise. From our Elmsford office we work with clients across White Plains, Tarrytown, Greenburgh, Yonkers, and the wider Hudson Valley.
Individual tax preparation
We prepare federal and New York State returns for W-2 earners, retirees, investors, landlords, and self-employed professionals. New York's layers — state, Yonkers and NYC resident taxes, and multi-state returns for commuters — reward preparers who work with them every day.
- Federal, New York State, and multi-state individual returns
- Equity compensation, rental property, and investment income
- Self-employment and single-member LLC (Schedule C) filings
- Amended returns and prior-year cleanup
Business tax preparation
Partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, and trusts each carry their own filing calendar and elections. We prepare the returns, track the deadlines, and coordinate the owners' personal returns so nothing falls between the two.
- Partnership (1065), S corp (1120-S), and corporate (1120) returns
- New York State pass-through entity tax (PTET) elections and filings
- Payroll and sales tax compliance coordination
- Estimated tax planning for owners
Year-round tax planning
The biggest tax savings happen before December 31, not in April. We meet with planning clients during the year to time income and deductions, review withholding and estimates, and model decisions — a home sale, a business purchase, a Roth conversion — before they're made.
IRS and New York State representation
If you receive a notice, an audit letter, or a balance-due assessment, we respond on your behalf — federal or state. Most notices resolve with a well-documented reply; when more is needed, we manage the examination from start to finish.
