Federal and California individual tax returns for Cupertino residents — RSU vesting, ISO and NQSO exercises, K-1 pass-through income, and self-employment schedules handled accurately by Bill or Hannah.
Cupertino residents have among the most complex individual tax returns in California — RSU vesting, ISO/NQSO exercises, K-1 pass-through from closely held businesses, and California's top marginal rate. We handle all of it.
Cupertino's high concentration of Apple employees and tech professionals means RSU income and stock options appear on nearly every return. We calculate cost basis, AMT exposure, and ensure accurate Schedule D reporting.
For Cupertino S-corp and LLC owners, we prepare both the entity return and your personal 1040 together — K-1 flow-through, QBI deduction, and owner compensation all handled correctly.
California taxes RSU income, capital gains, and stock compensation at up to 13.3%. We calculate CA basis adjustments, schedule CA modifications, and ensure your FTB return minimizes double-taxation.
We calculate your Q1–Q4 safe harbor estimates so you never face an underpayment penalty. Especially important for Cupertino business owners with variable equity income.

RSU income is reported as ordinary income on your W-2 in the year shares vest. We ensure the correct amount is included in your gross income, calculate the cost basis for any shares sold, report capital gains on Schedule D, and reconcile brokerage 1099-B statements against your W-2 to prevent double-taxation.
California taxes ISO exercises as ordinary income (no favorable capital gains treatment), unlike federal treatment. For NQSOs, California taxes the spread at exercise as ordinary income at up to 13.3%. We analyze your equity events, calculate CA tax exposure, and advise on ISO exercise timing to manage your California liability.
Yes. Many Cupertino residents receive W-2 income from Apple or another tech employer and also operate a consulting LLC or side business. We prepare your full 1040 including Schedule C for self-employment income, SE tax, and the QBI deduction if your side business qualifies — alongside your W-2, RSU, and other income items.
For Cupertino LLCs, S-corps, and partnerships, we prepare both the business return and the owner's 1040 together — coordinating K-1 income, QBI deductions, and equity compensation for the lowest combined tax bill.
