B&H prepares federal and California individual tax returns for Mountain View residents — Google and LinkedIn employees with RSUs, self-employed contractors, freelancers, and small business owners. Accurate, on time, and personal service.
Mountain View residents often have more complex tax situations than the average Californian — equity compensation from Google, LinkedIn, Intuit, or a startup; side income from consulting; or investment property. We handle all of it.
RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, ESPP — Mountain View tech workers often have equity events that create large tax bills if not managed carefully. We plan your withholding and estimated payments proactively.
Many Mountain View freelancers and consultants work with Google, NASA Ames contractors, or Valley startups. We handle Schedule C, self-employment tax, and quarterly estimated payments.
California taxes equity compensation differently than the federal government. We know how to handle California's treatment of ISOs, RSUs, and stock sales to minimize your state tax burden.
Bill or Hannah prepares your return personally. You can call or email directly with questions — no tax prep chain, no anonymous preparer portal. We explain every line.

RSU vesting is treated as ordinary income in the year shares vest — subject to federal, California, and FICA taxes. Many Mountain View tech workers at Google or LinkedIn don't have enough withheld at vesting and owe at filing. We calculate your expected liability and set up estimated payments to eliminate surprises.
Yes. ISO exercises can trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax — especially for Mountain View employees who exercise options and hold shares. We run AMT projections before year-end so you can plan your exercise timing to minimize AMT exposure.
Absolutely. Self-employed Mountain View residents pay both the employee and employer portions of Social Security and Medicare — 15.3% on net self-employment income. We calculate your Schedule SE, identify all deductible business expenses, and set up quarterly estimated payments so you don't get penalized.
