Tax Preparation — Mountain View, CA

Tax Preparation in Mountain View, CA

B&H prepares federal and California tax returns for Mountain View businesses and individuals — including tech startups, S-corps, LLCs, and employees with Google or LinkedIn RSU income.

Mountain View Tax Prep That Goes Deeper

Mountain View's high concentration of tech employees, startup founders, and Google-adjacent businesses creates tax situations most preparers aren't equipped to handle — RSU vesting, R&D credits, stock options, and California's unique filing requirements.

Tech Employee Tax Complexity

RSU vesting, stock options, ESPP shares — we track cost basis, plan estimated payments around vesting events, and ensure correct withholding so Mountain View tech employees avoid large April surprises.

Business Entity Returns

S-corp, LLC, partnership, and sole proprietor returns — federal and California. We advise on salary vs. distribution optimization for S-corps and calculate the California minimum franchise tax properly.

R&D Credit Integration

Many Mountain View tech businesses qualify for the federal and California R&D credit. We identify qualifying activities, document expenses, and integrate credits into your annual return to reduce your effective tax rate.

Proactive Planning — Not Just Filing

We review your prior year return, identify missed deductions, and advise on moves to make before year-end — not after. Most Mountain View clients save more than our fee in year one.
