How Our Aviation Tax Consultants Can Help You

To ensure we provide you with the most effective tax preparation strategy possible, our team first determines whether your work and home locations are an issue. We take time to understand your needs and your situation. By working with our experts, you can ensure you claim all eligible deductibles and maximize all aviation industry benefits.

Our team understands that as an airline pilot, you are likely subject to multi-state tax filings. As EAs, our tax regulation expertise provides a deep knowledge base of past and present rulings to protect against various state tax issues. For example, we often use public law 91-569. This passed in the 1960s, giving more fiscal flexibility to aviation professionals. As aviation tax consultants, we are some of the few who know how to use specific laws when preparing your return.

Do Pilots Pay State Income Tax?

Whether you are a commercial or private airline pilot, you must pay state income taxes. As an aviation professional, you often need to file multi-state returns. Your earnings are taxed by your state of residency and any other state where you earn more than fifty percent of your pay. As an enrolled agent and retired pilot, John understands the financial and compliancy challenges you face regarding your single income source.

How JC Herren Co LLC Can help Pilots Understand Available Tax Deductions

Professional tax preparation for airline pilots has been our primary focus for the last 25 years. As such, we specialize in tax services and know-how to pinpoint possible deductions unique to you and your industry. We make sure you capitalize on all allowable deductions related to your profession, never having you pay more than what you owe.

Our team can help airline pilots make sense of available deductions such as:

• Business Expenses
• Moving Expenses
• Per Diem Reimbursements
• Hardship Loans from Retirement Plans
• Tax Levies
• And much more!

We are committed to providing you with the most comprehensive pilot tax preparation solutions possible. In addition to helping identify qualified deductions, we also take time to ensure you understand how to use aviation expenses to your benefit. This includes determining if you can write off a plane you own.

Helping You Navigate Through the Complexities of Multiple Incomes

At JC Herren Co LLC, you can count on us to assist you when you have multiple income sources. Perhaps you sell real estate or own rental properties in one or several states. Maybe you are ex-military and perform contract work for the national guard or air force. It is not uncommon for airline pilots to extend their expertise and start a side business or two.

The more income sources on your plate, the more complicated your tax needs become. Operating in multiple states or changing bases can also lead to increased issues. With all these continuous fluctuations, filing your income taxes needs expert attention.

Our team is well-versed in preparing and filing for complex tax situations. We can navigate you through the challenges while helping you save. By preventing mistakes and avoiding penalties, we can steer you clear of unwanted IRS attention. Our EAs also provide comprehensive tax relief if you should ever need it.
