Business in Plainfield
Plainfield is the largest city in our area and, unlike most of our nearby towns, is in Union County. It has two stations on the Raritan Valley Line, historic neighbourhoods full of older two- to four-family homes, and a busy mix of restaurants, salons, auto shops and small retailers. Many residents also commute toward Newark and New York.
What Plainfield clients usually need from us
- Landlords: rental income and expense records, depreciation on your buildings, and Schedule E on your personal return.
- Restaurants, salons and shops: cash and card reconciliations, sales tax returns and payroll, including tip reporting.
- Commuters with side businesses: combining W-2 and self-employment income, quarterly estimated tax payments, and a New York nonresident return if you work in New York.
- Families: federal and New Jersey returns, including checking eligibility for state property tax relief such as ANCHOR.

Frequently asked questions
I live in Plainfield and work in New York. Where do I file?
Usually both. You file a New York nonresident return for income earned there and a New Jersey resident return, where you can normally claim a credit for tax paid to New York so you are not taxed twice on the same income.
Can you do the accounts for my rental properties?
Yes. We keep income and expense records for each property, work out depreciation, and prepare Schedule E with your return.
