Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a CPA cost in Madison, NJ?

Individual returns start at $350, flat fee and listed on the pricing page; business-return fees are quoted in writing. Madison returns often add equity compensation or a dual-state commute on top of the basics, and those pieces are priced as named line items in the quote. You approve the full number before any work happens.

I commute from Madison to New York City. How are my taxes affected?

Madison residents working in NYC must file both a NJ resident return (NJ-1040) and a NY nonresident return (IT-203). New Jersey provides a credit for taxes paid to New York, and NJ residents are exempt from NYC's city income tax. If you work a hybrid schedule, you need to carefully track days in each state because New York's Convenience of the Employer rule can tax your work-from-home days as NY income.

How does the SALT cap affect Madison homeowners?

Madison's average residential property tax bill is around $15,897 per year (NJ Division of Taxation municipal averages, cited as of this page's 2026 review). The SALT cap is $40,000 for 2025 and $40,400 for 2026, subject to applicable eligibility and phase-down rules. For an eligible pass-through entity, BAIT may change entity and owner calculations. Any deduction, credit, or return effect is fact-specific and no result is promised.

Does Monaco CPA help with RSU and stock option tax planning for pharma executives?

RSUs, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options can create different wage, AMT, basis, and sourcing rules. Under an accepted written scope, Monaco CPA may address tax-return treatment and calculate estimated-payment or withholding effects from client-supplied facts. Monaco CPA does not recommend exercise timing, sales, holdings, or investment strategy, and no result is promised.

What is the NJ exit tax and how does it affect Madison homeowners?

A sale while becoming a nonresident may involve an estimated NJ Gross Income Tax payment at closing under the applicable GIT/REP rules. This is general education only; the forms, exemptions, and amount depend on the facts and current NJ guidance, and no outcome is promised.

Does Monaco CPA work with university faculty at Drew or FDU?

University faculty can have W-2 wages, sabbatical pay, consulting income, royalties, and research-grant reporting questions. Under an accepted written scope, Monaco CPA may address federal and NJ tax-return treatment from client-supplied records. No classification, deduction, credit, or tax result is promised.
