Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a CPA cost in Paramus, NJ?

Individual returns start at $350; business-return fees are quoted in writing. Published amounts are starting points, not quotes. The actual fee depends on the accepted written scope, return and entity types, jurisdictions, forms, transaction volume, and record condition. The accepted scope and fee are confirmed in writing before work begins.

I commute from Paramus to New York City. Do I need to file in both states?

Whether a Paramus resident must file NJ and NY returns depends on residency, each jurisdiction's current filing thresholds and conditions, actual NY-source wage allocation and convenience-rule facts, and withholding. Any Schedule NJ-COJ credit depends on the current rules for qualifying tax paid to New York on the same income. An accepted written engagement may include multistate return components; no filing, allocation, credit, or savings result is promised.

What is the SALT cap and how does it affect Paramus homeowners?

The SALT cap is $40,000 for 2025 and $40,400 for 2026, subject to applicable eligibility and phase-down rules. The return effect depends on tax paid, filing status, MAGI, itemization, and the standard deduction. Under an accepted written scope, Monaco CPA may calculate the alternatives from client-supplied facts; no deduction or result is promised.

Does Monaco CPA prepare FBAR and FATCA filings for foreign bank accounts?

No. Monaco CPA does not prepare, coordinate, or advise on FBAR, FATCA, treaty, foreign-account, or other international-tax matters. These topics are education only and must be handled independently by an international-tax specialist.

I own a retail business near the Paramus malls. Is the BAIT election relevant to a store like mine?

BAIT allows an eligible pass-through entity to pay NJ tax at the entity level and may change federal and NJ entity and owner calculations. The result depends on the complete returns, QBI, credits, entity costs, and current timing rules. Monaco CPA may accept a written comparison for an already-formed entity; the client monitors and transmits any election or payment, and no result is promised.

Can Monaco CPA help with NJ Stay NJ and senior property tax relief?

Stay NJ, Senior Freeze, and ANCHOR have separate eligibility, income, residency, and benefit rules. Monaco CPA may explain published return-reporting information under a written scope, but does not administer applications or promise eligibility or a benefit. Clients apply directly through the responsible state program.
