Personal Property

Complying with personal property tax filing requirements is a time-intensive, painstaking and costly accounting task. The rules for what is taxable and how to value the assets vary widely from state to state and sometimes vary within a state. There are hundreds and sometimes thousands of forms, depreciation tables, local deadlines, rules and regulations to follow.

To help you manage personal property compliance while keeping the tax exposure to a minimum, we maintain profiles for over 7,000 local tax jurisdictions.

We file returns in all 39 States and the District of Columbia that tax personal property, representing your interest throughout the entire process. In particular, our personal property tax services serve clients by:

• Classifying assets to maximize PP depreciation
• Scrubbing assets & identifying phantom assets
• Preparing & filing PP returns to jurisdictions
• Negotiating values with assessors
• Presenting formal appeals of excessive assessments
• Representing you in audit proceedings
• Securing, auditing and paying your tax bills
