It's not uncommon for tax returns filed in previous years to have mistakes on them. Maybe you missed some deductions or credits, maybe you forgot to report some income, or maybe there's other material issues with how the return is reported. We'll consult with you to let you know what the tax impact of amending the return will be, the risks and benefits of amending (or not amending) so that you can make an informed decision.
If the decision to amend your return is made, we'll step you through the process and let you know what to expect. Finally, we'll ensure that any items that will impact future tax years are accounted for on subsequent tax returns.
We'll start by examining the return that may need to be amended. We'll provide you with a list of considerations and a recommendation as to whether it makes sense to amend the return in question.
We'll prepare and submit a Tax Power of Attorney that will allow us to correspond with the tax authorities on your behalf.
We'll prepare the amended tax return and ask any clarifying questions that may arise along the way.
We'll discuss with you the results achieved and next steps to put the issue behind you once and for good. We'll let you know what to expect along with the anticipated timelines.
While your business is unique, it's unlikely that you're in an industry we haven't served. Below are a few of the industries we have deep experience with.
I’m very satisfied with the service provided by Mark Kuca. I don’t usually leave business reviews (I’m basically a review hermit), but their effort and professionalism were exceptional. If you’re a small business owner looking for honest, reliable, high-quality service, I highly recommend him.
After years of feeling underwhelmed by every tax professional I worked with, we finally found Chris Ries at Dark Horse. We did a wide search for a CPA who could handle both our business and personal needs. Chris stood out from the start. He's not just deeply knowledgeable about tax law - he's genuinely thoughtful and strategic in how he applies it to your specific situation. What truly sets Chris apart is how responsive and engaged he is throughout the entire year. Our strategy sessions allowed us to get ahead of issues long before tax season, which made the whole process significantly smoother and less stressful.
You won’t find a more reliable, honest, or trustworthy CPA to work with than Mark. I would give this company more than five stars if I could. Highly recommend him and his services.
Earlier this year, I was presented with the opportunity to purchase a company in San Francisco and needed a highly qualified business and tax accountant to guide me through the process. After many interviews, I was introduced to Chris and the Dark Horse team—and I’m extremely glad I was. Chris has been consistently responsive, deeply knowledgeable in corporate taxes, and generous with his expertise. He’s taught me a great deal, always looks out for my best interests, and approaches his work with both professionalism and integrity. I am 1000% satisfied with his services—and on top of that, he’s genuinely a great human to work with. My experience with Dark Horse was so positive that I also hired a fractional CFO through them, Susan Snowden, who has been equally impressive. I highly recommend Chris and the Dark Horse team. If you’re looking for smart, trustworthy professionals who truly know their stuff and care about their clients, you won’t go wrong with Chris or Susan.
Provides great service. Very professional. Very responsive to questions and inquiries. Very punctual, I would highly recommend their services.
