Nashville accounting and tax firms serve health care companies, music industry clients, builders, newcomers to Tennessee and family businesses. Nashville accounting and tax firms count on ITServices.Tech for one managed IT service covering support, security, backups and planning.
Tennessee’s tax picture
Tennessee does not tax wage income, which draws many people moving from other states, but businesses pay franchise and excise taxes. After 2024 legislation removed the property measure from the franchise tax and allowed refunds, many firms spent the following seasons amending returns and tracking refund claims for clients.
Music and entertainment clients
Songwriters, artists, producers and publishers bring royalty statements from many sources, touring income across states and catalog sales. Secure portals, organized folders by client and income source, and strict access to high-profile client files protect privacy and save time.
Safeguards Rule and your WISP
The FTC Safeguards Rule requires tax preparers to keep a written information security program, and PTIN renewal includes a confirmation that the program exists. IRS Publication 5708 provides a model. We deliver and document the technical side, including two-step sign-in, encryption, updates and verified backups.
Health care company engagements
Audits and advisory work for health care companies can involve patient data and business associate agreements. Matter-based access, encrypted storage and logs of access keep that work compliant.
Carrier outages and busy season
The 2020 Christmas outage showed how one telecom failure can cut off a whole region. A second internet carrier, cloud copies of tax and document data and laptops ready for home use keep the firm working.
