Louisville CPA Services
Payroll withholding, business profits, and work performed outside Jefferson County can require different records. KAS helps Louisville employees and business owners separate those issues and coordinate local, Kentucky, and federal filings. We begin with the actual income and work history, then define the return preparation or advisory work needed.

Louisville Occupational Tax and Business Income Reporting
Review the business net profits filing independently
Louisville Metro’s guidance identifies a net profits return for business activity within Louisville/Jefferson County and does not provide a minimum earned-profit threshold before a filing obligation arises. We review the entity, activity, and current instructions, then reconcile the local calculation to the business books and income tax return. Louisville Metro tax forms and filing guidance.
Document work outside the jurisdiction
An employee with compensation connected to work outside Louisville/Jefferson County may have a refund question when occupational tax was withheld. The city provides Form W-1REE and supporting requirements. We compare workday records and employer reporting with those instructions before calculating a claim; a general estimate of travel time is not enough. Louisville employee occupational tax refund guidance.
Reconcile multiple roles within the household
A business owner may receive wages, business allocations, and investment income in the same year. We separate those streams, match payments to the correct account, and review the records required for each filing. This also makes the next tax projection useful when compensation, ownership, or work arrangements change.
How we scope the work
We start with the decision or filing you need to complete, the entities and people involved, and the deadline. After reviewing the available records, we identify missing information and propose the services and deliverables. For ongoing work, we establish a close and filing calendar so bookkeeping, tax projections, and owner reporting use consistent information.
For a review or compilation request, bring the lender, grant, board, or regulatory requirement. We confirm the engagement type and applicable professional requirements before accepting the work. Audits for Kentucky-based entities and Kentucky residents require a Kentucky CPA firm license, which KAS does not hold, so KAS does not accept those audit engagements. Review and compilation engagements for Kentucky entities are accepted where Kentucky rules allow.

Louisville CPA questions
Does payroll withholding settle the local tax on my separate business?
It should not be assumed to do so. Louisville’s employee withholding and business net profits reporting address different income and filing responsibilities. We reconcile both accounts and review the business activity before determining what remains to be filed or paid.
