Why Lefferts Tax

Formation Services That Give You
Real Advice

Many online platforms simply file your paperwork. They can’t tell you which entity is best for your tax situation.; and state upfront that you;re on your own.  We can guide you because we have a legal and CPA  team. 

 

01

Tax Attorney Leadership

Every engagement is reviewed by our licensed tax attorney. You get a professional opinion on entity structure, not just a software recommendation.

02

ITIN Specialists

We prepare W-7 applications using certified copies of identity documents — fully virtual, no passport mailing required. Our attorney reviews every application before submission.

03

Non-Resident Expertise

We understand the compliance obligations DIY platforms miss — Form 5472, 1040-NR, treaty benefits, and EIN applications for non-SSN holders.

04

Ongoing Compliance Support

Formation is the beginning. Our team stays alongside you for annual reports, registered agent renewals, and US tax return filing.

"We don't just file the forms — we make sure you've chosen the right structure for your goals, your tax position, and your future plans. That distinction is worth far more than the filing fee.
