St. Johns County ZIP 32080 IRS Enrolled Agent

Serving St. Augustine Beach from St. Augustine

St. Augustine Beach sits on the north end of Anastasia Island, just across the 312 bridge from the city we are based in.

Short-term rental ownership is unusually concentrated here. So is the small-contractor economy that supports it — cleaners, property managers, pool and landscape crews, and remodelers working the A1A Beach Boulevard corridor.

What we focus on for St. Augustine Beach clients

Short-term rental taxation, the material-participation and passive-activity rules that decide whether rental losses are deductible, cost segregation on beach properties, and Schedule C versus S-corp elections for the trades that service them.

Every engagement starts the same way: we take the time to know and learn more about you and your business, so that we can help you earn more money and save more money in the long run. Whether you are near A1A Beach Boulevard, the St. Johns County Ocean Pier and Anastasia State Park or elsewhere in St. Johns County, the work is the same — accurate books, a return that is right, and a plan for the year ahead.

Why St. Augustine Beach clients work with an Enrolled Agent

Ashley J. Trimboli is an IRS Enrolled Agent — the highest credential the IRS awards — and a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with public accounting experience since 2002. Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants, have unlimited practice rights: unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can represent clients before.

Practically, that means one person can prepare your return, plan the following year, represent you if the IRS has questions, and keep your retirement and estate planning pointed in the same direction. For a St. Augustine Beach household or business, that is usually the difference between a filing service and a working relationship.

What tax issues come up most often in St. Augustine Beach?

Short-term rental taxation, the material-participation and passive-activity rules that decide whether rental losses are deductible, cost segregation on beach properties, and Schedule C versus S-corp elections for the trades that service them.

Do I need to travel to St. Augustine if I live in St. Augustine Beach?

No. Many St. Augustine Beach clients work with us entirely remotely — documents, reviews and planning conversations are all handled without a drive. If you would rather meet in person, call (904) 501-4345 and we will arrange it.

Is an Enrolled Agent as qualified as a CPA for my taxes?

For tax matters, yes — and the credential is federal rather than state-issued. Enrolled agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards. Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants, have unlimited practice rights: unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can represent clients before.

Does Florida charge state income tax on St. Augustine Beach residents?

No. Florida imposes no personal income tax and no state estate or inheritance tax. That makes federal planning the entire game — and makes the year you establish Florida domicile particularly important if you moved here from a state that does tax income. We handle both the final return in your former state and the planning that follows.
