8(a) & Set-Aside Tax Help
Tax Help Built for 8(a) & Set-Aside Small Businesses
Your customer is the federal government. Your tax team should know how the government works.
Owners of 8(a) and other set-aside small businesses live under two sets of rules at once: the IRS's and the SBA's. Your tax returns, financial statements, and payroll filings are not just compliance paperwork — they are evidence the SBA uses to decide whether you keep your certification, your contracts, and your pipeline.
Why This Matters Right Now
The SBA has dramatically tightened oversight of the 8(a) program. In late 2025 it ordered every 8(a) participant — about 4,300 firms — to produce three years of financial documents, and in early 2026 it suspended more than 1,000 firms that failed to respond. Admissions standards have tightened as well. For set-aside owners, clean and current tax records have never mattered more.
How We Help
- 8(a) & SBA compliance: annual review packages, responses to SBA document demands, and continuing-eligibility support built on accurate returns and financial statements.
- Contractor tax preparation & planning: business returns (1120, 1120-S, 1065) and the personal returns the SBA reviews for disadvantaged owners, plus estimated tax planning for lumpy contract revenue.
- IRS audits & problem resolution: audit representation, back taxes, liens, and levies — handled by former IRS agents who know exactly how the process works from the inside.
- Certification guidance: an honest, experienced read on 8(a) and other set-aside eligibility and the financial records you will need before you apply.
