Yes. We offer HOA tax filing as:

• A financial-only service

• Or as part of a full management agreement

Self-managed associations frequently use us solely for tax preparation.

Yes. Even though most HOAs are organized as nonprofit corporations, they are still required to file annual tax returns. “Nonprofit” status does not automatically mean tax-exempt.

Failure to file can result in penalties, interest, and compliance issues.

In general:

• Member assessment income is typically considered exempt income (if structured properly).

• Interest income, late fees, rental income, and other non-dues revenue may be taxable.

We review all revenue sources — including reserve transfers and interest earnings — to determine proper classification.

Typically, we require:

• Year-end financial statements

• Balance sheet

• Income statement

• Bank statements (if needed)

• Prior-year tax return (if available)

If we manage your association, we already have the required records internally.

We can review prior-year compliance, identify any missed filings, and help bring the association current.

The sooner this is addressed, the better — penalties and interest can accumulate over time!

Many HOA management contracts are nearing expiration or renewal. Don’t miss the opportunity to consider management changes that may be needed! Request a copy of your management contract and conduct a thorough review with your Board of Directors to explore options for terminating the agreement if desired.

Evaluate the length of the contract carefully. Determine the duration—whether it's one, two, or three years—and whether it automatically renews (often referred to as “evergreen”). Understand the renewal periods and terms.

If your HOA wishes to terminate the contract, understand the notice requirements. Determine whether 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days' notice is required and whether the notice must be given before the effective date of termination. Be aware of how the notice should be delivered—whether by regular mail or certified mail.

Additionally, identify any potential termination penalties. Determine if there are fees or costs associated with early termination of the contract.

Understanding the specific terms of your HOA management contract empowers board members to make informed decisions for the association. Consult with our team or an HOA attorney for further guidance on reviewing and understanding your contract.
