"This firm is absolutely fantastic! I had income from both Pennsylvania as well as Massachusetts and my taxes were more complex this year than ever before. I also have a four person LLC for window and door installation. This company helped me get both my books together as well as my tax returns. I have been using them for four years now and have been very happy ever since." -Rocky Millwood, Google Review

Capital Gains for San Jose Individuals

Individual taxpayers in San Jose have a heavier and more persistent problem. RSU sourcing follows California services past state lines. The state taxes capital gains as ordinary income and refuses to conform to the federal QSBS exclusion. A move to Nevada or Texas does not end the exposure. We have managed these cases since 2008, and the sourcing disputes are the ones that cost the most when they arrive late

San Jose Business Tax Certificate Runs Outside the FTB Calendar

Most operators don’t hire a CPA in San Jose until after the 90-day window has already closed. The Business Tax Certificate is not an afterthought. Registration must happen within 90 days of starting operations, the calculation runs on employee count, and city penalties accrue on a track that Sacramento never prompts. Hotel operators carry a second layer: San Jose’s Transient Occupancy Tax totals 10% of room rent, split across two Municipal Code chapters. Our CPA San Jose team handles all of it together: Business Tax Certificate registration FTB entity compliance R&D credit documentation Equipment depreciation Multi-state apportionment for North San Jose hardware and software firms

RSU Vesting and FTB Sourcing for San Jose Tech Workers

The FTB follows the income, not the forwarding address. RSUs that vested while you performed services in San Jose remain taxable in California after a move to Nevada, Texas, or Washington. California taxes long-term capital gains as ordinary income and does not conform to the federal QSBS exclusion under IRC Sections 1202 and 1045. Taxable income above $1,000,000 triggers an additional 1% Behavioral Health Services Tax. This applies to: Tech founders W-2 earners with large vesting schedules Part-year residents who assumed relocation closed the exposure
