1040 tax focus
Built Around the 1040 Individual Return
Most of our clients are self-employed individuals and small business owners whose tax situation lives on the 1040. We specialize in the schedules that matter most to you.
Self-Employment Income
Sole proprietors, independent contractors, and service-based business owners. We track every deductible expense and ensure your net profit is accurately reported — and minimized where the tax code allows.
Capital Gains & Losses
Investment dispositions, asset sales, and capital gain/loss netting. We ensure proper short-term vs. long-term classification and coordinate with your overall 1040 tax picture.
Rental & Pass-Through Income
Rental property income and expenses, S-Corp K-1 pass-through income, and partnership distributions — all properly reported and integrated into your individual return.

Service scope
What We Focus On
Sea Breeze Tax is a retail tax preparation office with a clear, focused scope. The following fall outside our services so we can stay excellent at what we do:
Corporate & business entity returns
We do not prepare 1120, 1120-S, or 1065 partnership returns — our focus is the individual 1040.
Standalone payroll processing
Payroll runs and payroll tax filings are not offered as a standalone service.
Sales tax tracking & filing
Sales tax compliance and state filing are outside our service scope.
Accounts receivable & payable
We do not manage invoicing, collections, bill payment, or AP/AR aging reports.
Bookkeeping Add-On Requirement
Clients who add bookkeeping services are required to maintain an active QuickBooks Online Simple Start subscription. This ensures accurate, real-time data and consistent record-keeping throughout the year.
QuickBooks Online Simple Start is available directly from Intuit. This subscription is the client's responsibility and is separate from Sea Breeze Tax service fees.
