North Carolina’s tax environment creates layered obligations for both individuals and small businesses. For example, Wake County combines a state sales tax of 4.75 percent with a 2 percent county add-on for a minimum 7.25 percent rate. In addition, property tax values were revalued in 2024 under the county’s regular revaluation cycle. A dual-licensed attorney and CPA like Mr. Dyson can address both the federal tax code and state-level rules from an integrated perspective. This saves clients time and money compared to coordinating multiple professionals.

What Clients Say

Clients of dual-licensed attorney-CPAs typically value the efficiency of working with one professional on interrelated matters. Reviewers appreciate the ability to get both legal and tax advice at a single consultation. In addition, estate planning clients specifically note the value of counsel who understands income tax consequences of trust structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of hiring a dual-licensed attorney and CPA?

A dual-licensed professional can address legal and tax issues from a single integrated perspective rather than coordinating separate advisors. For example, an estate plan’s tax consequences can be evaluated at the same time the trust is drafted. In addition, attorney-client privilege protects tax discussions in ways CPA communications do not, which matters during audits or investigations.

How does the Wake County 2024 property tax revaluation affect me?

Wake County conducted a countywide property revaluation in 2024, which likely increased assessed values for most homeowners. Consequently, tax bills rose unless the county rate was adjusted downward. Specifically, homeowners who disagree with the new assessment have a limited window to file a Board of Equalization and Review appeal with the Wake County Tax Administration office.

Where are North Carolina tax disputes heard?

Federal tax disputes typically proceed through the U.S. Tax Court or IRS Appeals office. North Carolina state tax appeals file with the Office of Administrative Hearings before moving to Wake County Superior Court for judicial review. In addition, property tax appeals start at the Wake County Board of Equalization and Review.
