Questions
Questions from Douglas County clients
Have a question that is not answered here? Book a consultation and ask us directly.
I drive for a delivery service in Douglas County as an independent contractor. Can you help with my taxes?
Yes. Contractor income usually arrives on 1099 forms with no tax withheld, so planning matters. We help you track mileage, vehicle costs, phone and other business expenses, estimate what to set aside during the year and prepare your tax returns. If you want to grow into a small delivery business with your own drivers, we can also help with entity setup documentation and hiring paperwork.
Can I work with GAP Consulting if I am in Douglas County?
Yes. Clients throughout Douglas County meet with us virtually through our online scheduler or in person at our Midtown Atlanta office at 730 Peachtree St NE, Suite 570, by appointment. Most of the work, from tax preparation to business planning, happens the same way wherever you are in the county.
Who issues business licenses in Douglas County?
It depends on your address. A business inside the limits of a city in Douglas County generally gets its business license, sometimes called an occupation tax certificate, from that city. A business in unincorporated Douglas County generally gets it from the county. We help you confirm which applies and keep renewals on your calendar.
Where do Douglas County homeowners apply for a homestead exemption?
Homestead exemptions are applied for through Douglas County, usually with the county tax assessor or tax commissioner. The county sets its own process and filing window. We help you find the right office for your home and organize the documents it asks for, alongside your tax and real estate records.
