As such, we are able to recognize and re-discover our profound innate potential.
Combined with this inner work, we learn to abide by the natural law of karma, which strengthens our confidence that we are the creators of our own reality and that there’s no karma that can’t be changed.

PRISM Tax Intelligence

Taxes are complicated enough. Findin

PRISM Tax Intelligence

PRISM Tax Intelligence is an independent Brooklyn tax practice providing individual tax preparation, tax planning, projections, and help with IRS and state tax issues. We work with straightforward returns as well as more complicated situations involving self-employment, investments, capital gains, retirement income, equity compensation, multiple states, amended returns, and tax notices.

PRISM combines experienced tax judgment with modern technology to help identify what matters, explain the numbers clearly, and catch issues before they become filing-season surprises. Clients work directly with the tax professional handling their situation. We focus on clear communication, transparent pricing, and practical answers without unnecessary complexity. PRISM also works with clients throughout the year when a financial decision may have tax consequences, including estimated payments, withholding, investment transactions, retirement decisions, business income, and major life changes. Tax preparation starts at $175. Tax planning starts at $150. Introductory consultations are free. Need a return prepared or have a tax question? Contact PRISM and tell us what you’re dealing with. We’ll tell you whether we can help and what the next step looks like.
