Do I need a local New Jersey accountant, or is a remote service fine?
Federal tax law is federal, and modern bookkeeping is cloud-based, so a remote service is generally as effective as a local one, often more so, because you're not limited to the few firms within driving distance. For Jersey City, New Jersey-specific items (state filings, sales/use or franchise/excise taxes, PTET elections), we handle them remotely just like we handle the federal return.
