Ask a question

Do you have accountants who serve Warwick?

Yes. BATS serves clients in Warwick and across Rhode Island. We work through secure online meetings, e-signatures and an encrypted document portal, so you get a dedicated advisor without visiting an office.

Can you prepare my Rhode Island state return?

Yes. We prepare Rhode Island resident, part-year and nonresident returns along with your federal return, and file them with the Rhode Island Division of Taxation.

How much does tax preparation cost in Warwick?

It depends on the forms involved, the number of states and how organized your records are. After a short consultation we give you a written quote, so you know the cost before any work starts.

Do you work with small businesses in Warwick?

Yes. We handle bookkeeping, payroll, business returns and year-round planning for Warwick businesses, from sole proprietors to multi-owner companies.

Does Warwick have sales tax?

Yes. Rhode Island charges sales tax, and local rates can add to the state rate. We help Warwick businesses register, collect the right rate and file returns with the Rhode Island Division of Taxation.

Can you run payroll for employees in Warwick?

Yes. We register your Rhode Island payroll accounts, run payroll on schedule and file federal and state payroll returns, including unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding.

How do I pay estimated taxes as a Warwick freelancer?

You make quarterly federal payments with Form 1040-ES and, because Rhode Island taxes income, state estimated payments too. We calculate both and send reminders before each due date.

I'm moving to or from Warwick. What changes?

You may need part-year returns for each state you lived in, and your withholding and estimated payments may need updating. We handle the move-year filings and set you up for the new state.

Yes. We pull your IRS transcripts, prepare the missing returns, request penalty relief where possible and set up a payment plan for any balance.

Yes. With your authorization we deal with the IRS directly, prepare the response and represent you through the process.
