Tax Prep & Bookkeeping in Pigeon Forge, TN

Seasonal and hospitality workers

Pigeon Forge runs on tourism, and a lot of people here work more than one job over a season. A few things to know when you file:

• Multiple W-2s, one return. Each employer withholds as if it were your only job. With two or three jobs, total withholding can come up short. Bring every W-2 and we'll check your withholding for next season.
• Tips are income. Tip income is taxable and should be reported. A federal law enacted in 2025 added a deduction for certain qualified tips and new reporting for them; we'll check whether it applies to you.
• Side gigs count. Off-season work paid on a 1099 (or in cash) is self-employment income. Once net earnings reach $400, self-employment tax generally applies.
• No state income tax return. Tennessee doesn't tax wages, so your return is federal only.

Bookkeeping for attractions, restaurants, and shops

Revenue on the Parkway can swing widely between peak weekends and the slow months. Monthly bookkeeping helps you:

• See whether the busy months are covering the slow ones
• Keep sales tax collections separate from operating cash
• Track seasonal payroll and contractor costs
• Have year-end numbers ready for your business tax return
