Long Island, NY · Local advisory
From Garden City and Melville to the Hamptons, Long Island combines professional firms, medical practices, real estate and family-owned businesses. Our New York office serves Nassau and Suffolk clients in person or by video.
What we handle
Long Island is in New York's Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District, so self-employed owners can owe the MCTMT, and pass-through owners should consider the New York PTET election. New York's estate tax has a sharp cliff for estates just over the exemption, which makes planning important for many families here.
Long Island medical practices, contractors, real estate investors and family businesses need tax planning, audits and succession advice. Owners of second homes and rentals in the Hamptons also need depreciation and residency planning.
