Rundlett & Associates, Inc. in Carlsbad combines tax preparation with forensic accounting on Palmer Way in the Poinsettia corridor, drawing on a background that includes federal auditing with the United States Congress. IRS audit-defense engagements build on that congressional audit experience, with complex multi-year amended returns coordinated alongside Carlsbad tax specialists including Rockwater Associates when industry-specific knowledge is needed. Practice areas extend to business-entity selection, structuring LLCs, S-corps, partnerships, and professional corporations, plus 1031 like-kind exchange documentation and depreciation-recapture analysis. Mortgage-qualification tax returns for homebuyers in south Carlsbad align with lending teams such as BluPrint Home Loans near the Batiquitos Lagoon border. The forensic-accounting division reconstructs financial records from incomplete documentation, producing court-admissible schedules under California Evidence Code Section 1523 standards.
