Last Updated:
Estate and Seasonal Resident Tax Specialists
Marco Island is one of Florida's most affluent coastal communities, attracting seasonal residents from the Northeast and Midwest, high-net-worth families managing trusts and estates, and foreign investors drawn to the Gulf Coast real estate market. The tax needs here are rarely simple.
We regularly handle estate income tax returns (Form 1041) for beneficiaries in the Hideaway Beach and Old Marco areas, FIRPTA withholding certificates for foreign sellers, and Florida residency planning for clients transitioning from high-tax states. Coordination with estate attorneys and financial advisors is a standard part of how we work.
For seasonal residents who spend part of the year in northern states, we document the 183-day Florida residency rule and handle multi-state filing where required. Every engagement is handled with the discretion this community expects.

Confusing tax codes
Federal rules change, Florida has its own quirks, and you have a business to run.
Overpaying every year
You suspect there are deductions you keep missing. You're probably right.
Fear of an IRS letter

Marco Island Tax Questions Answered
Common questions from our Marco Island clients.
Do you handle estate tax returns for Marco Island families?
Yes. We prepare fiduciary income tax returns (Form 1041) and estate tax returns (Form 706) for families in Collier County, including Marco Island. We coordinate with estate attorneys and financial advisors to keep the process efficient and compliant.
I own a property on Marco Island and I'm a foreign national. What are my tax obligations?
As a foreign national, you're subject to FIRPTA withholding on any sale, typically 15% of the gross sale price. We apply for withholding certificates (Form 8288-B) to reduce or recover that amount, and handle your annual non-resident rental income reporting if applicable.
Can you help with Florida residency planning for a Marco Island seasonal resident?
Yes. Establishing Florida residency to avoid out-of-state income tax requires meeting the 183-day rule and documenting your domicile. We help Marco Island seasonal residents compile the evidence, file the correct returns, and defend the residency if a prior state challenges it.
What tax planning should I do if I'm selling a Marco Island investment property?
Depending on how long you've held the property, we look at long-term capital gains rates, depreciation recapture, installment sale options, and 1031 exchange opportunities. For foreign sellers, FIRPTA withholding applies and a withholding certificate application can significantly reduce the immediate tax bite.
Can you help a Marco Island trust with its annual filing requirements?
Yes. Trusts with income-generating assets — rental property, investment accounts, or business interests — are required to file Form 1041 annually. We handle trust filings for Marco Island clients and work directly with the trustee or successor trustee.
