Bespoke CPA Advisory for Dublin’s Growing Business & Remote Tech Profile
As one of the fastest-growing cities in Northern California, Dublin sits at the vital crossroad of the I-580/I-680 corridor in the Tri-Valley. It is home to a booming commercial center, medical offices, local services, and a dense population of high-income tech engineers and managers who commute to Silicon Valley or work remotely.
From restructuring sole proprietorships and LLCs via our LLC to S-Corp tax conversion hub to deploying the California AB 150 PTE tax workaround, we help Dublin business owners eliminate excess self-employment taxes. We also protect tech equity for Dublin residents working at companies like Google, Meta, and Apple using targeted RSU cost basis adjustments across Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Livermore.

- The Income Event: A Dublin-based remote tech consultant nets $340,000 in independent 1099/LLC income.
- The Tax Burden: Pays 15.3% self-employment tax on the entire net profit plus gets hit by the federal $10,000 SALT deduction limit.
- Moontree CPA Fix: We execute an S-Corp conversion with an audit-proof officer salary split, make the CA AB 150 PTE election, and reinvest into rental property utilizing cost segregation bonus depreciation.
- The Result: Saves ~$11,800 in self-employment taxes and captures ~$10,200 via the SALT workaround—totaling over $22,000 in annual tax savings!

Frequently Asked Questions for Dublin Taxpayers
Does Dublin require a city business license for remote consultants and home-based businesses?
Yes. The City of Dublin requires anyone operating a business, independent consultancy, or S-Corporation out of a Dublin residence or commercial office to maintain an active City Business License. The tax is calculated based on business classification and gross receipts generated.
How can Dublin S-Corporations bypass the federal $10,000 SALT deduction limit?
By electing into the California AB 150 Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax, eligible Dublin S-Corporations and LLCs pay an elective 9.3% state tax directly at the business entity level. This converts state income tax into an above-the-line federal business deduction, completely bypassing the personal $10,000 SALT cap.
Why do brokerage 1099-B forms show $0 cost basis for tech equity sold by Dublin employees?
Federal tax law prohibits stock custodians from automatically adjusting cost basis on Form 1099-B for non-statutory equity awards. Custodians report gross sale proceeds and leave basis blank or at $0. We pull your Supplemental Statements to manually adjust your cost basis to fair market value at vest on IRS Form 8949 to prevent double taxation.
