Tax Help for Centreville Residents and Business Owners
Centreville clients tend to have more complex returns: government contractors and tech workers with W-2 income plus consulting 1099s or RSUs vesting through the year, small business owners along the Centreville Road corridor dealing with payroll and owner draws, and families with rental properties or multiple income sources.
Centreville is in Fairfax County. Businesses there file their BPOL business license with Fairfax County, not Prince William County. The rate schedules and thresholds are different. If you are not sure which county your business is registered in, that is worth clarifying. Most clients work through the Verifyle secure portal. In-person appointments at the Manassas office are available.

Common Tax Situations in Centreville
If you are not sure which service fits your situation, the Common Tax Problems page explains the most frequent issues in plain English.
Many Centreville residents contact LMN Tax because their tax situation has grown more complicated than standard software can handle: a mix of W-2 and 1099 income, RSUs vesting at an employer, a side business, or a rental property added to the picture. Others are small business owners who have been managing on their own and have run into a BPOL question or an IRS notice they are not sure how to address. The Common Tax Problems page is a good starting point if you are not sure what category your situation falls into.
Common situations: IRS Notice Help • Business Structure Confusion • Self-Employed Tax Confusion
Frequently Asked Questions
Can LMN Tax help if I am behind on taxes or received an IRS notice?
Yes. LMN Tax handles IRS notices, back taxes, unfiled returns, payment plans, and audit situations for Centreville clients. All work is available remotely through the Verifyle secure portal if you prefer not to travel to the Manassas office. See also: IRS Notice Help.
I run a business in Centreville. Do I have local business license tax obligations?
Yes. Centreville is in Fairfax County, which administers its own Business, Professional, and Occupational License (BPOL) tax with its own rate schedule, thresholds, and renewal process — separate from Prince William County's system. If you are unsure whether your business is compliant, or whether you are filing under the correct county, LMN Tax can review your situation alongside your broader federal and Virginia state tax preparation.
I am a government contractor in Centreville with complex income. Can LMN Tax handle that?
Yes. Government contractors often have a combination of W-2 income from their primary employer, 1099 consulting income from side work, restricted stock units (RSUs) or stock options vesting at varying points in the year, and multiple retirement account contributions. These combinations require attention to withholding, estimated tax payments, and capital gains timing.
LMN Tax handles returns with multiple income types and can help ensure you are managing withholding and quarterly estimated payments correctly so you are not caught with a large balance due at filing. If you have been under-withheld in prior years and received a penalty, that is also something Nausheen can address. Source: IRS Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax.
What tax services are available for Centreville businesses?
All five core services are available to Centreville businesses: individual tax preparation, small business tax preparation, IRS problem resolution, bookkeeping and payroll, and business tax advisory. All services are handled directly by Nausheen Shahid, the founder and principal of LMN Tax Inc.
How is Fairfax County BPOL different from Prince William County BPOL?
Both Fairfax County and Prince William County require a business license based on gross receipts — this is the BPOL tax — but the thresholds, rates, and specific business categories differ between the two jurisdictions. Fairfax County administers its own rate schedule and renewal process separate from Prince William County.
If you have recently moved your business from one county to the other, or if you are not certain which county your business is registered in for local license purposes, that is worth clarifying before your next renewal date. Filing or paying under the wrong jurisdiction can create compliance issues that are easier to correct early. LMN Tax can discuss your situation alongside your broader tax preparation.
