Tax Preparation in Minneapolis

Minneapolis taxpayers face more than just federal forms. You also need to account for Minnesota income tax, property tax refunds, and state-specific credits that can have a big impact on your bottom line.

Whether you’re filing a straightforward W-2 return, juggling multiple 1099s, or managing multi-state income, our Minneapolis tax preparation services combine thorough review with straightforward explanations. You’ll know what we did, why we did it, and what to expect next.

Minneapolis Small Business Accounting

Minneapolis is home to innovative small businesses—from tech startups and professional service firms downtown to creative studios and neighborhood shops. Sagacity offers small business accounting for Minneapolis owners who want more than basic bookkeeping. We help you stay on top of income, expenses, payroll entries, and cash flow so you always know where your business stands.


Our CPA-led bookkeeping and accounting services support day-to-day operations and long-term planning. We prepare clear financial reports, explain what the numbers mean, and coordinate your books with tax strategy so year-end filing is smoother and more predictable.

Frequently Asked Questions – Minneapolis Services


  • Do I need a CPA in Minneapolis, or can I use any online service?

    You can file using generic online tools, but a local CPA understands Minnesota-specific nuances—such as property tax refunds, state credits, and how local factors affect your return. A Minneapolis CPA like Sagacity also provides ongoing advice and can represent you if the IRS or Minnesota Department of Revenue ever has questions.

  • Where are you located in the Twin Cities?

    We are based in Oakdale, just east of St. Paul, and serve clients throughout Minneapolis–St. Paul. Many Minneapolis clients choose to work with us entirely virtually, while others prefer occasional in-person meetings—we’re flexible either way.

  • Can Sagacity help with Minneapolis city taxes or local filings?

    Yes. While Minneapolis does not currently have its own city income tax, there can be local sales tax or filing requirements depending on your situation. We’ll identify any city-specific obligations and make sure they’re handled correctly as part of your overall tax and accounting plan.

  • How do meetings work if I’m in Minneapolis?

    Most clients start with a phone or Zoom consultation, then use our secure online portal to share documents. If you prefer, we can also arrange in-person meetings at our office or at your Minneapolis location by appointment. The goal is to make working with a Minneapolis CPA as convenient as possible, while still giving you individualized attention.

  • Can I find a virtual accountant in Minneapolis who can still meet in person if needed?

    Yes—that’s exactly how Sagacity operates. We offer full virtual capabilities for clients who prefer online interaction, along with the option for local, face-to-face meetings when that makes sense. You’re not limited to one or the other.

Planning for Real People

Financial success looks different for everyone. We work with a wide range of clients, including military members, women in transition, and families planning for the future. Our goal is to provide clear, strategic advise that meets you where you are.
