Accounting & Tax Services in Fernley, NV
Fernley has grown from a small agricultural town into one of Northern Nevada’s fastest-expanding logistics and distribution hubs along the Interstate 80 corridor. Amazon, Walmart, and several third-party logistics companies operate major fulfillment centers in the Fernley Industrial Park, while Trex Company and other manufacturers have established production facilities drawn by Nevada’s tax-friendly environment and proximity to the Reno-Sparks metro. The city’s agricultural roots remain visible in the alfalfa, onion, and dairy operations along the Carson River irrigation district, creating a blend of modern logistics and traditional farming enterprises. With over 1,200 businesses and a population that has doubled since 2010, Fernley attracts entrepreneurs seeking lower commercial rents than Reno while maintaining easy I-80 access. SDO CPA serves Fernley distribution companies, manufacturers, and agricultural operators with specialized expertise in inventory accounting, multi-state sales tax nexus triggered by fulfillment operations, and depreciation strategies for warehouse equipment and farm machinery. For logistics operators managing cross-state shipping or farming families structuring generational land transfers, we provide bookkeeping and tax planning calibrated to Fernley’s hybrid industrial-agricultural economy.
Nevada Tax Planning Tip
Nevada has no personal or corporate income tax, but businesses with gross revenue exceeding $4 million are subject to the Commerce Tax (rates vary by industry, 0.051% to 0.331%). Nevada businesses should also track the Modified Business Tax on quarterly wages — currently 1.378% for most employers. S-Corp owners relocating from California should ensure they’ve properly severed California tax residency to avoid double taxation.
