Income Tax
The tax code is very complicated and convoluted. This is not news to you, I’m sure. Even for individuals with relatively “simple” returns, the rules and reporting requirements change constantly. Do you really have time to keep up with all of that?
Tax preparation is my core business. I spend a lot of time and resources making sure that I know taxes and can optimize my clients’ tax returns. I even offer recommendations for tax savings as part of my tax preparation service.
Types of Returns Prepared Most Frequently
Here are the types of tax returns I commonly prepare:
Individual – Forms 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ
Corporate Forms 1120 for S & C Corporations
Non-Profit Forms 990 and 990-PF
Trust returns - Form 1041
My services do not end on April 15th. I am here year-round in case you have a question, you need a document, or you receive a notice from the IRS or another taxing authority.
Here are some examples of the services I offer:
Suppose something changes in your life that affects your income and your taxes. I create multi-year tax plans to show you how those changes will affect your tax situation and what you can do about it.
Imagine getting a notice in the mail from the IRS. A lot of people will pay whatever the IRS says they owe because it’s easier, even though they may not owe anything. Now imagine you have somebody you can call who will read the notice, figure out what has to be done, call the IRS, and help you solve the problem.You may need a copy of your tax return, your property tax bill, your W-2, or some other document. If you cannot find it, I can retrieve it from my files, because I keep electronic copies of all tax returns I prepare and supporting documentation that you have provided me.
Payroll
Payroll is a big commitment. Many small businesses do not realize the volume of paperwork and forms associated with administering payroll. Outsourcing your payroll is cost and time effective. I take care of all the time-consuming administrative tasks, including check processing and printing, W-2 processing, and up-to-date quarterly and annual payroll tax filing—eliminating the need for a full-time payroll specialist. You also do not need to worry about changing payroll laws; I stay up-to-date on ever-changing mandates to ensure compliance.
