Tax Preparation, Explained
Tax preparation is more than filling in forms. It means collecting the right documents, applying the current tax rules to your situation and filing a return that is accurate, complete and on time. We prepare individual returns (1040), estate and trust returns (1041), and returns for people who receive 1099 income, plus returns for partnerships and corporations.
How We Handle Tax Preparation
A professionally prepared return reduces the risk of costly mistakes, missed deductions and IRS notices. You get a personal review of your situation, someone to call when questions come up, and confidence that the return you sign is correct.

- Personal review of your income, deductions and credits
- Federal and state return preparation and e-filing
- Individual, 1041 and 1099 filers

Your Questions, Answered
Quick answers about tax preparation.
Which paperwork should I gather?
Typically your W-2s and 1099s, last year's return, records of deductions such as mortgage interest, charitable gifts and childcare, and any IRS letters you received. We'll send a checklist tailored to you.
Can you prepare my return online?
Yes. Upload your documents through a secure link and go over the finished return with us by phone or video.
Can you help if I owe and can't pay in full?
Yes. File on time even if you can't pay, then we can help you set up an IRS payment plan.
How long does it take to prepare my return?
It depends on how complex your return is and whether anything is missing. We'll give you a timeline once we have your documents.
Can I get an extension if I'm not ready?
Yes. We can file an extension to give you until October to file. It doesn't extend the time to pay, so we'll estimate what you owe and help you pay it on time.
Will you explain my return before it's filed?
Always. We go over the result with you, show what changed from last year and answer your questions before anything is sent to the IRS.
