What documents do I need to bring for my tax preparation appointment?

To ensure a smooth and accurate tax filing, please bring the following documents:

  • Personal Identification: Driver’s license, Social Security cards for you and your dependents.
  • Income Documentation: W-2 forms (wages), 1099 forms (freelance or contract income), 1098 forms (mortgage interest), and any other income-related statements.
  • Deductions and Credits: Receipts for charitable donations, medical expenses, mortgage interest, property taxes, student loan interest, educational expenses, and childcare costs.
  • Previous Year’s Tax Return: This helps us identify carryover items such as credits or deductions.
  • Other Supporting Documents: If applicable, bring information about retirement contributions (IRA, 401(k)), unemployment benefits, and any other sources of income or deductions.
How much do your tax preparation services cost?

Our fees are based on the complexity of your tax situation. Simple individual returns, such as filing a basic W-2, may cost may vary. More complex returns, such as those involving business income, itemized deductions, or rental properties, may range may vary, please call. We provide a free initial consultation to assess your needs, after which we will provide an accurate quote. For businesses or self-employed individuals, rates vary depending on the services required, such as bookkeeping or tax planning.

When is the deadline for filing my taxes?

The deadline for filing individual tax returns is typically April 15th each year. If this date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline may be extended to the next business day. If you are unable to file by the deadline, you can request an extension, which gives you an additional six months (until October 15th). However, please note that while an extension gives you more time to file, any taxes owed are still due by the original deadline, and penalties and interest may apply for late payments.

Can I file my taxes if I missed the deadline?

Yes, you can still file your taxes after the deadline. However, if you owe taxes, you may incur penalties and interest. The longer you wait to file, the higher the penalties may be. If you are due a refund, there is no penalty for filing late, but the IRS generally only allows refunds within three years of the filing deadline. It's always best to file as soon as possible to minimize any penalties or interest.

Can I e-file my taxes through your service?

Yes, we offer e-filing for all eligible tax returns. E-filing is the fastest and most secure way to submit your tax return to the IRS. It also speeds up the process of receiving any refund you may be due, as refunds for e-filed returns are typically processed in 10-21 days. We will file your return electronically and ensure you receive an email confirmation once it's submitted. If you prefer, we can also provide paper filing for those who need it.

Can you help me with tax planning or year-round tax advice?

Yes! We offer tax planning services throughout the year. Tax planning involves looking ahead at your income, deductions, and tax situation to help minimize your tax liability. This can include strategies for retirement savings, investment planning, charitable contributions, and business deductions. We also offer consultations if you need advice on major life changes (such as getting married, buying a home, or starting a business) that may affect your taxes. Our goal is to ensure you're not only compliant with tax laws but also taking advantage of opportunities to reduce your tax burden.
