Personal Services Taxes

During the tax filing season all returns go through an interview, preparation and review process with two CPAs involved. Once we have all the information in house, we try to provide a quick turn around. We can handle all states and cities which require returns and we can process your returns electronically.

Accumulatively, we have over 80 years of individual tax preparation experience. Our tax organizers stimulate questions which try to cover all tax situations and avoid oversight. Through the course of the interview, we offer ideas and suggestions regarding tax savings and issues.

Planning

“I’m proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is, I could be just as proud for half the money.” That is a quote Arthur Godfrey once playfully boasted.

The key to paying “half the money” or at least minimize what your pay is in the planning. We offer year-round planning assistance, not just at “That time of the year.” In fact, all the borrowing, spending, and investing you do the entire year affect the bottom line at tax time.

We will review withholding issues, family and dependent issues, investments, business considerations, IRA’s, Keoghs, and many more.

Preparation

Paul Anderson once said, “I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.” I believe this summarizes today’s tax system. As simplifications are attempted, the more complex our tax system becomes.

Even if you use the so called “do-it-yourself” tax software, your taxes can still be calculated incorrectly, costing you, not the tax software company. The reason, no set of trained, human eyes are there to recognize when things just do not “look” right. For example, accidentally entering the wrong information to calculate depreciation correctly, or transposing dollar figures, overstating the income for a vacation home you rented. A software program will not “catch” these types of errors, but careful examination by a trained professional can.

We will prepare your tax return and review it, and then before it is returned to you for review, it will be rechecked by another highly trained professional.

Problem Resolution

Along with complicated tax laws comes the bureaucracy and standardized procedures of the IRS. With those standardized procedures comes standardized letters, sent out any time information is incomplete, wrong, or missing. Sometimes these letters can be confusing and if ignored, will continue to get worse.

We are available to help in any of the following areas:

    • Non-filed returns
    • Back taxes
    • IRS Audit
    • IRS Liens
    • IRS Levies
    • Offer in Compromise
    • Payment Plans
    • Wage Garnishment
    • Innocent Spouse Relief
