Why use a Professional Tax Preparer?
Most can fill out a return accurately either manually or with one of the many tax preparation software packages available . . . some as low as $25. These computer tax programs help assure avoiding calculation errors and some even offer electronic filing with direct deposit to your bank account.
But the help ends there.
As we prepare your return we often ask questions and check returns for oft forgotten or even sometimes unknown deductions or tax credits. We often (very often) find errors in W-2's, 1099's, mortgage and tax documents, IRS letters, etc. Furthermore we can assist you in ideas and tax saving ideas in tax planning. Since we have tax clients all over USA, we quite often get a call from a client with a question, we are considered a valuable resource. In our case if we don't know the answer, we know where to find out. We don't charge for this service for regular clients, we'll do the research, you leave the problem to us.
If you have a small business, rental property, are self employed, etc., there are many questions where answers are difficult to find in depreciation manuals, income necessary to be declared, expenses allowed, receipts to keep, methods to easily maintain records. . . this list if detailed would be very long.
Then there are judgment calls, does your tax return stand out for an audit? If you are one of the lucky ones to be randomly audited who will help you prepare?
And last are the letters and notices you may get even when your tax preparation is correct - telling you your taxes are not prepared correctly. It happens all to often. We are there to help you deal with the IRS as they correct their error. No matter how well informed you are, those notices from the IRS throw fear into you. You need someone to call.

To serve and satisfy your needs for each product and service we provide. Service is always with a smile and at a reasonable price.
