Our tax preparation fees are form-based, which means the cost depends on the number and types of tax forms needed to complete your return. Because every tax situation is different, we do not use one flat fee for all returns.

We offer a free 30-minute consultation to review your tax situation and help determine what will be needed to prepare your return.

The documents you need depend on your individual tax situation. We provide a Tax Check List to help you gather the information that may be needed.

Generally, you should bring identification and all tax documents that apply to you, including:

• A valid driver's license
• Social Security Card, ITIN, or ATIN information
• Your two prior-year tax returns
• W-2s and applicable 1099s
• Health coverage documents, such as Forms 1095-A, 1095-B, or 1095-C
• Investment and brokerage statements
• Rental income and expense information
• Self-employment income and expense information
• Documents supporting deductions or tax credits

Our Tax Check List also identifies other documents that may apply depending on your situation, such as mortgage interest, charitable contributions, higher education expenses, student loan interest, child care information, and certain solar or EV documents.

If you had a new baby, we will also need a birth certificate. If your spouse passed away, please bring a death certificate. We will let you know if additional documentation is required for your particular return.

Yes. Married taxpayers generally have the option of filing Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.

Which filing status is more beneficial depends on your individual tax situation. We can review your circumstances and help determine which filing status is appropriate for you.

It depends on the complexity of your return and how many forms are required. Some tax returns may be completed in about an hour, while more complicated returns may take several weeks.

Having all of your tax documents available when we begin can help avoid unnecessary delays.

The IRS generally issues most refunds within 21 days after an electronically filed return is accepted, although some refunds can take longer.

Your refund timing is controlled by the IRS or state taxing agency, not by our office. Certain credits, identity verification issues, errors, missing information, or additional IRS review can delay a refund.

Yes. We can prepare prior-year tax returns, including returns that were never filed.

We can also prepare state income tax returns for all 50 states, making it easier for clients who have lived, worked, owned property, or earned income in multiple states.

It depends on your individual tax situation, including whether you were required to file, whether you owe taxes, how late the return is, and whether penalties and interest may apply.

If you have unfiled tax returns, we can review your situation and help you determine what returns need to be prepared and filed.

Yes. We can prepare amended tax returns when a previously filed return needs to be corrected or updated.

Whether an amendment is necessary depends on your situation. For example, an amendment may be needed if income was omitted, a tax document was received after filing, your filing status needs to be corrected, or deductions or credits were reported incorrectly.

The standard deduction is a set deduction amount based primarily on your filing status and other eligibility factors.

Itemized deductions allow taxpayers to report certain qualifying expenses individually. Depending on the tax year and your circumstances, these may include qualifying medical expenses, mortgage interest, certain state and local taxes, and charitable contributions.

Generally, the deduction method that provides the greater allowable tax benefit is used, subject to applicable tax rules and limitations.

Not necessarily. Whether itemizing makes sense depends on your specific tax situation and the amount of your qualifying deductions compared with the standard deduction available to you.

In some situations, itemizing deductions may also provide a benefit on your state income tax return, even when the standard deduction is used for federal purposes.

We review the information you provide and determine whether taking the standard deduction or itemizing deductions is appropriate for your return.

Yes. We prepare tax returns for self-employed individuals and sole proprietors.

Self-employment business income and expenses are generally reported on Schedule C as part of an individual's federal income tax return. We can help make sure your business income and applicable expenses are properly reported.

Yes. We prepare tax returns for clients who own rental properties.

Rental real estate income and expenses are generally reported on Schedule E for individual taxpayers. Our Tax Check List also includes rental income and expenses among the information clients should provide when applicable.

Yes. We prepare tax returns involving stocks, investments, cryptocurrency, and other digital assets.

Investment and digital asset transactions can make a tax return more complicated because we may need information about purchases, sales, exchanges, proceeds, cost basis, and holding periods.

For stock transactions, clients should provide their Form 1099-B or brokerage statements, as applicable. Stock trading documentation is also included on our Tax Check List.

For digital assets, please provide your Form 1099-DA, if you received one. Depending on your activity, we may also need transaction histories or tax reports from cryptocurrency exchanges or wallets. The exact documentation required depends on the type and number of transactions you had during the year.

Don't ignore an IRS or state tax notice. We can help you review the notice, determine what the taxing agency is requesting, and discuss the appropriate next steps.

Bring or send us a complete copy of the notice, including all pages, so we can review exactly what the IRS or state is requesting and any response deadline listed.

Yes. We provide tax preparation services for a wide variety of taxpayers and entities.

We prepare individual tax returns, business tax returns, nonprofit tax returns, and trust tax returns, allowing clients with multiple tax needs to work with one office for all of their tax filing requirements.

Yes. We are a multilingual tax preparation office and can assist clients in English, Spanish, Hindi, and Arabic.
