We carefully review financial information, identify applicable deductions and credits, and prepare returns in accordance with current tax regulations.

Frequently asked questions
What types of tax returns do you prepare?
We prepare federal and state individual income tax returns, business returns for corporations, partnerships, and LLCs, and nonprofit Form 990 filings. We also handle multistate returns, applicable international tax reporting, and amended returns.
What documents do I need to provide for tax preparation?
The required documents depend on your tax situation. Common items include W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, investment statements, business financial records, rental property information, and documentation of applicable deductions and credits. We will provide guidance on the information needed for your return.
What is the difference between tax preparation and tax planning?
Tax preparation focuses on reporting income and other financial activity for a completed tax year and filing the required returns. Tax planning is a separate advisory service that evaluates opportunities to manage future tax liabilities through proactive financial and business decisions.
