Tax Preparation
Today’s federal & state laws are constantly changing and growing more complex, compelling more individuals to reach out to a tax professional for assistance with preparation of their returns. If you do not stay abreast of the current issues you might be overlooking certain deductions or credits that you are entitled to. A knowledgeable CPA can help you take advantage of all the tax-savings strategies available for your situation and avoid pitfalls that might put you in a unfavorable tax situation.
Tax Planning
Life changes such as marriage, death, divorce, moving or the birth or adoption of a child can prompt the need for tax planning. If you wait until the end of the year to evaluate your financial situation you may have missed out on some tax-saving strategies. Don’t miss a deadline or an opportunity by waiting until after December 31 to assess your tax situation. Consulting a CPA during the year or before any major decisions are made can result in tax savings and avoidance of problems with the IRS. Careful tax planning and consideration is also crucial making contributions to retirement accounts and education savings accounts.
IRS Representation
If you have received a letter from the IRS or a state taxing agency regarding an IRS audit or examination, unpaid taxes, late or unfiled tax returns, payroll tax issues or IRS liens you might need representation from a professional. Only licensed attorneys, CPA’s or enrolled agents can represent you before the IRS. Any of these professionals can assist you with tax problem resolution and ensure that your rights as a taxpayer are being represented.
Fees
Typical tax return rates around the country.
Tax professionals use a variety of pricing methods to determine fees for tax return preparation services. Fees vary by region, as well as by the complexity of the return being filed. It is important to understand that every tax return is different, and the forms necessary to complete your tax return may vary from year to year as your situation changes. For that reason, final pricing is always subject to a client's individual situation and the complexity of their return.
