What Individual Income Tax Return Preparation Involves

Individual income tax return preparation means putting your income, deductions, and credits onto the right tax forms and filing them with the IRS and the state. A good preparer checks each number against your records. The goal is a return that is correct and complete. Here is what the work can include:

  • Reviewing your W-2 and 1099 forms
  • Finding deductions and credits you may qualify for
  • Filing federal and state returns
  • Handling tax refund processing
  • Preparing returns when income comes from more than one state
  • Answering your questions about the return before you sign

Who Needs Individual Income Tax Return Preparation

Anyone who must file a personal return can use help. Some returns are simple. Others have extra parts that are easy to get wrong. You may want a professional if any of these sound like you:

  • You have a job and also earn side income
  • You are self-employed or a freelancer
  • You own rental property or invest in real estate
  • You moved or earned money in more than one state
  • You have not filed in past years and need back returns filed
  • You filed before and found a mistake that needs an amended return
  • You want to plan ahead so next year's bill is smaller

Common Problems We See

Many tax problems come from small gaps, not big schemes. People often miss a form, forget a deduction, or guess at a number. These are some of the issues that come up again and again:

  • Missing or lost tax forms
  • Income reported twice or not at all
  • Deductions and credits left off the return
  • Quarterly estimated payments that were skipped or too small
  • Mixed personal and business expenses for self-employed people
  • Old returns that were never filed
  • Letters from the IRS that are hard to understand

What to Expect

We keep the steps simple and explain them in plain words. You will know what we need from you, what we are doing, and what happens next. If we find a problem in your records, we tell you about it. If your situation calls for more than a yearly return, such as tax planning or help with the IRS, we can talk through those options too. Timelines depend on how complete your paperwork is and how complex your return is.

Our Process

  1. Contact the office and share a short summary of your tax situation.
  2. Gather your tax documents, such as W-2s, 1099s, and last year's return.
  3. We review your records and look for deductions and credits you may qualify for.
  4. We prepare your federal and state returns and go over them with you.
  5. After you approve the return, we file it.
  6. We talk about steps that may help with next year's taxes.
