Personal Tax
Done Right. The First Time.
A Better Breed Of Tax Preparation
Hiring the right tax professional is important…really important! Even when your return is prepared by someone else, you’re still legally and financially responsible for everything on it. Getting the right tax advice can stop tax issues from coming back to haunt you. It can also mean hundreds maybe thousands of dollars in savings. Getting the wrong tax advice, well…that’s just wrong and doesn’t save you hundreds or thousands of dollars.
While there really is no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional. You still need to be careful who you choose. Walk-in tax preparation chains are designed to move as many tax returns as possible through their system. They use briefly trained, seasonal employees, and there’s limited quality control. A few years ago, Smart Money reported that when the Government Accountability Office went undercover to get their returns done at the big chains, nearly all of the returns were incorrect to some degree.
Preparing your own income tax return? That can leave you with more questions than answers. The federal tax code is 74,608 pages long. War and Peace, one of the longest novels ever written, was only 1,440 pages long. Whether we like it or not, today’s tax laws are so complicated that filing a relatively simple return can be confusing. Using an online or desktop software is an option. But it really is just too easy to overlook deductions and credits you are entitled.
