Preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more questions than answers. According to a study released by the US Government's General Accounting Office, most taxpayers (77% of 71 million taxpayers) believe they benefited from using a professional tax preparer.  On average, I find my clients five times in additional tax savings as what they pay for my tax service. 

Whether we like it or not, today's tax laws are so complicated that filing a relatively simple return can be frustrating and confusing. It is just too easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled. Even if you use a computer software program there's no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional.  Don't be a penny wise and a pound foolish resulting in overpaying the IRS.

Here's what you get...

• Your tax return will be checked and rechecked by sophisticated computer software identifying potential problems the IRS may look at more closely and reviewing the math to limit IRS contacts.  I review the return a day after preparation to see if additional savings are available. 
• Your Federal and State tax returns will be filed electronically so you will get your refund back quicker, usually the Federal refund in 10 days.  You can easily check the status of your refund on my website.
• If you prefer a smaller refund and more available cash throughout the year, I will show you how to adjust your payroll withholding to get more money back each week. Why give the IRS an interest free loan for up to 16 months.  
• I will show you potential deductions to limit your tax liability for next year. In addition, I will give you a sheet of commonly overlooked deductions to limit the following year's tax liability.
