Services

Tax preparation for real life and real businesses.

Two core services, done carefully and explained clearly. If you’re not sure which one fits, that’s what the inquiry form is for.

For individuals & families

Individual tax preparation

For people with a paycheck, a family, a few moving parts, or all of the above.

We prepare your federal and state returns, look for the credits and deductions you actually qualify for, and talk you through the results before anything is filed.

Commonly included

  • W-2 wages and multiple jobs
  • 1099 income: interest, dividends, and freelance or gig work
  • Dependents and family credits, like the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit
  • Education credits and student loan interest
  • Retirement income and Social Security benefits
  • Homeownership and itemized deductions
  • State returns, for any state you need
Starting fee Shared when you inquire Your final fee depends on the forms and schedules your return needs. It’s confirmed once your return is complete, before anything is filed.

For small-business owners

Small-business tax preparation

For freelancers, sole proprietors, side hustlers, and owners who’d rather be running the business than decoding the tax code.

We report your business income and expenses correctly, handle self-employment tax, and help you plan for estimated payments so next year is calmer than this one.

Books in rough shape?

Tell us up front. A messy spreadsheet is a starting point, not a dealbreaker, and we’ll talk through what’s needed to get your return done.

Commonly included

  • Sole proprietor and single-member LLC returns (Schedule C)
  • Self-employment tax and the qualified business income deduction
  • Home office, vehicle, and other business deductions
  • Guidance on quarterly estimated tax payments
  • 1099-NEC filing for contractors you paid
  • S corporation returns (Form 1120-S)
  • New business setup support (ask for details)
Starting fee Shared when you inquire Your final fee depends on your business activity, your records, and the forms involved. It’s confirmed once your return is complete, before anything is filed.

Good to know

What to expect, plainly.

Clear starting fees

You’ll know your starting fee before we begin. Your final fee depends on what your return actually needs, and you’ll see it when you review your completed return, before you sign. If something adds significant work along the way, we’ll give you a heads-up.

No refund promises

Your refund or balance due depends on your actual tax situation. We’ll get you every benefit you qualify for, but we won’t guess at numbers to win your business.

Questions after April

Clients can reach out year-round with questions about notices, estimated payments, or life changes that affect next year.

Already filed on your own?

Ask about a second look at a return you prepared yourself. If something was missed, we’ll explain your options.

Not every situation is a fit for our practice, and that’s okay. If yours isn’t, we’ll say so quickly and point you in a helpful direction. We don’t represent clients before the IRS. If a notice needs that kind of help, we’ll explain what it means and refer you to a qualified professional.

Let’s get you on the calendar
