Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help if I’ve never worked with a tax preparer before?
Absolutely. We’ll walk you through the entire process, answer your questions, and make sure everything is filed properly and on time.
I work remotely and get a 1099. Do I qualify for any deductions?
Yes—we’ll help identify eligible write-offs like your home office, internet, equipment, and more based on your line of work.
What’s the benefit of using a professional instead of doing taxes myself?
You get peace of mind, better accuracy, and often greater tax savings. We also help with long-term planning that DIY tools don’t offer.
I just inherited a property. Can you help me handle the tax side?
Yes. We’ll walk you through your options for filing, capital gains, and future planning, tailored to your inheritance and financial goals.
Do you offer services outside of tax season?
Yes. We offer ongoing financial consulting, business support, bookkeeping, and IRS resolution services all year long.
