QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

INDIVIDUAL TAX PREPARATION SERVICES

 

How do I know if I have to file an income tax return?

Understanding IRS rules and regulations for filing tax returns is crucial. In general, anyone with income from various sources such as employment, self-employment, interest, dividends, etc., must file a tax return. However, even if you have no income, you may still be required to file a federal tax return to report foreign transactions as well as entity ownership. Additionally, if you are receiving a tax refund, it's advisable to file a tax return, regardless of your income so you can get your tax refund. Don't lose your tax refund by not filing your income tax return. While there are some exceptions, it's always wise to consult a tax professional to ensure compliance

What documents do I need to file my taxes?

If you're wondering which documents you need to file your taxes, the answer depends on your unique situation. However, most taxpayers typically need the following documents: W-2 forms for wages and salaries, 1099 forms for payments received, 1098 forms for mortgage interest or student loan interest, bank and investment statements, receipts for charitable donations, and business expenses. Depending on your income and expenses, you may need additional forms or documents. To make the income tax process easier, our tax preparers have created a comprehensive Tax Preparation Checklist.

How do I prepare my income tax return?

When it comes to preparing your taxes, you have three main options: hiring a tax preparer, using online tax software services, or doing it yourself. If your tax return is complex, it's best to hire a certified public accountant (CPA). You should be aware that no all tax preparers are CPAs. If you can't afford a CPA, you can opt for seasonal tax preparation services such as H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, LibertyTax, and others. Another option is online tax preparation software services, which provide a structured process for completing tax forms. If you prefer the DIY route, there are numerous free online resources that offer step-by-step instructions on how to prepare your own taxes.

How can I reduce my income taxes?

Reducing your tax bill can be done in many ways, depending on your unique circumstances. You can take advantage of tax deductions such as medical, mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and other tax deductions. You can also take advantage of credits like the earned income tax credit, child tax credit, dependent tax credit, and other tax credits. Contributing to a retirement plan like 401(k) plans, traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, defined benefit plans, and other similar plans can also help to reduce your federal taxes and state taxes. Additionally, carefully planning your overall tax strategy is essential. Tax planning is the key to lowering your tax bill.
