Personal Tax Preparation, Planning & Advisory

Personal Income Tax Preparation

We prepare personal income tax returns for federal and state. This includes Form 1040 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return and associated schedules, based on your income sources, credits, deductions, and other items that affect income tax liability. Tech savvy clients will enjoy our TaxDome portal and virtual meetings. We have alternatives available for local clients that prefer to drop off their tax documents or meet in-person to review their completed return. 

Personal Tax Planning

Clients that are interested in long-term strategies to minimize their tax liabilities while maintaining compliancy should consider our personal tax planning service. During tax planning, we'll review your prior tax returns, discuss your current situation, and review your goals and plans for the future. This helps us make recommendations that can be beneficial both now and in the future.

Personal Tax Advisory

Personal tax advisory is for those that need tax advice on a specific issue or situation. This can be helpful for Roth conversions, large gifts, selling investments, buying rental property, inheritance, and more.

Are You Nearing Retirement?

We can help you plan for taxes.

Working with a trusted CPA before you retire can help reduce your tax liability through your golden years and potentially to your heirs. RMDs and the future tax burden to beneficiaries are just two of the areas we focus on with our tax planning services for individuals and couples nearing retirement.
