Form 1040 preparation for W-2 earners, 1099 contractors and the self-employed, with every credit and deduction you actually qualify for.
Home › Tax Services › Income Tax Preparation
Income tax preparation is the yearly filing of your personal federal return, Form 1040, reporting what you earned and settling what you owe or are owed back. Texas has no state income tax, so for most people here the federal return is the whole job. What varies is the complexity underneath it: a single W-2 is straightforward, while 1099 income, a side business, rental property, investments or a life change all add schedules that have to be right.
We prepare the return, check it against your prior year, e-file it as an Authorized IRS e-file Provider, and confirm the IRS accepted it. You get a copy of everything for your records.
Your federal return with whichever schedules apply, from itemised deductions to self-employment income.
Schedule C, expense categorisation, home office and mileage handled correctly rather than guessed at.
Earned income, child and dependent care, education and energy credits checked against your situation, not skipped.
Capital gains, dividends and Schedule E rental activity reported accurately.
We look at last year's return to catch anything that changed or was missed.
Filed directly with the IRS, with acceptance confirmed back to you.
If any of these describe your situation, this is the right place to start.
Upload your documents securely and a preparer will take it from there. Everything is sent over an encrypted connection, never plain email.
Fields marked with an asterisk are required. Files up to 25 MB each.
No mystery, no jargon. Here is exactly how we work together.
Photo ID, Social Security numbers for everyone on the return, all W-2s and 1099s, last year's return if you have it, and records for anything you want to deduct. If you are missing something, send what you have and we will tell you what is still needed.
Individual returns are generally due April 15, and an extension moves the filing deadline to October 15. An extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay, so any tax owed is still due in April.
No. Texas does not levy a personal income tax, so there is no state income tax return to file. If you earned income in another state during the year, that state may still require one, and we will handle it.
That is more common than you would think and it is fixable. We prepare the missing years in order and deal with the IRS on the balance. Filing voluntarily almost always costs less than waiting to be contacted.
Free consultation. No pressure, just answers from a team that has seen your situation before.
