FAQs: Individual Tax Preparation
Individual tax filing can be more complex than it appears. These FAQs address common questions about Form 1040, IRS notices, state filings, and proactive tax planning — so you know when a CPA adds real value and how to stay compliant year-round.
Do I really need a CPA for my 1040 return?
If your financial situation is straightforward, tax software may be sufficient. However, once you have investments, multiple income sources, itemized deductions, or state filings, our CPAs help ensure accuracy, reduce errors, and identify opportunities to minimize tax liability or increase your refund.
What happens if I get an IRS notice?
If you receive an IRS notice, we review it, explain what it means, and respond on your behalf. We ensure deadlines are met, issues are addressed correctly, and any penalties or additional tax exposure are minimized.
Can you handle both federal and state returns?
Yes. We prepare federal, state, and local tax returns, including multi-state filings for individuals who relocate, work remotely, or earn income across multiple jurisdictions.
When should I start preparing my taxes?
It’s best to start early. Gathering documents in January or February gives our CPAs time to review everything thoroughly, identify deductions, and address any issues well before filing deadlines.
Do you also help with estimated quarterly payments?
Yes. We calculate and manage estimated quarterly payments to help you avoid underpayment penalties and stay compliant throughout the year.
