Preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more questions than answers. Like it or not, today’s tax laws are so complicated that filing a relatively simple tax return can be confusing. It is just too easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled, and often times little mistakes can turn into big IRS nightmares. It’s best to leave tax preparation up to the experts.

When you hire Executive Tax Solution to prepare your tax return you can be assured it will be prepared by an IRS licensed professional, and reviewed by a second IRS licensed professional. Your tax return will be analyzed by our state-of-the-art software specifically designed to identify potential problems the IRS may look at more closely. Once your return is complete it will be filed electronically providing proof of receipt by the IRS and State.

Do it Yourself Software vs Franchise Tax Companies vs Professional Tax Preparation

There are several options when it comes to tax preparation. The first option is to simply do it yourself. There are a few tax prep software programs that claim to help taxpayers do their own taxes, and some of them are even free. If your return is simple you may be able to use this option, but we caution you, many times when we meet taxpayers for a tax problem consultation we find it all started from doing their own taxes.

The second option would be visiting a chain tax preparation company. When you visit one of these companies you might be thinking that you’re working with a licensed IRS professional, but believe it or not, you’re most often not. These companies often hire seasonal workers and train them in the weeks leading up to tax season. That means that the person who you’re relying on for financial advice could have been doing a totally unrelated job just a month or two before you met with them. It might be hard to believe but in Texas you need a license to cut hair, but not to prepare tax returns! While these seasonal tax preparers might know more than the average taxpayer and can handle basic returns, they are not considered tax experts.

The final option is to hire a Certified Public Accountant or IRS Enrolled Agent. You will find both here at Executive Tax Solution. These professionals are full-time year-round tax experts. They are held to a higher professional standard and are required to complete educational classes year-round to keep up to date on the ever changing complicated tax laws. Our professionals have been doing tax returns for over 35 years. There isn’t much they haven’t seen, and nothing they can’t handle. Professional Tax Preparation at Executive Tax Solution starts around $150 for basic returns and increases with complexity.
