Tax Prep · In-Office
Personal Tax Filing
- Full preparation and e-filing of federal and New York (or your state) tax returns.
- Verify eligibility and filing status (single, married, head of household, etc.).
- Identify and apply relevant credits and deductions on your behalf.
- Review and explain your refund or balance due in plain language.
Income Tax Assistance
- Explain basic tax concepts and how your return was prepared.
- Answer “what-if” questions about income, refunds, or penalties.
- Help you understand letters or notices from the IRS or state in simple terms — and suggest next steps.
Tax Document Organization
- Help you sort and label income documents (W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, 1099-G, etc.).
- Organize expense and deduction records (charity, medical, education, business, etc.).
- Set up a simple filing system — digital or physical — so future tax seasons are faster.
Tax Form Help
- Explain which forms you need (Form 1040, schedules, state forms, etc.).
- Help you read and understand the forms you fill out.
- Walk through examples of how income is reported on each key form.
Tax Planning
- Year-round planning such as adjusting withholding or estimated payments.
- Estimate and plan quarterly payments if you have side income or self-employment.
- Basic strategies to reduce tax stress each year — timing income/expenses, saving properly, etc.
ITIN Application
- Help you apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
- Review your passport, birth certificate, or other ID documents before submission.
- Explain the process, timelines, and what to expect after applying.
- Good to know: a valid passport is the only document accepted on its own (otherwise you need two approved IDs), and an ITIN not used on a tax return for 3 straight years expires — we check yours and renew it if needed. The IRS charges no fee for an ITIN.
IRS & State Account Assistance
- IRS online account help — create or recover your account, view balance, payment history, transcripts, refund status, and notices.
- State tax account help — set up or access your NY (or state) online account, view returns, make payments, respond to notices.
- Account recovery — forgotten usernames/passwords, failed identity verification, walkthroughs with IRS and state systems.
- ID.me account assistance — sign up, verify, fix locked or inaccessible accounts (MFA, phone/email changes).
