What Is Tax Preparation?
Tax preparation involves collecting, reviewing, and accurately reporting all necessary tax documents—such as W-2s, 1099s, receipts, expense records, and other required forms—to prepare a tax return on time. Every tax filer must report income and pay any taxes owed, but preparing a compliant return can be challenging without expert help.
Our team ensures your income tax preparation follows current federal and state regulations while minimizing your liability. We help you determine whether to itemize deductions or take the standard deduction, maximizing your benefits and keeping your filing simple and accurate. For clients with simple tax situations, the process may involve only a few basic forms and straightforward reporting.
At Tharrington CPA, accuracy is not optional—it’s our standard. We double-check all identifying information and calculations to avoid delays and protect you from costly IRS errors. Double-checking names and Social Security numbers is crucial to avoid significant processing delays in tax filing. We also integrate tax planning into every engagement, helping clients strategize for next year’s success.
