 Tax preparation made simple and easy.
Our goal in the tax process is to make things easy to understand and easy to get through the complex process of doing your taxes. We’re fast and friendly. With years of experience behind us, we have access to the most complete sources of tax information available. Our rates are reasonable and our service is comprehensive.
We specialize in coordinating your personal and business returns (if you own a business). Many other tax preparation services don’t have the level of sophistication that you need to make sure your taxes are done right the first time. We use strategies designed to make sure you get the most deductions allowable by law. Even if you haven’t filed your taxes in a while, we can go back and make sure you get up-to-date with the IRS.
Remember: the Internal Revenue Service reminds us that earlier is better when it comes to working on your taxes. Taxpayers are encouraged to get a head start on tax preparation, especially since early filers avoid the last minute rush and get their refunds sooner. Here are five ways to get a jump start on your taxes:
1. Gather your records in advance. Make sure you have all the records you need, including W-2s and 1099s. Don’t forget to save a copy for your files.
2. Verify all Social Security numbers. These are among the most common errors found on tax returns. Taking care will reduce your chance of hearing from the IRS and speed up your refund.
3. Get the fastest refund. When you file early, you receive your refund faster. When you choose direct deposit, you receive your refund sooner than waiting for a check.
4. E-filing is easy. E-filing catches math problems, provides confirmation your return has been received and gives you a faster refund. Better Business Ventures, Inc. encourages e-filing for all their clients.
5. Don’t panic. If you have a problem or a question, remember that Better Business Ventures is here to help all year.
According to the IRS, taxpayers who pay someone to do their taxes should choose a preparer wisely. If you choose to use a paid tax preparer, it is important that you find a qualified tax professional. Taxpayers are ultimately responsible for everything on their return even when it’s prepared by someone else.
The most reputable preparers will request to see your records and receipts and will ask you multiple questions to determine your total income and your qualifications for expenses, deductions, and other items. By doing so, they have your best interest in mind and are trying to help you avoid penalties, interest, or additional taxes that could result from later IRS contacts.
While most tax return preparers are professional and honest, taxpayers can use the following tips to choose a preparer who will offer the best service for their tax preparation needs. Among the suggestions the IRS recommends you consider, you should:
Ask about service fees. Avoid preparers who claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers, or those who guarantee results or base fees on a percentage of the amount of the refund.
Plan ahead. Choose a preparer you will be able to contact after the return is filed and one who will be responsive to your needs.
Get references. Ask questions and get references from clients who have used the tax professional before. Were they satisfied with the service received?
