"First and foremost, tax preparation requires compliance. Legal deductions are best recognized with upfront planning and timely execution."
Over the years, our experience in tax preparation surprised us. We find the vast majority of our clients are not interested in aggressive, arcane, or risky tax deductions. Not that people are looking to pay more taxes than they should, but most understand that some level of taxation is necessary to support legitimate public services we enjoy, like police, schools, infrastructure, and military protection.
Rather, on balance, the number one client concern is noncompliance. Clients want to avoid even an appearance of impropriety, which may later lead to IRS inquiries or an audit. In some cases, clients might be considered “over-conservative,” where persuasion is required to convince them as to their rights in taking ordinary, run-of-the-mill deductions.
At J. Hunter Company, we strive to make “getting your taxes done” easy and educational. Below, we discuss the types of income tax returns we most frequently encounter in this division. Keep in mind, in addition to these federal returns, we also prepare your state and local income tax returns.
TAX PREPARATION
Albert Einstein famously said, “The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.” But, good news: the lay person is still trying. A lot of our clients, without needing to grasp technicalities, yearn to comprehend the basic, fundamental principles behind the tax law. We try and meet each year with our tax clients to prepare returns, and this meeting serves as an opportunity for each client to ask questions, not only about the tax code, but more generally, on matters concerning personal finance. We welcome the opportunity to earn your business and trust. Give us a call today at (513) 460-7691 and schedule an appointment for preparation of your next tax return.
