PERMANENT HOME!!

Back in May 2014, we finally bought a new and permanent home.  I am still located in St. Charles and not very far from last year's location.  The new address is 4193 Elkhart Lake Rd.  Please visit my website for information.

The 2015 filing season is here!  My website has been updated with the latest information, product pricing (mostly unchanged), forms, dates, and most importantly...links to making an appointment.  I have already begun taking appointments but please try to use my online booking to schedule a time slot.  ALL of my available times are in that system.

 

Remember that all of my rates are available on my website Pricing page.  And please help me spread the word that you can also file yourself online through my website or by clicking here.  Thank you! 

 
NEW for 2015: Audit Protection!!

 

Beginning in 2015 (for the 2014 Tax Year), my software company has partnered with Protection Plus for audit assistance.  I can offer this wonderful product to you as I prepare your tax return for the low price of $49.95.  


 

What is it?  

It is the most comprehensive audit assistance available anywhere.  


 

What does it give you? 

  • They pay up to $2,500 in penalties, interest AND tax liability in the event of a legitimate preparer error.  
  • They assist with denied EIC claims.
  • They assist with Federal returns including Schedules A, C, and E.  
  • They offer debt relief assistance.
  • They help with ITIN W-7 rejections.

 All you have to do is let me know you want to use this product and all the information you need will be part of your tax package.  IF you use a bank product and have my fees deducted from your refund, this fee will also be deducted.  Otherwise you pay this fee to me along with my preparation fees and I will remit the amount to Protection Plus for your return.

IRSHave you considered the impact to your tax return that the Affordable Care Act may offer?  The good news is that I have been doing my best to keep up with it all.  There will be a new question I must ask every client and that is: "Did you have health insurance all year?"  There is a new form (8965) that will have to be filled out for those that cannot answer "Yes" to this question.  Also, if you had insurance through the Marketplace, there will be new forms to fill out as well (8962) and you should receive documents for your tax return that are related to this form (Form 1095-A).

Keep up with the latest news in the IRS newsroom at  irs.gov.  Also check out the Hot Topics section.
