What documents do I need for tax preparation?
For individual tax preparation, you'll need W-2s, 1099s, mortgage interest statements (1098), property tax records, charitable donation receipts, and any other income or deduction documentation. For businesses, you'll also need profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and expense records.
How long does tax preparation take?
Simple individual returns can be completed in 1-2 business days. Business returns and complex individual returns may take 1-2 weeks depending on complexity and document completeness. We provide timeline estimates during your initial consultation.
Can you file my taxes if I live in another state?
Yes, we serve clients nationwide through our secure virtual platform. We can handle multi-state filings and have extensive experience with state-specific tax requirements.
What if I made a mistake on a previous tax return?
We can file an amended return (Form 1040-X) to correct errors or claim missed deductions. The IRS generally allows amendments within 3 years of the original filing date.

Absolutely. We file NYC city taxes, New York State returns, and handle all local requirements including the NYC UBT for businesses. Our team is deeply familiar with NYC-specific tax rules and deductions.
What is the deadline for filing taxes?
The federal tax deadline is typically April 15th. New York State follows the same deadline. If you need more time, we can file an extension giving you until October 15th, though any taxes owed are still due by April 15th.
Do you file taxes for self-employed individuals?
Yes, we specialize in self-employment tax preparation including Schedule C, quarterly estimated payments, home office deductions, and self-employment tax calculations. We help freelancers and independent contractors maximize deductions legally.
What tax deductions am I missing?
