TAX PREPARATION

While preparing your own tax return may seem like a way to save money, it can often end up costing you more in the long run. Even with the best off-the-shelf software, you can miss valuable credits and money-saving deductions that could reduce your annual tax bill or provide a significant return. While tax software offers some assistance, there’s no substitute for the real-world experience of a qualified professional when it comes to tax preparation.

At FCTS, we keep up with changes in tax laws and are always looking for new ways to help our clients keep more money in their hands, instead of sending it to the federal or state governments. Whether you own a small business or are an individual, we have the skills to prepare your taxes in compliance with all Federal and State tax laws. We offer prompt, efficient preparation of all types of returns including corporate tax filings, multi-state taxes, and individual income tax returns.

Our minimum tax return preparation fees for new clients are $1,100. We are a boutique firm as opposed to companies such as Jackson-Hewitt, H&R Block, and Liberty Tax to name a few. As part of our process for accepting new clients, we carefully evaluate if we will be a good fit for each other. We want to have a healthy and prosperous relationship since we plan on providing services for several years, including the second and third generations.
