Tax Preparation in Chicago

Tax preparation requires tax planning. And tax planning should be done throughout the year. For that reason, at our Chicago CPA firm, it is always tax season.

Our tax department prepares tax returns for businesses and individuals, manages quarterly tax payments, provides creative tax planning, and negotiates with the IRS and the state on behalf of our clients. Most importantly, we keep our clients out of tax trouble!

Taxes are notoriously complicated. Most businesses, as well as individuals with complex situations, will save time and money by working with a tax and accounting firm, rather than attempting to navigate the tax rules on their own.

So don’t wait. Call Massey and Company, your Chicago CPA – for tax season and all year round!

Tips for choosing the right tax preparer for your needs

 

When choosing a tax preparer, you should keep a few things in mind.

1. You want to make sure that the tax preparer is reputable and has experience preparing taxes for businesses and individuals in your city.

2. You want to make sure that the tax preparer is familiar with the tax laws of your state.

3. Finally, you want to make sure that the tax preparer is someone you feel comfortable working with. This includes being responsive and returning messages and emails promptly.

At Massey and Company CPA, we meet all of these criteria and more. We’re a reputable tax and accounting firm with over 30 years of experience preparing taxes for businesses and individuals throughout the country. We’re familiar with the laws and regulations of Illinois. Our clients praise our responsiveness and friendliness – we are here to help you every step of the way!

5 Common mistakes made during tax preparation

1. One of the most common mistakes made during tax preparation is neglecting to take advantage of all the deductions and credits available. This can cost you money in the long run.

2. Another common mistake is being overly aggressive on deductions. In other words, watch out for “red flags.” These can lead to an audit by the IRS or the state.

3. Some taxpayers do not keep accurate accounting and bookkeeping records or maintain receipts. Careful record keeping will “audit proof” your business.

4. Some people try to prepare their accounting records and tax returns without professional help. However, most people do not have the skill or the time to do this properly.

5. Finally, procrastination is commonplace. Filing tax returns late results in fees and interest charges. And neglecting to do accounting on a regular basis, including monthly bank reconciliations, leads to missed tax deductions and messy bookkeeping which is expensive and time consuming to fix.

At Massey and Company CPA, we have decades of experience in both tax and accounting. We will guide you throughout the process, helping you to avoid these common mistakes and keeping you out of tax trouble.

FAQs

A: When choosing a local tax professional, it is essential to consider their experience, qualifications, and fees. Check online testimonials from existing clients to determine their reputation and what it is like to work with them. Ask about billing arrangements – fixed fees, rather than billable hours, are almost always best for the client.

A: The most common tax liabilities are federal and state individual income taxes, self-employment taxes, corporate taxes and sales taxes. Some of these taxes need to be paid quarterly. It is best to work with a tax firm that has deep experience with all of these taxes.

A: File your tax return on time even without payment. Your CPA firm will then be able to negotiate a payment arrangement for you with the IRS or the state. Arrangements include offers in compromise, instalment agreements and non-collectable status.
