Choose the Service Based on the Decision You Need to Make
Tax Preparation
Use preparation when the primary need is completing federal, state, and local returns based on events that have already occurred.
Tax Planning
Use planning when a future decision, transaction, withholding change, retirement move, or year-end action should be evaluated before it occurs.
Current Client Support
Existing clients can use the current-client page for portal access, document instructions, signatures, payments, and other active-engagement resources.
A Complete Return Depends on Complete Household Information
Provide All Income Documents
Include all wage, retirement, investment, self-employment, rental, government-benefit, and other tax documents for each person included in the return.
Explain Significant Changes
Report moves, marriage, divorce, births, deaths, dependents, property transactions, new businesses, inheritances, gifts, and other material changes.
Review Before Filing
Clients remain responsible for reviewing names, Social Security numbers, addresses, bank information, dependents, income, deductions, and other return information before signing.
Protect Sensitive Information
Do not send Social Security numbers, tax forms, banking details, identity documents, or other sensitive records through ordinary email or public website forms. Use the secure portal or another approved secure method.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can one appointment cover both preparation and planning?
A preparation engagement addresses the return being filed. Forward-looking calculations, scenario comparisons, or implementation guidance may require a separate planning scope.
Can you prepare returns for people outside Indiana?
Remote and multi-state work may be accepted depending on the states involved, return complexity, available records, and the engagement scope.
What if I am missing a tax document?
Identify the missing item before filing. Depending on the document, it may be necessary to obtain a replacement, use an appropriate transcript, or delay completion until reliable information is available.
Does the website provide tax advice for my situation?
No. Website information is general. Advice for a specific taxpayer requires sufficient facts and an agreed professional engagement.
