To get started with your individual tax return preparation, please complete a tax questionnaire.
No matter where you live in the United States, I provide convenient, efficient and personal service year-round. All state tax returns are available. To see how easy the process is, take a look at the procedures described on the main page. While preparing your tax return, I always look for any potential tax-savings opportunity available to you.
As a tax preparation client, quick questions - generally those that take 5 minutes or less to answer - are complimentary by email. Please contact me before making any major financial decisions so you don't inadvertently put yourself in an unfavorable tax position.
Worldwide income reporting: All U.S. citizens, green card holders and residents aliens (including foreign workers on a U.S. visa who meet the substantial presence test) must report income earned outside the United States. You may also claim worldwide deductions, such as mortgage interest on a home located abroad.
Foreign account and foreign asset reporting: If you have foreign accounts or assets, you may be required to file Form 114 (FBAR) and Form 8938 (included in the tax return). Click on the link for details.
