Federal and California individual income tax preparation, including common wage, retirement, investment, dependent, and credit-related items.
Focused preparation for taxpayers with property sales, rentals, and other real-estate activity requiring careful documentation.
Organized preparation for sole proprietors, independent contractors, freelancers, and other self-employed taxpayers.
Real estate tax focus
The purchase price, improvements, depreciation, selling expenses, prior use, and ownership history can all affect the tax treatment. Bring the complete record so your return reflects the facts of the transaction.
Prepare before your appointment
Select the items that apply to you. Nothing is transmitted or saved on this page.
Common questions
Bring identification, Social Security information for everyone listed on the return, income documents, your prior return, and records supporting deductions or credits. Do not send sensitive documents through ordinary text or email.
Bring the purchase and sale closing statements, improvement records, selling expenses, prior tax returns, and depreciation schedules when applicable.
Bring income records and organized expense totals by category, plus mileage, home-office, equipment, insurance, and estimated-tax information when applicable.
Generally, an extension gives additional time to file—not additional time to pay tax that may be due. Your exact situation should be reviewed before the deadline.
