Individual tax preparation services for residents in Lufkin, Texas.

What You Can Expect During Preparation

We begin by collecting your tax documents, including W-2s, 1099 forms, mortgage interest statements, and any other records relevant to your filing in Lufkin. You provide us with your information, and we review it for completeness before entering it into our preparation software. We check for common errors, confirm that deductions are supported, and make sure your return is consistent with prior years unless your situation has changed.

Once your return is prepared, we send it to you for review before filing. You will see exactly what is being submitted, including your refund or balance due, and we will explain any line items that are unclear. We also provide basic planning support, such as adjusting your withholding or estimating next year's liability based on expected changes.

We do not handle complex investment portfolios, foreign income, or specialized credits that require advanced tax expertise. If your return includes these elements, we will refer you to a CPA who specializes in those areas. Our focus is on accurate, compliant preparation for individuals with straightforward or moderately complex returns.
