While we know you will not look forward to “tax time,” it does not have to be a source of dread every year. In fact, by perceiving this as a year-round effort that you work toward, little by little, in partnership with the Whyte & Associates, Inc. team, the stress and anxiety associated with the process floats away. Plus, we are more than tax preparers. We do taxes well, but by enlisting at our office in Rancho Cucamonga, California, you also benefit from the expertise of a team of financial and accounting professionals. Your finances are in excellent hands during tax time and at all times.
Tax preparation firms vary wildly in terms of experience, expertise, and infrastructure to support sound and secure data protection. Don’t trust this valuable component of your personal and/or business taxes to just anyone. There is simply too much on the line.
Experienced and qualified preparers can help you to get the best result. Professionals like our team stay on top of any changes in the legislation related to you personally that could have big implications for your tax bill. This knowledge and experience are then applied to craft strategies that reduce your tax burden. We also ensure that you comply with any requirements and that all necessary documents are completed accurately and on time. In this manner, costly penalties are avoided. Our acumen on this front also helps to minimize the risk of audits.
As Enrolled Agents authorized by the IRS, in the event of an audit, we are in the best possible position to represent you successfully. Last but certainly not least, your data is secure. Our team is not going anywhere. We have served individuals and businesses for nearly 70 years. The horror stories about unscrupulous or fly-by-night tax preparers are avoided by partnering with a trusted, full-service accounting firm that is a respected member of our community.
Do your homework. Don’t be afraid to ask about or research any certifications. Successful completion of courses and testing helps to ensure that these individuals are aware of local and federal laws. Be sure that the tax preparer suits your needs. For instance, if you are looking for a firm for your small business, glean some insights into their history of preparing taxes for other businesses like yours. Since legislation is always in a state of flux, it is also helpful to assess how they remain on top of continuing education. Otherwise, they may be behind the times when it comes to knowledge of the latest deductions, credits, and other changes that could heavily and negatively impact your bottom line. Also, understand the services, software, and other infrastructure and support that is offered and that you will likely need. These capabilities range from e-filing and in-person document review to IRS representation/audit experience.
