Why Asheville Accounting
Whether you do your taxes yourself or hire us is a very personal choice but even if you are capable of doing your own return, you may not have the time to do it and make sure it is done correctly.
Ask yourself whether you have had a life-changing event in the past year. Your tax situation will change significantly if you got married or divorced, had a new child or bought a home. But it could also change if an adult parent moved in with you, or if you were laid off or retired.
Remember even if you have a relatively simple return, but doing your taxes has turned into a "hassle," you should probably consider ASHEVILLE ACCOUNTING's tax consultants for some help. You can miss deductions or you can make a mistake where you fail to pay what you should and you could face (financial) penalties and interest.
If the thought of doing your own taxes makes you toss and turn at night or eats a hole in your stomach, you might want to hire professional tax help this year.
The easiest way to know if you need to hire a tax professional to do your return is to do a truthful assessment of "your own personal level of frustration"
If you've been doing your own taxes and you're tired of doing them or things have changed -- like your personal situation or there are so many tax-law changes that you're feeling overwhelmed -- it may be time to call for some help.
Last year, professional tax professionals like ASHEVILLE ACCOUNTING electronically filed 62.9 million returns, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
Why e-file ? We electronically file your return because it is faster and more accurate. When you go the paper route, there is a greater risk of mail tampering or keypunch errors in your filing. Someone reads your paper return at the IRS and keys the information into a computer. It all ends up in a computer even if you paper file.If filing by mail, be sure the return is put in a secure U.S. Postal Service box. Don't leave it in a home mailbox with the flag up.
Take it a step further and use certified mail to guarantee that the IRS has received it.
When you own rental property, own your own business or actively trade stock, you should consider hiring a tax professional to help you. Last year one of our new clients failed to include the fees his investment company charged to manage his account. This error cost him over $600 for each of the past three years. We amended those returns and got him refunds of over $1800.
In North Carolina it is critical if you receive a State or Federal Pension that you see a Professional who understands the Bailey Exclusion. North Carolina may not tax certain retirement benefits received by retirees of the State of North Carolina and its local government or by the United States government retirees (including military) for each retirement plan if the retiree has five or more years of creditable service by certain dates.
Start gathering your important tax documents together, get organized and decide to deliver your tax information to us and make an appointment as soon as possible.
"Tax laws are quite complex," our clients say. As business owners, it's hard to find the time to keep up with all the tax-law changes. They do not have the time nor can they afford to make mistakes.
The fact is that in 2009, Congress passed more than 900 tax-law changes (almost three changes a day) that will affect your return this year. That does not include the recently passed $787 billion stimulus bill. Most of the tax provisions in the stimulus package will take effect this year - 2010.
ASHEVILLE ACCOUNTING's tax consultants are much more aware of all the tax benefits that are available to you and can possibly help you reduce your tax bill or get a bigger refund. By seeing us, you can keep up with the ever-changing tax code and get some help to plan for the current tax year and your return in 2011.
