A friend just posted this. When I stopped laughing, I figured I'd share. I'm an enrolled agent, the IRS's highest level of accreditation for tax professionals. I do simple returns for $50, most others for $100. To get started, just send me a message with you email address, and I'll get you connected through our secure portal.

This is what happens when you deal with a disreputable tax preparer. If somebody promises to “double your refund” or anything like that, turn and run. This preparer is going to prison, but her clients will face interest, penalties, and audits.

I’m an enrolled agent in tax practice. I will get you the refund you deserve, in compliance with all tax laws. You sleep well knowing you’ve filed an honest return prepared by a trained professional.

I do basic returns for $50, most others for $100. I also can represent you in audits and other tax disputes. Contact me by messaging me through this page, or at 314-991-7740.

The IRS is going into the tax filing season with an incredible backlog of returns and correspondence. Now, more than ever, it is important that your return is accurately prepared. An accurately prepared e-filed return will go through in a few weeks. But if there are errors, your return is diverted to a manual process. Based on current IRS statements, that could mean a delay in your resolution or refund for a year or more.

That means it is more important than ever to make sure that every tax document is accurately reflected in your return. If you leave off a 1099 or W-2 and underreport income, that can throw your return off the straight path to prompt processing. So whether you prepare your own return using software, or hire a professional, take care that everything is included.

If you are in need of a tax professional to prepare your return, or to represent you in resolving an issue with the IRS, I'm an enrolled agent in tax practice. I am located in Ferguson, but have a secure portal to serve clients anywhere in the United States. Basic returns are just $50, and most others are $100. Contact me through messenger and let's get the ball rolling!

The inventory of unprocessed returns and related correspondence was provided by the IRS’s taxpayer advocate service to the tax-writing committees in Congress. The Treasury Department, the IRS’s parent agency, warned in January that it expected its response to be subpar this year.

I can tell you from personal experience, getting a problem resolved with the IRS is very difficult these days. And with the confusion that will result from the advance child tax credit, it’s about to get worse.

You can have your return professionally prepared by me, an enrolled agent, for a very reasonable price. Basic returns are just $50, most others are $100. You can submit documents to me through my secure portal or bring them in person. Most returns can be done in a few days.

Treasury officials are warning about the state of the IRS. Congress must step up.

We're getting close to tax season, and you may be tempted to go to one of those places that promises to "optimize your refund." One such place was Roberts Tax Service, right here in north county. You won't be going there this year, because the owner is heading to federal prison.

Let me be perfectly clear about something: Increasing your tax refund through fraudulent deductions, fake income, or any other means, is a federal crime. The people who were "helped" by this tax preparer are going to have problems of their own - the IRS will be taking back any refund they received, they'll have interest and penalties, and will likely face additional scrutiny in the future. You don't want to go there.

I'm an enrolled agent - that's the "EA" in Nick Kasoff, EA - Tax Preparation. I have annual educational requirements to keep me current on tax code, and am bound by the ethical requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Which is to say that while I'll get you the best refund you are entitled to, I will not cut corners or break the law.

For tax guidance, return preparation, or representation before the IRS for tax issues, please contact me at any time.

Tax season is coming. If you’re self-employed, tis the season to start taking up your expenses and getting organized.

Taxes not filed? The IRS is waiting. If you have a refund, get it now. If you owe, you are costing yourself a penalty for every month you delay. Even if you can’t afford to pay, you should file as soon as possible. Contact me for professional service at great prices.

I just prepared a return for a client who used one of the storefront tax preparation firms last year. Her bill last year was $558. My charge: $50.

But here's the best part: Her preparer last year has ZERO accreditation from the IRS. You can look that up on the IRS website - she didn't even pass the IRS's annual filing season program, which is a bare bones class for tax preparation. I'm an enrolled agent, which is the IRS's highest level of accreditation.

Get your return prepared by an accredited agent, using professional software, with no gimmicks or hidden charges, for a great price - and keep your whole refund. If you don't have self-employment or 1099-B income, most returns will be just $50. More complex returns are usually just $100.

No contact preparation is available, or drop off your information at my home office in Ferguson. Contact me by DM to make arrangements today.
