What Are The Benefits Of Individual Tax Preparation?

If you find yourself vacillating between hiring a tax professional and attempting to complete your taxes on your own, here are a few benefits to consider when making your decision:

Potential Savings

One of the biggest advantages to having a professional prepare your taxes is the amount of potential savings you could receive on your tax return. Certified public accountants are aware of possible tax deductions, equipping them with the ability to maximize your deductions while minimizing your tax liability.

Time

If you find yourself spending weeks preparing your taxes, but feeling like you never make progress, you are not alone. Preparing your individual taxes can be an arduous process. With the support of a tax professional, you will be able to complete your taxes quickly and have them submitted by the deadline, if not beforehand.

Possible Credits

You may be eligible for tax credits based on recent tax laws passed and changes in your personal circumstances. On the flip side of things you also do NOT want to inadvertently claim a tax credit you are not truly eligible for, opening yourself up to an audit, adjustment or reclassification in the future.

Audit Support

While no individual files their taxes expecting to be audited, it is helpful to have a professional who knows the ins and outs of your tax return in case you do get audited. If the IRS decides to question your tax return, you will have a tax professional who completed the return themselves, and will be ready to address any concerns.
