Tax Preparation in Granbury, TX
Tax preparation for Granbury and Hood County — individuals, retirees, and small business owners.
Call (817) 480-6649Granbury and Hood County are within our service area south of Weatherford. We prepare individual returns, work with small business owners and self-employed people, and handle the planning questions that come up around retirement and property.
Hood County has a significant retiree population, and retirement brings its own set of questions: how distributions from different account types are treated, the timing of required distributions, how Social Security interacts with other income, and how a large one-year event — selling a property, a Roth conversion, an inherited account — affects the picture.
Those events reward planning before they happen. A distribution or a sale that occurs without considering the tax effect can push income into ranges that trigger additional consequences, including effects on Medicare premiums in a later year.
For property owners, the interaction between Texas property tax, the homestead exemption and a federal return is worth understanding — particularly for anyone who has recently moved here from a state with an income tax.

Common questions
Do you prepare taxes for clients in Granbury?
Yes. Granbury is part of our regular service area. We prepare individual returns, small business and self-employed returns, and we work with clients who are behind on filing or dealing with IRS correspondence.
What should I bring to a tax appointment?
Photo ID and Social Security numbers for everyone on the return, all income documents including W-2s and any 1099s, last year's return if we did not prepare it, records of deductible expenses, and details of anything that changed during the year — a marriage, a new dependent, a home purchase or sale, a new business. If you are self-employed, bring your bookkeeping records or a summary of income and expenses.
Do you work with small businesses and self-employed people?
Yes, and it is a large share of what we do. Self-employment tax, quarterly estimated payments, deductions, entity questions and bookkeeping all come up regularly. If you are newly self-employed, a conversation early in the year is worth considerably more than one at filing time.
I have not filed in several years. Can you help?
Yes, and it is more common than people think. The general approach is bringing the unfiled years current, determining what is actually owed, and then addressing payment through the available options. Filing is what stops the failure-to-file penalty from continuing to accrue, and unfiled returns generally have to be current before most resolution options become available.
Do you handle IRS notices?
Yes. Most IRS correspondence concerns one specific item on one specific return and is resolved by responding with documentation before the stated deadline. Bring the notice, the return it concerns, and your supporting records, and we will work through what it actually requires.
