Tax Preparation in Stephenville, TX

Tax preparation for Stephenville and Erath County — agricultural, small business and individual returns.

Call (817) 480-6649

Stephenville is southwest of us in Erath County, dairy and agricultural country with a university in the middle of it. That produces an unusually varied set of returns.

Agricultural filings dominate: equipment depreciation, herd accounting, income averaging where it applies, and the business-versus-hobby question on smaller operations. Each of those has rules that reward being handled properly rather than approximately.

The university adds a different category — households with education credits, students with part-year or multi-state income, and academic staff with more than one income source.

We schedule Erath County properly rather than fitting it in, and clients deal with the person who prepared the return.

Common questions

Do you prepare taxes for clients in Stephenville?

Yes. Stephenville 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.
