Can a Tax Preparer Save Me Money?

There isn’t an American employee or entrepreneur not interested in reducing their tax burden. 

Most taxpayers are willing to pay their fair share of taxes, but no taxpayer wants to pay more taxes than what is legally owed. That’s a big part of why so many taxpayers choose to hire professional tax preparers in the first place. 

Working with legitimate tax preparation professionals can help taxpayers better navigate the complexity of the US tax code. Taxpayers save time and money (and avoid a lot of headache) while knowing they won’t miss out on any deductions or tax credits that they might have been unaware of. 

It’s not uncommon for American taxpayers to save hundreds if not thousands of dollars off of their tax bill just by working with professional tax preparers that understand all aspects of the IRS tax regulations. 

Tax Prep professionals Help You Navigate Tax Complexities 

Can a tax preparer save me money?

The US has one of the most complex tax codes in the world. 

Armies of lawyers over the decades have worked on building the US tax code into what it is today, a tax code that if printed it out physically would require more than 4000 pages. That’s a lot of information for a citizen or small business owner to study before they do their taxes. 

By moving forward with tax preparers, though, taxpayers are able to avoid all that headache and hassle completely. Tax preparers can help taxpayers protect their income and their wealth (ethically and legally) through methods only those in the tax prep industry are aware of. It’s not uncommon to work with tax preparers and save hundreds or thousands of dollars a year. 

Save Time, Save Money 

Some of the best tax preparation software options available today still require taxpayers to sit down for a few hours to go through their taxes properly. That’s a lot of time to commit to doing taxes. This doesn’t even include the time taxpayers have to spend collecting documents, gathering income and bank information, and organizing those resources to move efficiently through the tax preparation process. Even more importantly, the automated tax return processing prompts of these programs routinely skip the lesser used deductions or credits that might be applicable to a specific taxpayer.  

Moving forward with professional tax preparer allows taxpayers to avoid having to handle all of these tasks alone. All taxpayers have to do is provide these professionals with the documents and resources necessary to understand their tax situation and everything else is taken care of. Tax preparers can not only quickly prepare the tax return but also quickly guide the taxpayer on the exact documents that would be needed and, in some cases, even help prepare the financial statements.  

Never Miss a Deduction or Credit Again 

More importantly, an experienced tax preparer can identify all the potential tax savings available to the taxpayer and reduce the overall tax bill.  

Tax prep professionals won’t just recommend obvious deductions or tax credits, either. They use their years of experience and understanding of the tax code to find “hidden” deductions and credits most taxpayers never would have been aware of the first place. 

Business Consulting & Tax Planning 

An average tax preparer helps companies in many different industries and businesses of all different sizes. Quickly business tax preparers learn the right incorporation type, entity type, accounts receivable reconciliation type and other accounting decisions that will lead to the best tax outcomes for their clients. This is where tax preparers can sometimes help drive massive tax benefits to business owners as well as the taxes owed by the companies they advise.
