As tax season approaches, we hear the same questions from Lebanon County residents: Am I getting a refund? Can I deduct this? Will I be audited? Why is my employer not taking out enough taxes when nothing changed from last tax season?
These are valid concerns, and they come up year after year when it’s time to file. What most people don’t realize is that taxes don’t just happen in April, tax decisions happen every day, all year long. Being proactive throughout the year can significantly reduce what you owe the IRS when it’s time to file your return.
When deciding to trust someone with your personal and financial data, keep in mind not all tax preparers are created equal. Heckard Tax Prep LLC ensures we take the time to understand your entire unique tax picture, not just plug numbers into software. Our Enrolled agents and CPAs must complete rigorous IRS testing and continuing education each year to maintain their designations. Our Tax advisors take it a step further, offering strategies tailored to you, rather than simply processing returns and moving on.
Here’s something else we want our current and future clients to know: The IRS is not out to get you. With proper tax planning, opportunities can open up, whether that means starting a side hustle, purchasing a rental property or restructuring income in a smarter way. A good tax advisor helps you expand your options, instead of letting your current situation limit your goals.
We also caution against following tax advice found on social media. What you see on TikTok or Instagram is often incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong. Don’t blindly follow it. Do your due diligence and reach out to a professional, like the team at Heckard Tax Prep LLC, before acting on something you’ve watched or read online.
At Heckard Tax Prep LLC, we are professional, experienced and affordable. Offering services for individuals, families, business owners, executives and independent professionals. As one client who has worked with us for more than 10 years shared: “Scott’s consistency and expertise continues to impress me. He is thorough, efficient, and always up to date on the latest tax changes.”
You don’t have to be a tax expert. That’s our job.
