Tax Preparation Designed Around Your Situation
Every taxpayer's situation is different. At Rivas Tax Solutions, we prepare tax returns based on your income, deductions, credits, filing status, dependents and other relevant tax information. Our goal isn't simply to prepare a return — our goal is to help you understand it.
Individual Tax Preparation
Whether you have a straightforward W-2 return or a more complicated tax situation, we can help you organize your information and prepare your federal and applicable state tax returns.
We work with taxpayers who may have:
- W-2 income
- 1099 income
- Multiple sources of income
- Dependents
- Education expenses
- Retirement income
- Investment income
- Itemized deductions
- Self-employment income
- Other reportable income
Self-Employed & 1099 Tax Preparation
Being self-employed comes with additional tax responsibilities. We can help you understand how your business income and expenses affect your tax return and identify the records you should maintain.
Services may include:
- Schedule C preparation
- Business income reporting
- Business expense reporting
- Mileage information
- Home-office information when applicable
- Estimated tax discussion
- Tax-planning considerations
Prior-Year Tax Returns
Behind on your taxes? Ignoring an unfiled return generally doesn't make the problem disappear. We can review your situation and help determine which prior-year returns may need attention.
Tax Planning
Good tax planning happens before the tax return is prepared. A tax-planning consultation can help you better understand how potential income, deductions, business activity and other financial decisions may affect your taxes.
Tax Estimates
Need an idea of what you may owe? A tax estimate can help you plan ahead rather than being surprised when your tax return is prepared. Estimates are based on the information available at the time and are not guarantees of the final tax liability.
ITIN Services
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) may be required for certain individuals who are not eligible for a Social Security number but have a federal tax purpose. We provide assistance with eligible ITIN application and renewal processes.
What Documents Should I Bring?
Depending on your situation, you may need:
- W-2s
- 1099s
- Prior-year tax returns
- Social Security or ITIN information
- Dependent information
- Mortgage interest statements
- Education documents
- Business income and expense records
- Retirement statements
- Investment information
- Other tax documents
You will receive a document checklist based on your tax situation.
