Personal Income Tax Preparation
Individual returns for business owners — coordinated with your business filing to lower your total tax.
We prepare personal returns for business clients only
We specialize in business tax and accounting, and we aren't accepting new clients for personal tax preparation on its own. If you're a business client, we're glad to handle your personal return as part of your overall relationship — coordinated with your business filing.

Thorough & Accurate
What's Included in Our Tax Preparation
We prepare your return with care, making sure every deduction and credit is accounted for and every form is filed correctly.
- Federal & Illinois State Returns
-
We prepare and e-file both your federal Form 1040 and Illinois state return, coordinated with your business return to lower your total tax.
- Schedules C, D & E
-
Self-employment income, capital gains and losses, rental property income — we handle the supporting schedules that turn a simple return into a complete one.
- Estimated Tax Calculations
-
We calculate your quarterly estimated tax payments for the upcoming year so you avoid underpayment penalties and aren't caught off guard at filing time.
- IRS & State Correspondence
-
If you receive a notice from the IRS or Illinois Department of Revenue about your personal return, we'll review it, respond on your behalf, and work to resolve the issue.
How It Works
Our Tax Preparation Process
Filing your taxes should be straightforward. Here's how we make it happen.
-
1Document Collection
- Upload your W-2s, 1099s, and supporting documents through our secure portal — we send a personalized checklist so nothing gets missed.
-
2Preparation & Review
- We prepare and review your return for accuracy, deductions, and credits, and flag anything that needs your attention before filing.
-
3E-File & Payment Planning
- Once you approve, we e-file with the IRS and state and walk you through any balance due or estimated payments for next year.
Experience That Matters
Common Situations We Handle
Most of the personal returns we prepare fall into one of these situations.
- Freelancers & 1099 Contractors.
- Self-employment income requires Schedule C, quarterly estimated taxes, and careful tracking of business expenses. If you're earning consistent income, forming a business entity could save you significantly on taxes.
- Business Owners.
- If you own an S-Corp or LLC, your personal and business tax returns work together. We coordinate both to optimize your overall tax position.
Professional Expertise
The CPA Advantage
Software can fill in the boxes, but it can't see how your personal and business returns affect each other. Because we handle both, we coordinate your owner compensation, distributions, and entity-level filing with your personal return — so the full picture is optimized together, not one form at a time. And if the IRS ever has questions, you have the licensed CPA who prepared the return ready to respond on your behalf.
