Tax Return Preparation

We have two goals in preparing tax returns. The first is mechanical: correctly enter your financial data into the required set of government prescribed forms and statements. This of course requires current knowledge of both individual and business tax laws. All of Dohan Brown Salum + Ferro CPA professionals, even those who are not CPA's, take at least 40 hours of continuing education annually, much of it devoted to tax law, to keep us on the cutting edge.

But with every tax return there are a number of "judgment calls," decisions really, that must be made regarding how to report your data to the government. Often, more than one alternative can be justified. And our second, and equally important goal is to help you make those decisions in such as way as to minimize the amount of taxes you or your firm has to pay without raising "red flags" that could trigger an audit.

Before we submit your return to the government, we submit it to our own internal review. At least two CPA's, including at least one firm principal, will verify its accuracy as well as the quality of your judgment calls.

It's not only our experience and system of peer-reviewed quality control that get our clients successfully through tax season year after year; it's our history of close involvement with our clients' affairs on a day-to-day or month-to-month basis. The relationships we forge lead to better understanding of fundamental business issues that can affect tax strategies and the tax return itself.

To individuals and businesses working to maximize their financial well being, that's a very important bottom line.
