Tax Preparation

Now more than ever our tax laws are in flux. They are more complex than ever and are not likely to get simpler any time soon. Every year it seems there are new or changing deductions and credits. As a result, tax return preparation requires more than just software. It requires knowledge and expertise to prepare an accurate return and to minimize your tax burden. Will the Alternative Minimum Tax affect you this year? Can you receive a tax credit for any home improvements you did during the year? Should you file Married Filing Separately or Married Filing Jointly? You can rely on the attorneys of Reese, Pyle, Drake and Meyer, P.L.L. to complete your tax returns accurately and efficiently, as well as know the answers to these and many other important questions.

In addition to tax returns for individuals, we can also assist you with trust tax returns, estate and gift tax returns, and small business returns. Furthermore, we now offer electronic filing through the IRS e-file program to shorten the time it takes to get your refund.

Tax Planning

In addition to preparing your tax returns, our tax attorneys have the knowledge and expertise to advise you on tax implications before you act. How will changes in the tax law affect you? Should you sell your stock this year or next year? Should you pay college tuition directly to your child’s school, or give the money to your child? There are myriad opportunities for tax savings, and there are also some tax traps. As our tax code becomes increasingly complex, your trusted advisers at Reese, Pyle, Drake & Meyer, P.L.L. are here to assist you in navigating the law and helping you keep more of your hard earned money.
