Information may not be reliable

Should you prepare your own tax return or seek the assistance of a professional, like Gerald Omari, CPA? Attempts to prepare your own tax returns can sometimes leave you with more questions than answers. Too many times clients seek our help only after they have been audited. Too many times we are baffled by the errors we see that triggered these audits. Yes, the dollar cost to do your taxes is worth consideration, but shouldn’t the focus be more on the likelihood of missing deductions, size of the tax savings from using a professional and the accuracy of a professionally prepared return that should be the overriding considerations? By preparing and signing your tax return, you are solely responsible for all the information on the return. Meaning, you're the one the IRS will come to with questions — possibly years after you've filed. When we prepare your tax return, you can direct the IRS to bring any questions about the filing to us. We can even obtain a power of attorney that gives us the ability to 

represent you before the IRS. If you have not prepared your 2017 tax return, give us a call at 703451-0595 or drop us an email at geraldomaricpa@gmail.com
