Tax Preparation

With tax laws changing each year, it is easy to overlook deductions and credits. There's no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional.

​

The team at Karen Collom,CPA will: 


  • Review last filed return to identify any errors or missed opportunities. 
  • File your tax return electronically so you will get your refund back sooner.
  • Highlight potential deductions to limit your tax liability for next year.


Tax Minimization Strategies

Our goal is to reduce our client's tax liability. By providing individualized attention to every client we serve, we are better able to analyze their unique tax situations.


We guide our clients through life changing situations such as:


  • Marriage, Domestic and Same Sex Partnerships.
  • Divorce
  • Birth or Adoption
  • Death of a Spouse
  • College Tuition (529) issues


Working with clients to understand these key items helps us project any year-end tax liabilities and alleviate tax consequences. With proper tax planning, we help our clients lower the amount of their taxable income and thereby reduce their tax rate. ​
