Life Changes. Your Tax Picture Changes With It.
While Individual Tax Prep seems “easier” than Family and Joint Filing or Self-Employed Tax Prep, there is always a chance that your taxes may be a bit trickier than you’d expect as an independent filing. It may be time to switch from self-service online tax programs to a professional tax service if you fall into any of the following situations:
You had multiple jobs this year
You updated your withholding at some point in the calendar year
You received investment documents
You are currently in school
You bought or sold a house
You significantly changed your retirement contributions
Don’t fret. Ben is here to help navigate these changes with you at tax time!
