W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC I am happy to participate in The Area News Group’s “Maintaining


The Tax Return - Your Annual Financial Checkup


Your Piece of the Pie” series once again this tax season. Over the next several weeks, I will be presenting a series of articles that will cover various aspects of the income tax return. The articles will dissect the income tax return, define certain terminology and discuss benefits available in the tax code to lower your taxable income. My purpose is to help make you aware of the multiple options you have to enact informed decisions regarding your upcoming expenditures to help plan your financial future in these challenging times. At Total Tax Solutions we view the preparation of the income tax return as a time for an annual financial checkup. The tax laws are complicated and confusing to many individuals. Each taxpayer’s situation is unique and might change from year to year. The income tax return itself is very complex since a minor change in one area of the return can affect several other areas of the return. Certain transactions that occur during the year can cost you much more than you anticipated. This is because of the affect an increase in total income can have on certain deductions and credits that have phase out limits.


Of course I recommend that you have your taxes professionally prepared so that you can: 1) ask questions pertaining to your return: 2) understand your options to lower your taxes for the next year and 3) have someone who you can call if a particular situation should arise during the year. With your previous year’s data in our computers we can give realistic advice instead of assumptions. Many of our clients take advantage of this service which is included in their one time preparation fee.

I realize that not all returns are so complicated as to require professional preparation. Self preparers however should consider having their taxes professionally prepared at least once every 3 to 4 years. Tax preparation software is not intelligent software. The software simply adds and subtracts data inputs based upon answering yes and no questions. The user cannot interact with the software by asking questions, and must spend time reviewing tax law, to answer the questions correctly. Having a return profession- ally prepared once every fourth year gives the self preparer the opportunity to verify their understanding of the tax laws, allows them to ask pertinent questions pertaining to their unique situations, and most important, gives them the peace of mind that they have fulfilled a financial checkup. Mistakes made on previous returns have a three year window for amendment. Many mistakes that we have found over the years would have cost taxpayers much more than a tax preparation fee. Over the past several years many of our first time clients had errors on their previous year’s returns. These clients benefited from amended returns with refunds of $250 to $3000 because of such errors. The errors found were not only from self prepared returns or from an interpretation of tax law but from inexperience. When having your tax returns professionally prepared, do not hesitate to ask for references and question the experience of your tax preparer. Next week – Taxes: They are a ‘Changing.
