Tips for Area Families During Tax Season

By Sponsored Advertising Content February 3, 2016
Taxes have become complicated, to the point where I believe the average person can’t feel totally comfortable completing an average tax return. If you’re thinking about using a professional tax preparer--please choose wisely--you want good value for expertise you can trust!

Here are a few things to look for in a tax preparer:

Do they have a PTIN and sign your tax return as the paid preparer?

Do they have any professional credentials to demonstrate their education, experience and knowledge?

Enrolled Agents (EA) are specifically tested on taxation by the IRS and have unlimited rights to represent you before the IRS!  

Are they available year-round to assist with questions, problems, letters, audits, etc.?  

Do they have a guarantee or warranty to back up their work?

How do they charge their fees? Do you pay additional for certain services, and when?

At Sonrise TagsAndTax, we are proud to employ five Enrolled Agents (EA’s)! Our motto is “Person-to-Person Service Makes the Difference,” because we feel our personal attention to our clients is what separates us from the competition. Our objective is to match each client with a preparer and to keep you together year after year, creating a relationship and familiarity that serves you best.  

When you use Sonrise for your tax preparation, you receive so much more than just a completed tax return --it’s an insurance policy! If anything ever “goes wrong” with that return (federal, state or local), we are there to resolve it for you.

A Sonrise prepared return comes with a warranty unlike any other in the industry. We are so confident in our product, that we will pay any interest, penalty AND up to $500 of tax assessed if it is the result of our error-included at NO ADDITIONAL COST!

We are a full service Tax Firm. If you need us, whether it is a phone call, answer to a question, tax planning, or consultation, we are there, at no additional cost, year-round!

As EAs, we are able to represent you before the IRS, whether due to a letter or an audit. Our fees are based on the complexity of your return and since no two returns are alike the fee varies from one return to the next. We will gladly provide an accurate quote if you provide us a copy of your previous return.

We specialize in individual returns, sole proprietor/home based businesses, residential rentals, and clergy tax matters. We also provide full notary & PennDOT services as well as payroll services, sales tax reporting & 1099 preparation.
