A clearer path.
Your life changes. Your tax questions change with it. Bring your personal or small business filing needs to TAXMA, organize the details with your preparer, and understand what comes next.

Start organized. Move forward informed.
Bring the right information.
Gather income records, your prior return, and records for the expenses or credits you want to discuss. Ask your office for a checklist tailored to your situation.
Review your next steps.
Discuss your questions and review your information with the preparer before authorizing your return.
Prepare for your visit
Your document checklist.
- Current photo identification for the appointment

Know your service
Clear expectations, from the start.
