About A Plus LLC Income Tax Service & Immigration Docs

A Plus LLC Income Tax Service & Immigration Docs prepares tax returns for clients in Tempe, Arizona, the everyday work of individual filings, e-filing and state returns. Every paid preparer must have a PTIN, so ask for it, and ask what credential stands behind it: a CPA, an enrolled agent and an unlicensed preparer are not the same thing when a notice arrives in the summer.

Seasonal and year-round offices that prepare and e-file individual returns. Ask for the preparer's PTIN and what credential, if any, stands behind it.

What a tax preparation service typically handles

This is the standard scope for this kind of practice, not a verified list of what this firm offers. Call to confirm credentials, availability and fees.

Questions worth asking before you hire

1. What is your PTIN, and what credential stands behind it?
2. What does a return like mine cost, and what would make that go up?
3. Who actually prepares the return, and who reviews it before it is signed?
4. Are you open outside filing season if a notice arrives in July?
5. Will you e-file, and will the refund go directly to my own account?
6. What happens, and what does it cost, if there is an error on the return?

Our guide to choosing a tax preparer explains why the answers matter, and the credentials guide covers who can represent you if the IRS writes.
