Conroe tax returns, prepared by Blaga Veleva, EA

Blaga does, personally. She is an Enrolled Agent, which the IRS calls the highest credential it awards, with more than 25 years in finance and taxation. There is no hand-off to a seasonal preparer.

That matters later. If the IRS ever writes about the return, the person who built it can answer for it. Read more about our individual tax preparation service.

You also keep one point of contact from year to year. She learns how your income is put together, which deductions you rely on, and which changes in your life might affect the next return, so each season starts from what she already knows rather than a blank form.

1. You get a login to our secure portal.
2. You upload W-2s, 1099s, mortgage statements and last year's return.
3. Blaga reviews them and calls or emails with any questions.
4. You look over the draft, sign electronically, and she files.

Everything stays in the portal afterward, so next year starts with your history already in place. The trip south on I-45 becomes optional rather than required.

Running late on a form? Upload what you have now and add the rest when it arrives. The portal keeps a clear list of what is still missing, and Blaga will not file until the set is complete and you have approved the draft.

Yes. Schedule C income, 1099 work and small partnerships are routine here. If you work for yourself, the self-employed tax preparation page explains how quarterly estimates and deductions get handled.

Owners with an LLC or S corporation can also have the business return and the personal return prepared together, which keeps the numbers consistent between the two. See business tax returns for that side.

Mixing business and personal spending is the most common snag. If that sounds familiar, a short bookkeeping clean-up before the return can turn a shoebox of receipts into totals that hold up, and it can uncover deductions that would otherwise be missed.

Catching up is common and fixable. Blaga can prepare prior-year returns and check your IRS account for notices you may not have seen.

The IRS charges a failure-to-file penalty of 5% of the unpaid tax for each month a return is late, up to 25%, so filing sooner usually costs less. Our unfiled returns page covers the steps.

Blaga starts by pulling your IRS transcripts to see which forms the IRS already holds for each missing year. That shows what income was reported in your name, and it lets her prepare the overdue returns from real figures instead of guesses.

Send it with your documents. A CP2000 proposing changes to income, for instance, often comes down to a 1099 that never made it onto the return. Blaga checks the IRS figures against yours before you agree to anything. Our other locations are listed under areas we serve.

Never pay a proposed amount just to make the letter go away. Sometimes the IRS figure is right; sometimes the income was already reported elsewhere on your return, or the cost basis on a sale was missing. A careful comparison tells you which.
