Families in Klein can have their individual returns prepared by Blaga Veleva, EA, at the Tax & Business Solutions office on FM 1960 West or entirely through the secure portal. She reviews every form you bring, from W-2s to brokerage statements, and answers your questions about the return before anything is filed.
What should a family bring to get a return prepared?
Bring every tax form that came in the mail or showed up in an online account, plus last year's return. A typical household list:
- W-2s for each job, and any 1099s for interest, dividends or side work
- Form 1098 for mortgage interest, and property tax records
- Child care costs with the provider's tax ID
- Education costs and student loan interest statements
- Any letter the IRS sent during the year
Mention a new home, a new child or a new job right away, because each of those tends to bring forms you have not seen before.
If something is missing, your IRS wage and income transcript can often fill the gap. More detail is on the individual tax preparation page.
Why have an Enrolled Agent prepare a family return?
Because the person who prepares it can also stand behind it. An EA earns that status from the IRS and keeps it with 72 hours of continuing education every three years (IRS Enrolled Agent information). If the IRS later questions your household return, Blaga can represent you on it. She also checks details that often trip up household returns, such as a dependent claimed by two people or a Social Security number typed wrong.
That continuity matters when a family return has many moving parts: two incomes, children, a home and a few investment accounts.
What changes on a family return from one year to the next?
Life events change the return more than anything else. A new baby, a child aging out of a credit or starting college, a marriage, a divorce, a move or a new job can each shift credits and filing status. Blaga asks about these at the start, so nothing is copied forward from last year on autopilot.
If you expect a big change next year, a short tax planning conversation now can help you adjust withholding in time.
A teenager with a summer job may need a return of their own, too. Preparing it at the same time as yours keeps the dependent and income details consistent.
What if the IRS writes to us after the return is filed?
Send the letter to Blaga as soon as it arrives. One letter that can follow a household return is a CP2000, which proposes changes when income an employer or bank reported does not match what was filed. It is not a bill, yet it does need a reply by the date listed. Since she prepared the return, she can line it up against the IRS figures quickly.
Other letters may ask you to verify your identity or confirm a dependent. Whatever arrives, read the deadline printed on it first, and do not send a reply until someone has checked it against the return.
Can both spouses work with the office remotely?
Yes. Each spouse can upload documents to the same secure client portal, and you can review the finished return from home. You can also book one sit-down at the FM 1960 office to go over the year, then handle the rest online. Either way, your family keeps the same preparer and the same file each year, which makes the next return faster to put together. Keeping both spouses' papers in one place also makes it easier to notice a form one of you forgot.

Questions people ask
Q1Do I have to come to the office?
No. Klein families can send everything through the portal and talk by phone. Meeting on FM 1960 West is an option, never a requirement.
Q2Can you file our older returns too?
Yes. Prior-year returns can be prepared as well. If more than one year is missing, the unfiled returns page explains how a catch-up is handled.
Q3How do we know which filing status is right for us?
Blaga looks at your marital status on the last day of the year, who lives in the home and who pays the household costs, then explains which status fits and why. The choice can affect credits and the standard deduction, so it is worth confirming every year.
