Tax season can feel simple until your financial life gets more complicated.
A new job, 1099 income, retirement distributions, investment activity, a side business, dependents, prior-year issues, or an IRS notice can all turn a basic Form 1040 into something that deserves a closer look.
At S. Godoy & Associates LLC, we help individuals and families throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area prepare their personal tax returns with a clear, organized process and year-round support.
Who May Need Help With a Form 1040?
You may benefit from professional tax preparation if your return includes:
W-2 income
1099 income
Self-employment or side-business income
Social Security benefits
Pension income
IRA or 401(k) distributions
Investment income
Stock sales or capital gains
Rental property income
Dependents
Estimated tax payments
Prior-year tax returns
Amended returns
IRS notices
The more tax documents and income sources you have, the easier it can be to miss something or become unsure about how it should be reported.
Do Not Wait Until the Last Minute
One of the best ways to make tax season less stressful is to start organizing early.
Keep your W-2s, 1099s, retirement statements, investment forms, mortgage documents, charitable contribution records, and other tax information together as they arrive.
If you had major changes during the year, such as starting a business, selling property, changing jobs, retiring, or receiving significant 1099 income, it may also be helpful to discuss those changes before filing.
What If You Have 1099 or Self-Employment Income?
If you are an independent contractor, consultant, freelancer, or small business owner, your personal return may also include business income and expenses.
This can affect self-employment taxes, estimated tax payments, business deductions, retirement contributions, and overall taxable income.
Accurate records throughout the year can make tax preparation much easier.
Tax Preparation for Seniors
Seniors may have several sources of income to report, including Social Security, pensions, retirement distributions, investments, and part-time employment.
At S. Godoy & Associates LLC, we work with seniors who prefer a more personal approach to tax preparation and want the opportunity to ask questions about what is being reported.
Both in-person and virtual tax preparation options are available.
Behind on Prior-Year Returns?
If you have one or more unfiled personal tax returns, you do not have to keep putting the problem off.
Our team can help identify missing tax years, organize available records, prepare prior-year Form 1040 returns, and review IRS notices related to those filings.
