About Tax Preparation Fairfax Process

By Olivia Cross


It is a mandatory requirement that all taxpayers prepare their taxes. This process includes both resident individuals and corporate firms. The tax preparation process involves tax return forms filled with the taxpayer's annual tax details. Most taxpayers prefer to use the services of licensed professionals in filing their tax returns. This is due to the complex tax laws. The licensed professionals may be a certified public accountant, an attorney or a certified agent. With the right person for tax preparation Fairfax residents can rest assured that their filling will done in the right manner.

There are those sharp taxpayers who easily file tax returns on their own. The tech savvy taxpayers use either tax preparation software or online services. The internal revenue service or the relevant tax office uses return forms details to recalculate the information contained in it.

The information filled in the return form by the taxpayer is not taken as mere truth by tax office. That information has to be backed up by objective documentation. For instance an employer prepares an information return form of every employee's whole year income. This is sent directly to the employee and office. This tax officer uses this information return form to verify the accuracy of your tax return.

Licensed tax professionals do charge a certain rate for preparing you your tax return. These professionals are also screened by relevant tax bodies. These tax preparers are also taken through national exams to test their competency. The licensed professionals also required by the relevant tax office to forward details of their incomes for authentication and validity

Taxpayers making errors in their previous tax return form need not fear. This is because there is a form called an amended form to make such corrections. These corrections do not involve simple mathematical errors because those are accurately rectified by the tax officer. Some of those errors might include filling in your employment income in the business income portion.

There is an annual deadline for these income tax returns, April 15is the designated date. There are a number of ways one can forward their returns. You can do so electronically or mail it via post box or through designated mail carrier or other means available to you in Fairfax. All these means used to forward the returns must get to the tax office on or before the due date.

If a taxpayer decides to file their returns through other means not in person, the return is marked is delivered using the postmarked date. For instance if you make your return electronically a day earlier and so it will be noted as delivered on the day it was stamped as electronically mailed and not the day the office receives it.

A tax refund occurs when the officers recalculates your tax calculation and arrives at a figure that is lower than that you have indicated. This means that you have overpaid your taxes and that you are eligible for a refund. The office is therefore obligated to refund you. Tax office then mails you a note informing you of the excess amount that they owe you. It is with this note that you the taxpayer will use to come claim your tax refund.
