| Tax Preparation & Multistate Returns |
| Some things are just meant to be left up to the professionals, and preparing your taxes is no different. As a matter of fact, with today’s ever changing tax laws, Willoughby & Associates, Inc. can handle your federal, state, local and multiple-state tax returns with an eye towards the latest tax requirements and laws. We offer tax preparation services to individuals, clergy and businesses. Many times by complying with the laws we are able to cover your cost by taking advantage of tax deductions and strategies the average individual misses |
 |
| Clergy Tax Preparation and Planning |
| As a member of the clergy you are faced with specialized tax rules. With specific tax situations applying to your salary, housing allowances and social security taxes, we offer you a variety of professional accounting services including personal income tax preparation. Many in the clergy think they pay more taxes than the average individual. In most cases that is not true and in reality they are not taking advantage of the specialized laws that benefit them. Joel Long is trained and educated on the tax laws that apply to the ministry, and has served the clergy community with tax and accounting services for over 15 years. |
|
| Electronic Tax Filing |
| We do not offer expense refund anticipation loans, however we do offer electronic filing which is where we accurately prepare your return then transmit it from our computers directly to the IRS computers. By doing this it allows us to expedite the processing of your refund and also minimizes IRS data entry errors. If you utilize direct deposit for your refund you can typically have it back in two weeks depending on IRS processing speeds. There is no extra fee for this service and it is an added benefit in your tax preparation with Willoughby & Associates. |
