OC TAX FILING · ORANGE COUNTY

Tax Preparation for Seniors in Orange County

Get help preparing your return when you have retirement income, pension statements, Social Security documents or investments. Bring your questions, and we will work through the information needed.

HOW WE HELP

Make sense of your retirement documents

Retirement can change the documents you receive at tax time. You may have statements from several accounts, Social Security records, investment income or wages from part-time work.

We start by reviewing the types of income you have and the year you need to file. Tell us about changes in your family, work or living arrangements and bring any questions about your documents.

If a family member is helping you get organized, let us know. We will discuss the appropriate permissions before sharing your private information.

WHAT WE CAN DISCUSS

  • Review of your retirement and other income documents
  • Preparation of the agreed federal and California returns
  • Questions about missing documents and changes in your circumstances
  • Time to review your prepared return and ask questions

The exact work is confirmed before your preparation begins.
