Pamela J. Craine, Owner/Certified Public Accountant
Hello! I'm Pamela. I am a Certified Public Accountant and QuickBooks ProAdvisor in Mesquite, TX. I've been preparing income tax returns and providing bookkeeping service since 2000.
SIMPLE INDIVIDUAL RETURNS For those individuals who file simple and routine tax returns, we offer the same electronic filing and direct deposit of your refund available at many national chain preparers. Based on history from current clients who have switched from chain preparers, our preparation fees are very competitive with national chains and in some cases are even lower. You won't pay a higher price just because we are a professional CPA firm. What you will get is friendly, personal service and we'll be around all year just in case you have any tax issues that show up after you've filed your return. Also, when we prepare your return, you can simply drop off your tax documents, complete a short information sheet, and we'll call you when we are finished! You don't have to wait in any long lines. For a simple return, we strive to have it completed for you in 1-2 days. Since the IRS processes refunds on a weekly basis, this process will NOT delay your refund in most cases, it only saves you valuable time. We ask that you give us a try this year. We think you'll be very happy with the service we provide.
COMPLICATED INDIVIDUAL RETURNS/SMALL BUSINESS RETURNS Although we handle the simplest of tax returns like the 1040EZ, we cater to individuals and small businesses whose income tax return has become too complicated for self-preparation. Our professional tax preparation software combined with our 11 years of experience can handle tax returns with unique tax situations.
CORPORATE/PARTNERSHIP RETURNS We file regular C Corporation, S Corporation, and Partnership returns as well. These returns consist of four to five page returns with many schedules and attachments and we have the software and experience to handle it all. We calculate your depreciation and year-end accounting adjustments for you.
FIDUCIARY RETURNS FOR ESTATES AND TRUSTS We are seeing more and more Fiduciary Tax Returns and can now assist you with the preparation and filing of Form 1041. An estate is a legal entity that holds title to a decendent's probate property from the date of death until the property is distributed to the heirs. Form 1041 must be filed for estates that have $600 or more gross income in the tax year. Don't overlook this filing requirement if you are the estate representative. Trusts are legal arrangements under which legal title to property is held by one party for the benefit of another. Form 1041 must be filed for Trusts that have any taxable income or gross income of $600 or more.
TAX PLANNING We offer tax planning services that help you anticipate your income tax due or refund for the coming year. Be proactive and learn how to manage your tax return. The June timeframe is the best time to take a look at where you are for the current year because there is still enough time left in the year to make adjustments to your withholding or make other changes that will lower your income tax that will be due at tax time or even plan for a refund! Please give us a call and schedule an appointment for this very affordable service that will give you a great peace of mind about your income taxes.
BOOKKEEPING AND PAYROLL SERVICE In addition to income tax preparation for both individuals and small businesses, we also offer bookkeeping and payroll preparation for small businesses. It is our goal to provide you with an accurate income tax return, and/or complete accounting of your business income and expenses, and friendly, efficient service.
QUICKBOOKS PRO ADVISOR We use QuickBooks Pro in our firm. We've found that it is user friendly, has great flexibility to suit your needs, and most of all, it is affordable. You can decide how much data entry you want to do at your level and we take care of the rest.
