Expert Tax Preparation

Preparing your own tax return can be confusing, frustrating, and costly, as constantly-changing tax laws can perplex even the savviest taxpayer, and money-saving deductions and credits can easily be overlooked. An experienced tax professional can save time, stress, and money…that’s why a study released by the US government last year revealed that most taxpayers feel they benefit from using a professional tax preparer. At Geris Zebarth, Inc., our tax experts put their knowledge and experience to work for you - they know the tax code and constantly study changes in tax policy to understand how those changes affect you, and they will accurately prepare your return to take advantage of all of the deductions and credits to which you are entitled.
