Tax Return Preparation

As tax attorneys, Dutton Legal Group assists small businesses and sole proprietorships in all types of tax problems, including current and delinquent tax return preparation.

See how we line up with what the IRS considers reputable tax preparers.

The IRS’s first requirement to be eligible for resolution of back taxes is “compliance.” Compliance means that you have filed every tax return that you are required to file.

Do You Have Unfiled Tax Returns?

In the case of old tax returns that were not filed, you can turn to us at Dutton Legal Group. Sometimes old tax information is lost, making it difficult or impossible for you to prepare returns.

With your consent, we can collect all wage and income information associated with your Social Security Number for old tax years, to make sure you include all income that must be included on your return.

Get Assistance with Current Tax Return Preparation

Not only do we prepare old tax years, Dutton Legal Group prepares current tax year returns, too.

The Internal Revenue Code is perhaps the most complex set of rules in the nation. As your business grows, the more complicated your tax situation may become. There is a good chance you are not taking advantage of the tax savings and strategies available to small businesses.

We ensure that our clients take full advantage of the tax exemptions, deductions, and credits. We meticulously track any changes in the tax law and advise our clients.
