Tax Preparation Service for Individuals and Families

Picture
With our knowledge and experience preparing returns under the new Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (TCJA) tax laws, we'll help you take advantage of the new tax credits and deductions to minimize your tax liability.  We can also help you develop simple strategies that will put you above and beyond the standard deduction so that you can itemize on Schedule A.

If you rented out a house/room, earned consulting income, were a partner in a partnership, or owned certain stock, we will help you claim the new QBI 20% deduction.   Beyond tax preparation, we are always available throughout the year to assist you with tax related events so that you can make the right decisions.

“CWA (Claeys Wolkens & Associates) managed to take what was, for me, an overwhelmingly complex financial mess, and sort it out.  They did so gently and compassionately, assuming the entire burden of something that had been weighing me down for years.  In short, they worked a complete miracle, and I now understand the value of having a personal accountant.  They made sense of what seemed like a foreign language, and I'll be forever grateful.”
