Tax Preparation Services

Tax Return Preparation Services for Individuals & Businesses

Filing your taxes shouldn’t feel like guessing. At Harper Tax CPA, we provide professional tax return preparation for individuals and business owners, with service tiers designed around the complexity of your situation, not just the forms you file.

Whether you’re a W-2 employee, an investor, a side-gig earner, or you run a corporation or partnership, we handle the details so you can file with confidence and stay focused on your life and business.

Our tax return services align directly with the tiers and descriptions on our
Tax Return Pricing page—without you having to worry about which forms you need or how to complete them.

Who We Prepare Tax Returns For

Individuals & Families

• W-2 employees (one or multiple jobs)

• Households with children, dependents, or education expenses

• Individuals with investments, stock sales, or retirement accounts

• Single-state or multi-state filers

Investors & Side-Gig Earners

• Freelancers and independent contractors

• Short-term and long-term rental property owners

• Taxpayers with brokerage accounts, RSUs, or capital gains

• Individuals with income spread across multiple states

Business Owners & Entities

• Single-state and multi-state businesses

• LLCs, partnerships, S corporations, and C corporations

• Professional service firms and small to mid-sized businesses

If your situation is more than “just a simple return,” this is exactly who we designed our service tiers for.

Our Tax Return Service Tiers

Our return tiers match the structure on the
Tax Return Pricing page—here’s what each tier includes, without discussing dollar amounts.

Essential Return – For Straightforward Individual Returns

Best for W-2 earners filing in a single state with a relatively simple tax situation.

Includes:

• Preparation of your federal and single-state individual tax return

• Review by a licensed CPA, not just a software checklist

• E-file support, including electronic filing and confirmation

• Basic guidance on next steps so you understand your filing, not just sign it

If you primarily receive W-2 wages and want a professional, compliant return with CPA oversight, this tier is built for you.

Enhanced Return – For Investors, Side-Gigs & Rentals

Designed for individuals whose returns go beyond wages—such as investments, side businesses, or rental properties, and those who may have multi-state filing.

Includes:

• Full preparation of your individual tax return, including:

  • Schedule C (sole proprietors, freelancers, small side businesses)

  • Schedule E (rental properties and related activities)

• State apportionment support when income or activity spans more than one state

• Qualified Business Income (QBI) calculation where applicable

• Email and secure app support so you can ask questions and upload documents easily

This tier is ideal if you have multiple income sources and want a CPA to accurately capture deductions, handle state nuances, and optimize your return.

Business Return – For Single-State Business Entities

Built for single-state business owners who need entity-level returns filed correctly and reviewed carefully.

Includes:

• Preparation of one business entity return, such as:

  • Form 1120-S (S corporations)

  • Form 1065 (partnerships/LLC taxed as a partnership)

  • Form 1120 (C corporations)

• A financial review of key balance sheet items, so major issues or inconsistencies are identified

• Owner basis tracking to help keep distributions and losses compliant and properly reported

• Suggestions on how to save taxes going forward, based on what we see in your entity’s books and return

This tier is ideal if your business operates in one primary state but you want more than “just a filed return”—you want a CPA’s eyes on your financials and strategy.

Advanced Business Return – For Multi-State & Complex Businesses

For multi-state business owners and more complex entities where operations, sales, or owners span multiple jurisdictions.

Includes:

• Preparation of complex business returns (1120-S, 1065, 1120) with higher complexity

• Multi-state allocations and apportionment so income is correctly reported and taxed in each state

• Support related to PTET (Pass-Through Entity Tax) elections, where applicable and beneficial

• A mid-year or year-end planning call focused on changes, growth, and opportunities for improvement before the next filing season

If your entity has grown beyond a single state or your ownership structure and operations are more sophisticated, this tier is designed to match that complexity.

What You Get With Every Tax Return Engagement

Regardless of which tier fits you, every tax return client at Harper Tax CPA receives:

• Professional preparation of all included federal and state tax returns

• A CPA review for accuracy and compliance

• Secure electronic filing (e-file) and confirmation

• Access to a secure online portal to upload documents, sign forms, and track progress

• Clear communication on what was filed and what to expect next

We don’t just run your numbers through software and hand you a stack of papers—we help you understand your return.

Our Tax Return Process

1. Onboarding & Document Collection
   You complete a short intake and upload prior returns, W-2s, 1099s, statements, and business records through our secure portal.

2. Preparation & CPA Review
   We prepare your return based on your documents and follow-up questions, then a CPA performs a thorough review.

3. Client Review & Questions
   You receive a draft of your return to review. We address questions, explain key items, and make sure you’re comfortable with the results.

4. E-Filing & Copies
   Once you approve, we e-file your federal and state returns when available and provide you with copies for your records, along with instructions for any payments or refunds.
