A retiree came in to her free consultation feeling overwhelmed after a year with multiple 1099s and a few account changes. After we walked through everything together, she told us the best part was simply having it explained clearly, step by step.

That peace of mind is what we aim for every season.

If you schedule a free tax consultation before the season begins, a smooth appointment usually comes down to having the right documents in one place. Here are a few common items to gather:

• Social Security (SSA-1099)
• Pension/annuity forms (1099-R)
• Interest/dividends (1099-INT / 1099-DIV)
• Any tax documents for IRA withdrawals or RMDs
• Last year’s tax return (helpful for continuity)

If you’re not sure what applies to you, we’re happy to guide you.

Think tax myths only confuse seniors?

Not true. Social Security, retirement income, and even your filing plan can be easier to understand with the right guidance, and not every preparer knows how to handle senior tax situations well.

Social Security & Retirement Income Tax Basics

Many retirees are surprised to learn that Social Security benefits can be taxable. Here's what you should know:

If your combined income (adjusted gross income + non-taxable interest + half of Social Security) exceeds certain thresholds, 50% to 85% of your benefits may be subject to tax.

Please note: The current senior tax credit in effect from 2025 to 2028 offsets some or all of the tax, depending on your return information.

This is general information. The specifics depend on your individual situation.
