FAQs

  • Who should use a CPA for individual tax returns?

    Anyone with more than just a W-2—especially high earners, real estate investors, business owners, or those with multi-state or complex investment income—benefits from a CPA’s expertise.

  • Can you help if I have income from other states ?

    Yes. We regularly prepare returns for clients with out-of-state  income, ensuring every form is handled properly and you stay compliant everywhere you file.

  • What documents do I need to provide for tax prep?

    We’ll send you a checklist, but typical items include W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, investment reports, prior year returns, and any documents for real estate or major life changes.

  • How do mid-year checkups work?

    PLW will send out an email inviting you to schedule an appointment with a CPA to discuss any life or investment changes, and project your tax situation so there are no big surprises at filing time.

  • What if I get audited or the IRS contacts me?
