At Blankenship CPA Group we prepare over 7,000 returns each year for businesses, not-for-profits, individuals, trusts and estates. 

Preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more questions than answers. According to a study released by the US Government's General Accounting Office last year, most taxpayers (77% of 71 million taxpayers) believe they benefited from using a professional tax preparer.

Whether we like it or not, today's tax laws are so complicated that filing a relatively simple return can be confusing. It is just too easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled. Even if you use a computer software program there's no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional, as a computer program generally only does what you tell it to do. There is no substitute for an accounting professional who passed the CPA exam and has been doing tax work for two or three decades.

Here is how we serve you...

• Your tax return will be prepared in house by one of our experienced CPAs who will help you think of all the things that can work to minimize your tax liability, and will be checked and rechecked by one of the most advanced tax software programs on the market to ensure completeness and accuracy.

• Every return prepared at Blankenship CPA Group, whether it is a Corporation form 1120 or 1120S, Partnership form 1065, Individual form 1040, Not-For-Profit form 990, Trust form 1041, or any of the other returns we regularly prepare at the firm, it will be prepared by an experienced professional and reviewed and signed off on by one of our CPAs.

• Your tax return can be filed electronically so you will get a refund back quicker.

• We will help you plan for the year ahead to limit your tax liability by taking advantage of any applicable area of the quite complicated Internal Revenue Code.
