What individual tax preparation includes
Credits and deductions review
Review your household and eligible expenses before choosing how to file. We check the details behind family, education and other potential tax benefits.
Electronic filing
Review the completed return together before you authorize filing. Discuss payment or direct deposit details so you understand the next step after submission.
Start your annual return with what changed this year
Last year’s return is a useful starting point. It can help identify income statements to expect and questions worth asking. It doesn’t replace a conversation about this year.
Tell us about a job change, new family member, school expenses or a home transaction. Bring up any tax letter you received, too. Those details help shape a document list that fits your situation.
Understand the return before you sign
A refund or balance due is only part of the picture. Ask what drove the result, which documents supported it and what you may want to revisit next year.
If your return raises a planning question, such as income with little withholding, we can discuss year-round planning separately. If rental property or business income adds complexity, we can identify the appropriate service at the start.

Your questions
Individual tax preparation questions
These answers explain the service and what to prepare. Contact us to discuss your own circumstances.
01What should I have ready for tax preparation?
Start with last year’s return and this year’s income statements, including W-2 and applicable 1099 forms. Gather records for relevant family, education and deduction questions. We will identify additional documents for your return.
02How much does annual tax preparation cost?
The initial consultation is free. Preparation fees depend on your return, the forms involved and the work required. Discuss the scope with us before the work begins.
03How long will my return take?
Timing depends on the complexity of your return and whether all documents are available. We can discuss expected timing after reviewing your needs. Tax agency processing and refund timing are separate from preparation.
04Can you help if I live or work outside Homer Glen?
Yes. JK Tax Services serves nearby communities and offers remote service. Tell us if you moved or earned income in another state so we can assess the filing requirements.
05Should I use the standard deduction or itemize?
That choice depends on your filing situation and eligible expenses. We review the available information and compare the applicable approaches, rather than assuming last year’s choice still fits.
