Top 10 Reasons for You to Use StrataTax

1. Clear Pricing for Tax Preparation

You will know upfront exactly how much it will cost to file your return. StrataTax recognizes and respects your time and budget.  We believe in removing financial uncertainty, not producing it.  Unlike most other tax preparation companies that charge you hourly or per form/schedule, our flat fee prices are very straightforward.

2. Former IRS Agents

Our team is led by a former IRS Auditor.  He has trained all of the consultants at StrataTax on what tax issues are commonly examined by the IRS on individual and business tax returns.  In addition, we have other ex-IRS Agents, such as auditors and collection specialists, working with us and ready to help you.

3. All Tax Returns Prepared, Reviewed and Signed by either a CPA or EA

Each tax return prepared by StrataTax is prepared, reviewed and signed by either a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or an Enrolled Agent (EA).  These people have the technical expertise in the field of taxation to help you the most. You can be confident that your tax return was prepared by a first-class consultant who is knowledgeable of the complex tax laws.

4. Save Time and Avoid Stress by Using a StrataTax Tax Preparer

According to the IRS, the average taxpayer will need 16 hours to prepare a 2012 individual tax return (Form 1040) and 23 hours to prepare a 2012 business tax return (Schedule C – Sole Proprietorship). With StrataTax, you will spend less time preparing your taxes and more time doing something you enjoy. Let our tax preparers handle the complex tax laws for you and give you peace of mind that your tax return is being prepared correctly.
