When it's time for the whole family to move forward, Green Gems Tax Advisors steps up to compile the numbers to propel your legacy forward. We will first start with our Get Started Intake to determine who's a required filer and which documentation is needed.
We also serve clients that used DIY software, have errors, and received audit letters for miscalculations who need amendments per the IRS request.
We dive further in our intake process to uncover every Deduction, Itemization, Credit, or Exemption that may be applicable for your situation.
The following Tax Checklist is to help guide you in locating the documents needed for an
accurate tax report. If the item listed does not apply to your unique tax
situation, please skip past them. If you have any questions along the way, feel
free to call or text the office at 833.944.6292.
