A clear preparation process
From documents to a reviewed return.
The exact steps vary by taxpayer, return type and filing year.
Start with your situation
Tell the preparer which year you need to file and whether you have employment, self-employment, business or other income.
Organize documents
Gather identification, income statements and records supporting expenses, deductions or credits.
Review the return
Confirm names, identification numbers, income, bank details and filing choices before authorization.
Keep your records
Save a complete copy of the filed return and supporting information for your records.
Prepare for your visit
Bring the records that tell the full story.
Missing or inconsistent documents can slow preparation. A short pre-appointment checklist helps your preparer identify follow-up questions early.
Privacy: Do not send Social Security numbers, ITINs or tax documents through ordinary email. Ask the office which secure delivery method to use.

Common questions
Clear answers before you begin.
Can AmeriTax help with self-employed tax preparation?
Yes. Bring records of business or gig income, expenses, mileage, estimated payments and any Forms 1099. The preparer will determine what additional information is needed.
Can I get tax help outside filing season?
AmeriTax offers year-round service. Office hours and professional availability can vary, so contact your preferred location before visiting.
Does Texas require an individual state income tax return?
Texas does not impose an individual state income tax. A return for another state may still apply if you lived or worked elsewhere; discuss your specific facts with a qualified preparer.
What if I cannot file by the original deadline?
A filing extension may provide more time to file, but it generally does not provide more time to pay tax due. See our tax extension page and current IRS guidance.
