Individual Tax Preparation (Form 1040)

Individual Tax Preparation in Denver: Federal and Colorado Returns

CPA of Denver prepares federal and Colorado individual income tax returns for taxpayers with straightforward or complex filing needs. Our work includes careful review of income, deductions, credits, estimated payments, investment activity, rental property reporting, and state filing obligations.

Simple W-2 Return or a More Complex Tax Return?

The $99 fixed-fee engagement below is limited to qualifying W-2-only returns. If your return includes business income, rentals, investments, K-1s or other items outside that scope, contact us for an engagement review before paying.

Tax Planning for High-Income W-2 Households

Two earners, investment income, bonuses and equity compensation can call for more than a simple W-2 return. Work directly with Philip M. Falco, CPA, to coordinate federal and Colorado preparation with a year-end projection or ongoing planning under an agreed scope.
