Tax Return Preparation Housekeeping

Before we blast off into the wild tax yonder, here are some tax preparation housekeeping things including team profiles, fee information (transparency!), engagement agreements, tax consultation and a whole bunch of other things.

Team Profiles

WCG CPAs & Advisors is not just a group of Colorado Springs CPAs or number crunchers- we are tax consultants and business advisors.

Fee Info

WCG CPAs & Advisors prides itself in being transparent and having a simple fee structure.

Engagement Agreement

The IRS, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and our Professional Liability Insurance provider are getting more stringent on Client Engagement Agreements.

Online Tax Accountant

WCG has been remotely preparing tax returns since 2007 using secure online client portals, text messaging, videoconferencing, and other technologies…

Deferrals V Savings

Many taxpayers walk into our offices at WCG and tell us they want to pay fewer taxes. Who doesn’t? We usually chuckle, and tell the client that he or she is the only one…

Tax Return Extension

All extended business, individual and trust / estate tax returns will be prepared in August or September provided we have everything we need from you.

Tax Consultation

WCG CPAs & Advisors has provided worldwide tax preparation and business advisory services from our Colorado Springs offices since 2007.

Tax Patrol Service

Tax Patrol is a wonderful tax service for those who don’t need all the business advisory bells and whistles, but from time to time want some love from an experienced tax consultant and business advisor.

Investor Patrol Service

WCG is happy to offer an additional service for our clients. On one hand we have our Business Advisory Service plans which are very comprehensive yet might contain some services that not everyone needs.

Reviewing and understanding your business tax returns are important things. In our virtual tax preparation world, sitting down with your CPA to review your tax return is a challenge.

Track Your Refund

The IRS is no longer giving out hard dates for refund deposits, but you can still use this handy tool to ensure your tax return was filed properly and the approximate date of refund deposit.

Tax Planning

Accurate estimated tax payments come from proper tax planning. There is nothing worse than the fear of the unknown since most human responses will be the worse case scenario.

Business Review (PBR)

Far too often business CPAs are simply compliance-oriented and are not a client advocate by helping owners understand general principles and subsequent business tax deductions.

Tax Audit Help

Our specialized knowledge of IRS tax settlement and audit procedures means proper representation of your interests before the IRS or other taxing agencies -this is critical to your success.

Client Reviews and Expectations

When doing business either online or face-to-face, you want peace of mind that things will go smoothly. Furthermore, if things don’t go as planned, then you want comfort in knowing they will be taken care of. WCG (formerly Watson CPA Group) takes customer service and satisfaction very seriously.

Tax Consultation

Do you have questions about taxes and tax deductions? Are you selling a rental and need some tax planning? Do you want WCG to prepare your tax returns and have some procedural questions? Let’s chat!

The tax advisors and business consultants at WCG are not salespeople; we are not putting lipstick on a pig expecting you to love it. Our job remains being professionally detached, giving you information and letting you decide within our ethical guidelines and your risk profiles.

We see far too many crazy schemes and half-baked ideas from attorneys and wealth managers. In some cases, they are good ideas. In most cases, all the entities, layering and mixed ownership is only the illusion of precision. As Chris Rock says, just because you can drive your car with your feet doesn’t make it a good idea. In other words, let’s not automatically convert “you can” into “you must.” Yes, it is fun to brag about how complicated your world is at cocktail parties, but let’s not unnecessarily complicate it for the bragging rights.

Let’s chat so you can be smart about it.

We typically schedule a 20-minute complimentary quick chat with one of our Partners or Senior Tax Professionals to determine if we are a good fit for each other, and how an engagement with our team looks. Tax returns only? Business advisory? Tax prep, and more importantly tax strategy and planning?

Should we need to schedule an additional consultation, our fee is $250 for 40 minutes. Fun! If we decide to press forward with a Business Advisory or Tax Patrol Services engagement, we will credit the consultation fee towards those services.
