Helping middle-income taxpayers file their tax returns since 2018
Hi, I'm Richard.
I'm a licensed attorney in the District of Columbia and Massachusetts, and have been preparing tax returns for14 years. I have a full-time job in accounting and financial operations for Georgetown University, and in 2018 decided to start a small business to help taxpayers file their tax returns quickly, affordably, and accurately, without the hassle of self-help platforms, and with the security of having a professional stand behind your tax return.

Areas of Expertise
iTEMIZED DEDUCTIONS
Have you paid mortgage interest? State or local taxes? Did you give to charity or have unreimbursed expenses incurred working as a volunteer? Pay substantial medical expenses? Experience theft or casualty loss? We'll make sure to properly itemize your deductions if that would be the optimal way to file your taxes. And if it's not, we'll explain why.
RENTAL REAL ESTATE
Did you rent your house, apartment, or room through AirBnb? Or through another site, or independently? Unsure of what the tax consequences are? Uninterested in trying to navigate through AirBnb's self-help page? We'll help you sort out whether you need to report your income, what expenses you can deduct against your revenues, and accurately report it all.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
Did you run a small business? Receive a 1099-NEC or1099-MISC form? Receive income from small odd jobs, or other arrangements? We'll make sure to properly report your revenue and expenses so that you never have to worry about audits or debt to tax agencies. We'll also explain what does and doesn't qualify as an expense and why.
EDUCATION DEDUCTIONS & CREDITS
Education credits are confusing, because there are so many of them. We'll help you sort out the difference between the American Opportunity Credit, Lifetime Learning Credit, and Student Loan Interest Deduction. We'll explain the differences and the limitations that apply, and make sure you claim the optimal one you're eligible for.
CAPITAL GAINS
Did you sell stocks, real estate, or other valuables during the year? Unsure of what your tax liability is? We'll make sure to help you properly calculate basis and determine long-term or short-term holding status. We'll make sure that you're paying the right rate, and that any expenses are properly deducted from your income.
Filing status, dependents, and other credits
Sometimes status is more complicated than just single or married. Are you interested in finding out what the benefits and drawbacks are of Married Filing Jointly versus Married Filing Separately? Need to claim a credit for a relative living with you or for dependent care expenses? Curious why you don't qualify for the Earned Income Credit? We'll explain and file your return accurately.
