If you’re in Branson, Missouri, and need to get your taxes done, you have a few options.
Hire a Branson CPA
One option is to hire a professional tax preparer (i.e., CPA) – there are lots of these in the area who can help you out. You can find a list of local tax preparers online or ask friends or family for recommendations.
Some of the best professional tax preparers in Branson, MO:
Taylor & Associates (hey, that’s us!)
The advantage of using a Branson area CPA to do your taxes is the additional small business services they can provide: accounting, payroll, consulting, etc.
Use Tax Software
Alternatively, you can use tax software to prepare and file your taxes electronically. These programs are usually pretty user-friendly and can be a good choice if you feel comfortable doing your own taxes. But if your tax situation is involved (maybe a business or significant investment), then you might want to go elsewhere.
Consider a Branson Tax Preparation Service
Another option is to use a tax preparation service – there are a few around Branson with trained professionals who can help you prepare and file your tax return. We don’t recommend these services for business owners, but some individuals might find them useful.
Use a Branson Volunteer Tax Preparation Site
Lastly, you could visit a volunteer tax preparation site – there are a few organizations in the area that offer free tax prep assistance to low-income individuals and families, usually staffed by trained volunteers.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
All of those offer free assistance to low- and moderate-income taxpayers. These organizations might have specific eligibility requirements and may only be available at certain times, so it’s a good idea to check with them directly to see if they can help you and make an appointment.
Choosing a reputable and trustworthy tax preparer or service is important to ensure your tax return is done accurately and on time.
