  • How early should I meet with a CPA for tax planning each year?

    Meeting in the summer or fall is ideal so adjustments can be made before year-end. At Goodhart & Associates, we support clients year-round, not just during filing season.

  • What do I need to bring for my tax appointment?

    We recommend gathering W-2s, 1099s, mortgage interest statements, receipts for deductions, and last year’s return. Our Tax Organizer checklist makes it easy to know what to bring.

  • Can Goodhart help if I get an IRS notice or have past tax issues?

    Yes. We can help resolve tax problems, represent you before the IRS, or file back taxes. Our experience helps remove stress from situations that feel overwhelming.
