Individual Tax Preparation

We help individuals and families file their personal taxes with confidence. Whether you’re filing for the first time, have multiple income sources, or just want to make sure you’re getting the biggest refund possible, we’re here to help.

We prepare federal and California state returns for all types of situations: W-2 income, 1099 contractors, self-employed workers, gig economy earners, retirees, students, and more. We take the time to understand your financial picture and apply every credit and deduction that applies to you, from the Earned Income Tax Credit to education expenses and beyond.

Our team explains things in simple words and takes the confusion out of tax filing. We offer in-person and remote appointments, so you can choose what works best for you. With Local Tax, you’ll get honest service, clear answers, and peace of mind knowing your taxes are done right and on time.
