Santa Cruz Tax Preparation Service

Dollars and Sense, a California income tax preparation service, will guide you through the maze of tax laws. We are experts at tax preparation, and can help you maximize the deductions for which you are entitled.

To get started, please download and complete the Tax Organizer and checklist tax preparation form. This will help you (and us) to gather and arrange the correct information for easy and accurate tax preparation.

Once complete, please call us for an appointment. We will sit down, review your answers and find ways to fulfill your tax obligation while also minimizing your tax burden.

Our focus is tax avoidance, the legal process of finding ways to minimize your taxes. (The illegal version is called tax evasion) Most people are entitled to more deductions than they are aware. As experts in tax preparation, we know what questions to ask you in order to determine your greatest benefit.
