Leading up to my appointment, I was very apprehensive and stressed. I'm fairly new to the gig worker/delivery world. I was very intimidated and confused by the whole business expense deductions issue. Djenald was very accommodating and welcoming and immediately put me at ease. I had done my 2024 return myself with TaxAct and had to pay $450. I got the referral to Mr TaxesPro through the IRS website, so they were immediately reputable.

Djenald just did my 2025 return where my gig work income was approx 3x the amount of the previous year and it ended up that instead of having to pay this year, I'll actually be getting a refund. I loved that he didn't just do it, he explained everything that he was doing. He was even suggesting apps that I could utilize to help keep track of my business expenses going forward. I intend to utilize him every year from now on.

Mr. Tax Pro has been nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and reliable every time I've dealt with him. He's not only a great tax professional, but also a genuinely good guy. He takes the time to explain things, makes sure you understand the process, and treats people with respect.

If you're looking for someone you can trust with your taxes and someone who truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Mr. Tax Pro. 5 stars all the way!

I'm telling everybody this is the best place to have your taxes done. I had Alabama taxes that were overdue 2–3 years ago and still got my refunds and everything was straight on the money.

Thank you so much for what you do for the people. I have been spreading your name around. Thank you again.

You'll get a secure link to upload everything from your phone or laptop. We'll tell you exactly what we need, no guessing.

Review, File & Plan Ahead

Who We Help

Start where you are

First year filing or seasoned business owner, pick the one that sounds like you.

In Plain English

What we actually do

What is tax preparation?

We fill out and file your tax return for the year that just ended. You bring your forms. We make sure it's right and nothing gets missed.

What is tax planning?

We look at your money before the year ends, so you can make moves that lower your bill. After December 31, most of those moves are gone.

What happens on the free call?

Fifteen minutes by phone. You tell us what's going on. We tell you what the work looks like and what it costs. No pitch, no pressure.

Money People Leave Behind

Small things that add up

If you work for yourself, these are three of the most common write-offs people miss.

$3,625
5,000 business miles

Driving for work

Drive for your own business or gig work? The IRS rate is 72.5 cents a mile for 2026. Most people never track it.

$1,500
Up to 300 sq ft

Working from home

Self-employed with a space used only for work? The simple method is $5 a square foot, up to $1,500.

$24,500
2026 Solo 401(k) limit

Saving for retirement

Self-employed? A Solo 401(k) lets you set aside up to $24,500 of your own pay, which can lower what you owe.

Examples based on 2026 IRS rules. Your situation is different, and no tax savings are promised or guaranteed. Book a free call and we'll tell you what applies to you.

How we work

Three ways to work with us

Two of them are seasonal. One of them runs all year. That's the one that changes your outcome.

January – April

Tax Preparation

Accurate, on-time filing for individuals, couples, and business owners. We handle the return and make sure nothing gets missed.

  • Individual and joint returns (Form 1040)
  • Self-employed & Schedule C
  • Small business & corporate returns
  • Prior-year and amended returns, in person or virtual
  • ITIN applications
  • File in person or fully virtual
May – December

Tax Planning

The work that happens before the year closes. Once December 31 passes, most of your options are gone. Planning is how you keep them open.

  • Entity structure: LLC vs. S-corp timing
  • Quarterly estimated payment strategy
  • Retirement plan setup (SEP-IRA, Solo 401(k))
  • Home office & vehicle deduction planning
  • Year-end moves before the window closes
  • Ongoing check-ins, not a once-a-year visit
Year-Round

Accounting & Bookkeeping

Clean books are what make planning possible. We keep the records straight through the year so nothing has to be reconstructed in April.

  • Monthly & quarterly bookkeeping
  • Catch-up and cleanup of prior periods
  • Profit and loss reporting you can read
  • Payroll coordination
  • Entity formation & EIN registration
  • Bank and expense reconciliation

"By the time most people sit down with a tax preparer, the year is already over. My job is to have that conversation while you can still do something about it."

Seasonal Offer

Refund advances available, up to $7,000 same day

Qualified filers can access a portion of their expected refund the same day they file, so you're not waiting on the IRS to handle what's in front of you.

Advance amount is not guaranteed and is subject to approval by the issuing bank, underwriting criteria, and the size of your expected refund. Not all applicants qualify. Terms, conditions, and fees apply. Ask us for full details before you file.

Common Questions

Before you call

The things people ask us most, answered straight.

Do I have to come to the office?

No. We work with clients entirely online. You send documents from your phone or laptop and we walk through the return by phone or video. Plenty of people still prefer sitting across the desk in Oakland Park, and that's available too.

What does it cost?

It depends on the work. A single W-2 return and a self-employed return with a home office, a vehicle, and equipment purchases are very different jobs, and pretending otherwise means someone is being overcharged.

The first conversation is free. We look at your situation, tell you what's involved, and quote it before anything starts.

I haven't filed in a few years. Can you help?

Yes, and you're not the first. Prior-year returns are routine work here. The longer they sit the more they cost, so the useful thing is to start. We'll tell you exactly what we need and handle the sequence.

I need to fix a return I already filed.

Very common. Don't stress. We can file an amended return to correct it. Call us and bring a copy of what you filed.

When should I apply for an ITIN?

Reach out early in the year, before you're ready to file. ITIN applications take time at the IRS, and starting early keeps your return from waiting on it.

What's the difference between tax planning and tax preparation?

Preparation is reporting what already happened. By the time you sit down in February, the year is closed and most of your options are gone.

Planning happens while you can still act: choosing an entity structure, setting up a retirement plan, timing a purchase. It's the difference between recording the score and playing the game.

What documents should I bring?

Photo ID, Social Security or ITIN documentation for everyone on the return, all income forms (W-2, 1099), and last year's return if you have it. If you're self-employed, bring whatever expense records you keep, however messy.

We'll send a specific list once we know your situation. Don't wait until you have everything to reach out.

I got a letter from the IRS. What now?

Most letters are routine and fixable. The worst thing you can do is ignore it. Call us with the letter in hand. The number in the top corner tells us what it is and how long you have.

Can I get part of my refund early?

Refund advances are available to qualified filers during the season, up to $7,000 the same day you file. The amount is not guaranteed and is subject to approval by the issuing bank, underwriting criteria, and the size of your expected refund. Not all applicants qualify, and terms and fees apply, so ask us for full details before you file.
