Maco & Associates is a one-stop shop for all your Individual Tax Preparation and Consultation needs. We prepare taxes of varying complexities for our clients, who include college students, self-employed individuals, retirees, the elderly, and everyone in between. We do not merely enter your data into a program and hit “send”, and there are no “cookie cutter” returns. Your return is handled like it’s the only one we have.

What sets us apart is our desire to save you money on your taxes, now and in the future. We always ask questions to ensure that every deduction that can legally be taken is presented to you. We pride ourselves on our quality and accuracy, but we are also very creative, and help you with Tax Minimization Strategies for long-term planning.

We can handle situations including:

  • Capital Gains & Losses (Sch. D)
  • Profit/Loss from a Business (Sch. C)
  • Supplemental Income or Loss (Sch. E)
  • Pass-Through Income from a Business (Sch. K-1)
  • Self-Employment Taxes (Sch. SE)
  • Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
  • Recovery Rebate Credits
  • Tax Incentives for Higher Education
  • Local Tax Returns
  • Estimated Taxes

Tax Season is a year-round event to us, so we’re available year-round to discuss tax issues that may come up unexpectedly. We offer electronic filing of Federal and State returns free of charge. If you’re located outside of Pennsylvania, no problem! We have clients across the US, and we prepare returns remotely, and also consult remotely.

For even more peace of mind, we offer Audit Shield protection, meaning that if we make a mistake, your penalties and interest or additional taxes assessed by the IRS (up to $2,500) will be paid directly to the taxing authority. Please note: Schedule C, E, and F clients are ineligible, as well as those who do not electronically file.

Maco & Associates strives to find a place in the heart and mind of every client we serve. Individual tax returns can be a tough and confusing matter to tackle alone, and it’s easy to miss opportunities if you don’t know where to look for them. And that’s what we do best. Because we keep up with all IRS changes and notices, we have a unique vantage point that helps our clients.

Let us be your tax preparation service; we make sense of your numbers and help you keep more of what you work so hard to earn.
