Taxes, Positive Impacts, and Some Humor along the way…

Why Choose Spartan Tax Relief?

I am not your typical tax return professional. Here’s why you should make me your tax superhero:

1. Investment & Crypto Expertise:
– I am well-versed in the ever-changing world of investments and cryptocurrencies. I will help you navigate the complex tax implications, ensuring you make informed decisions while optimizing your tax liabilities. (crypto tax work is not included in regular tax prep fee, it is extra)

2. Self-Employment Savvy:
– If you are self-employed or have a side work hustle/gig, you are in good hands. I specialize in handling the unique tax challenges faced by entrepreneurs. From filing your Schedule C small business tax return to maximizing deductions, I have you covered to assist you in keeping more of your hard-earned money.

3. Problem-Solving Guru:
– Got tax troubles? I’ve got solutions more magical than a Hogwarts spell. I leverage cutting-edge tax software to streamline the entire tax process. This not only saves you time but also helps eliminate errors, ensuring your returns are accurate and efficient.

4. Tax Code Wizard:
– I am up-to-date with the latest changes and you can trust me to decipher the complexity of YOUR return and ensure your taxes are done correctly. I speak tax code fluently…just ask my wife.

5. Audit-Ready:
– I am proud to say that none of my tax clients have ever been audited by the IRS. If you want to use the legal deductions allowed to you without sending any red flags to the IRS, then you are in the right place.

6. Ethical Solutions:
– I wear my ethics on my sleeve – and my sleeve is tax-themed. I stay strictly on the good side of all IRS regulations. I adhere to the highest ethical standards in all of my business practices, and expect my clients to do the same.

7. Personalized Care:
– Your financial+tax situation is unique, and so are my services. Your taxes, your way – no cookie-cutter solutions here. If you need individual returns, or a small business tax return, or some crypto tax work, OR all of the above, then you are in the right place!

8. Always Accessible:
– I am here when you need me most during the regular tax season (Jan – April), and once we get to post tax season I can still be reached via smoke signals or Morse code while resting in my hammock. Just kidding…I still work in the off season, it just may not be an instant response.

9. Communication Pro:
– Tax talk made easy – I speak your language. I understand that tax talk can be confusing. I pride myself on clear and effective communication, breaking down complex tax matters into easily understood language.

10. Strategic Tax Planning:
– Maximize savings with proactive tax strategies. If you want to proactively plan to minimize your future tax liabilities while maximizing your retirement savings, I am available to help you achieve your goals. (this is not included in tax prep fees)

11. Education & Empowerment:
– I am not just tax pro; I am a tax educator. I want to teach you about the tax implications of your financial decisions, and enable you to make better informed choices.

12. Easy Tax Portal:
– My secure & easy to navigate client portal is simple enough your kids could use it – but how about we NOT let that happen!

13. Rave Reviews:
– Join the ranks of my satisfied clients who have experienced my exceptional services and come back year after year.

14. Time Magician:
– Your time is SUPER valuable, and I respect that. I ensure your tax return is completed promptly (usually within 4-7 days) so you can enjoy the benefits of an efficient process here at Spartan Tax Relief. Your return is done before you can say “refund!!” And zero rabbits are injured during this magic act.

15. Multi-State Mastery:
– If your financial life spans multiple states, do not worry as I have you covered. I have seamlessly handled taxes in multiple states for many of my tax clients. And I can also prepare US tax returns for those US citizens who have flown the coop and are now living overseas.

16. Financial Planning Integration:
– I bring harmony to your financial symphony. Taxes and financial planning go hand in hand. I work in collaboration with YOUR financial advisor to ensure your tax strategies align with your financial goals.

17. Referral Program:
– If you like my tax services tell others and get an easy $20 credit applied to your next tax prep fee for each non-student referral who becomes a Spartan Tax Relief client. And $10 credit for any new full-time college student clients that you refer!

18. Secure & Confidential:
– Your financial secrets are safe with me. I employ state-of-the-art security measures to safeguard your tax information and ensure it remains confidential and protected. Think Fort Knox, but for your tax info.

19. Affordable Excellence:
– Quality services that won’t break the bank. I offer very competitive tax prep fees to provide you with exceptional value for your investment.

20. Using the “force” for good in the world:
– I am now highly focused on being a force for good in this world, and my partnership with B1G1 allows me to create huge positive impacts across the globe in so many areas! All while I help my tax clients!!

Am I the right tax pro for everyone? Certainly not – I will be the first one to tell you that. I am perfect for many types of clients but there are some areas that I do not focus on (where I can usually refer you to someone else who handles that type of tax work).

You are a good fit for Spartan Tax Relief, LLC if you answer “Yes” to most of the following statements:

+ I am a U.S. citizen or Resident Alien (such as an international student who has been here in the U.S. for OVER 5 years)

+ I want to stay on the good side of the IRS and not push into any “gray” areas of the tax laws

+ I have a business (single member LLC or DBA) and have a bookkeeper/software which prepares accurate records – (this is for individuals seeking to be added to my client list, other businesses such as Corp/S Corp/Partnerships need to contact me separately as I am not taking on many of those at this time- STR does NOT accept any clients with a Farm or Non-Profit, nor am I taking on any Non-Resident Aliens)

+ I own crypto assets and earn income from those, and I use a third party crypto tax platform (this is a requirement for my crypto clients)

+ I am tech savvy and able to easily use the Spartan Tax Relief secure online client portal for all tasks related to this tax work

+ I want my tax returns completed within 4-7 days of when I upload my tax docs to Spartan Tax Relief

+ I am willing to book a spot ahead of time in STR’s annual schedule once I become a client

+ I respond quickly when STR sends me a message or notification or email (within 24 hours)

+ I will use the portal for uploading ALL tax docs, approvals, e-signing & payments-(nothing gets sent via email or text!)

+ I respect & value your experience, skills, and tax services

+ I am looking for a solid tax preparer for each and every year to have things be STRESS-FREE for me!

+ I am also wanting to help make a positive impact around the world

I am glad to be supporting a local company that works hard to ensure its clients have a peace of mind with regard to filing their taxes. The customer service and availability to the client is excellent. Rich Smith is always extremely helpful and resourceful when it comes to answering questions and working for the client.
