McCool's Tax Service

Hello,

I'm glad you stopped by to visit my web site. My name is George McCool and I've been preparing taxes for my family and friends for many years.

I've decided to help other taxpayers who would rather do other activities instead of sitting down for hours working on completing their 2006 tax return.

I just can't imagine spending the kind of money that people do each year by going to the big tax preparation firms. In most cases, unless it's a very complicated return, the tax payer can save themselves money by going to a local tax preparer like McCool's Tax Service. My fees will always be lower than the big tax preparation firms.

My Tax Practice specializes in the Individual (Federal, State and Local) return.

Please read my Fees page for more detailed information.

Why do the big tax preparation firms charge such high fees and lack the personal service touch? Each year many tax payers go to these big tax preparation firms and pay high fees to get their taxes prepared. Why spend most or all of your refund on fees? Also, the setting is not very private, so others may overhear your conversation.

Our fees are reasonable and our service is professional. We will keep all information confidential.  

I will come to your home or office, I'll ask a few questions, look over the documentation that you have with you. I do not complete your return on the initial visit. Why? This is to make sure that I did not miss a deduction or credit that you are entitled to get. However, you will know if you're getting a refund or owe more taxes on the intial visit. A standard deduction return should be ready in a few days. When it's completed, I'll call you to set up an appointment. We'll go over the return to your satisfaction. After you are satisfied with the return, then you'll need to decide how quick you want to get your refund. Or if you owe, how quick you want to pay it. After all of these actions have been completed, then I would expect payment for my services. I do not take credit cards. Cash or check (with proper ID) are acceptable. Or, if you wish, you can take advantage of the many bank products available from me. Please ask me for more information when we have our interview.

Who am I?

Since I'm not a C.P.A. or Attorney, the I.R.S. considers me an UNENROLLED Return Preparer.

What is an Unenrolled Return Preparer?

An Unenrolled Return Preparer is a person that can prepare Tax returns and represent a taxpayer only with regard to a tax liability arising from a tax return prepared by the individual. The tax preparer is expected to recognize questions, issues and factual situations related to the tax return at issue and assist in the resolution of the tax matter.  

Why come to me to prepare your taxes? 

I will always have reasonable fees and personal service. You will feel very comfortable with me preparing your tax return. Although I'm not a C.P.A. or Attorney, I keep current with the many tax changes that impact the non-business individual tax return.

I can E-file your taxes directly from my office. And if you include the information needed for direct deposit, you'll get your refund very FAST!

I keep current on all the tax changes and I'm taking a refresher Tax course to get current with the 2005 Tax Updates.

My practice specializes in Individual Tax Returns. However, I can do some small business Tax returns. I've been doing my own business Tax returns since 1989. My business was Sports Officiating (High School Baseball and Football, PIAA certified).
