Income Tax Preparation Services: What You Need to Know Before Filing

Income tax preparation services do more than fill out forms. They help you avoid costly mistakes, claim the right credits, and stay compliant. For many people, taxes are more than a once-a-year burden. They’re a source of stress, confusion, and uncertainty.
At J Nanni Income Tax Services, we prepare tax returns with precision. Our clients include individuals, small business owners, and freelancers. Each has different needs. We meet those needs through accurate filings, year-round guidance, and full audit support.
Where Experience Meets Accuracy
Since opening our doors at 521 S Broadway in Santa Ana, we’ve worked with thousands of clients. Jorge Nanni and Adele Nanni lead the team. Both are registered and certified:

They don’t outsource. They sit down with you and explain what matters.
What You Should Expect from a Tax Preparer
When you search for income tax preparation services, look beyond price. Look for:
Credentials
Local presence
Up-to-date knowledge of tax laws
Help with IRS correspondence
Clear breakdowns of deductions
Many online filers miss credits because software can’t ask follow-up questions. A certified tax preparer can.
Why Your Tax Strategy Should Start Now
Waiting until April creates risk. When you prepare in advance, you reduce surprises. You can estimate how much to set aside, whether you qualify for key deductions, and if your records need cleaning.
Year-round service helps with:
Quarterly estimated payments
Self-employment income tracking
Audit preparation
Business write-offs
Your tax return tells a story. We make sure it’s the right one.

Serving Individuals and Small Businesses
We file both short and long forms. We support:
Employees with W-2s
Contractors and gig workers
Small business owners
Retirees
Students
We explain terms in plain English. We answer your calls. We stay open after tax season ends. That’s rare.

How to Know if You Need Help

Ask yourself:
Do you own a home?
Do you freelance or run a side business?
Did you pay for education or medical expenses?
Are you supporting dependents?
If yes to any of these, working with a certified tax preparer for small business owners and individuals can save you money and avoid mistakes.
Mistakes We Help You Avoid
Each year, the IRS reports thousands of errors in self-filed returns. Most come from:
Wrong filing status
Missed income
Incorrect bank info for direct deposit
Unclaimed education or child credits
We fix these before they cost you. We also represent clients in audits. We don’t disappear when the refund check clears.
What the Data Shows
According to the IRS, nearly 20% of electronically filed returns include errors. Of those, more than half reduce the taxpayer’s refund.
A study by the National Society of Accountants found that individuals who use professional tax preparers are 80% less likely to receive a letter from the IRS.
Tax preparation is not a luxury. It’s protection.
