Frequently asked in Jacksonville

Do I need a tax preparer near me in Jacksonville, or can I work with you remotely?

You can work with us entirely remotely, and most of our clients do. THE TAX CUTTERY is 100% virtual by design — secure document sharing, no driving, no waiting room. The First Coast Desk has a real (904) number, backed by a national virtual practice.

I drive a truck out of the port and get a 1099. Can you handle that?

We do. Port and logistics contractors often have a 1099 plus per-diem plus multi-state mileage, and the three interact in ways that trip up generic software. We sort the self-employment income, the expenses, and the multi-state filings so the return is right and the IRS letters don't follow. It's everyday work for the First Coast Desk.

I got a CP14 notice saying I owe. What does that actually mean?

A CP14 is the IRS telling you there's a balance due on a prior year and interest has started. It is a balance-due notice, not an audit. The figure on it is often a starting point — penalties can be reduced and payment options exist. We read the notice, confirm what's actually owed, and respond in writing. Don't ignore it; don't panic either.

I haven't filed in a few years. Can you actually fix that?

Yes. We reconstruct your records from whatever you have — W-2s, bank statements, prior-year transcripts from the IRS — file the missing years, and get you a current account transcript so you know where you stand. Most people in this situation are surprised by how straightforward the process is once someone who knows the system takes over.
