Overview
How Tax Preparation & Planning helps you
Most preparers stop at last year's numbers. As an Enrolled Agent and Certified Tax Coach, Jill Schneider builds a forward-looking plan so you pay the legal minimum — this year and every year after.
Individual returns
Federal and Michigan state returns prepared, reviewed, and e-filed for accuracy.
Business returns
Schedule C, partnership, S-corp, and corporate filings handled end to end.
Proactive planning
Year-round strategy sessions so decisions are made before the deadline, not after.
Deduction discovery
A deep review of prior returns to recover deductions others missed.
Professional tax preparation in Grandville, MI
Tax preparation should be more than dropping off a folder and hoping for the best. At Grandville Tax & Accounting, every individual and small-business return is prepared and reviewed by an Enrolled Agent licensed to practice before the IRS. That means your federal and Michigan returns are handled by someone who knows current tax law — not seasonal software operators.
We prepare returns for W-2 employees, retirees, self-employed contractors, rental property owners, and small businesses across Grand Rapids, Grandville, Jenison, Wyoming, and Hudsonville. Whether your situation is simple or complex, you get accuracy, e-filing, and clear answers to your questions.
Proactive tax planning that actually lowers your bill
Filing a return records what already happened. Tax planning changes what happens next. As a Certified Tax Coach, Jill looks ahead — at retirement contributions, entity structure, estimated payments, timing of income and expenses, and credits you may be missing — to legally reduce what you owe.
The biggest savings almost always come from decisions made before December 31, not in April. That's why we work with planning clients year-round instead of once a season.
A prior-return review often finds hidden refunds
New clients are frequently surprised by what a second look uncovers. We review up to three years of prior returns for missed deductions and credits — and when we find them, amended returns can put that money back in your pocket.
FAQ
Tax Preparation & Planning — common questions
Do you handle both personal and business taxes?+
Yes. Jill prepares individual, self-employed, and business returns — including Schedule C, partnership, S-corp, and corporate filings — and coordinates them so nothing falls through the cracks.
Can you review my previous returns?+
Absolutely. A prior-return review often uncovers missed deductions and credits that can be amended for a refund, typically for the past three tax years.
When should tax planning start?+
The best time is well before year-end. Most tax-saving moves must be made before December 31, so planning throughout the year is where the real savings happen.
What is an Enrolled Agent?+
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally licensed tax practitioner authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. It's the highest credential the IRS awards, which means your return and any IRS matters are in expert hands.
Do you file taxes for other states?+
Yes. We're based in Grandville, MI, but we e-file federal and multi-state returns, so we can help even if you moved, work across state lines, or earn income in more than one state.
