The questions people actually call and ask.

Bring photo ID, Social Security numbers for everyone on the return, all income documents such as W-2s and 1099s, records of deductible expenses, last year's return if you have it, and any IRS or state letters you've received. If you own a business, bring your income and expense records for the year.

Yes. AshRoq Financial's Tyler office prepares personal returns as well as returns for sole proprietors, LLCs and small businesses across East Texas. If you have both, we handle them together so the numbers stay consistent.

Start by determining which returns are missing and gathering the income records for each year. The IRS generally recommends filing all required past-due returns, even if you cannot pay the full balance immediately. Our Tyler team can help you organize your information and prepare those returns.

Yes. If a letter arrives or a question comes up later in the year, you can call the same Tyler office that prepared the return.

There isn't a minimum. Plenty of Tyler businesses hand off payroll as soon as they hire their first employee, simply to make sure it's set up correctly from the start.

Yes, and it's usually the better arrangement. When the same office handles both, payroll activity is already reflected in your books and there's no reconciliation gap at year end.

Yes. AshRoq Financial helps new and growing business owners navigate the formation process — from choosing an appropriate business structure and registering the business to applying for an EIN and understanding ongoing financial responsibilities.

Many businesses do, particularly those with employees or those operating as a separate entity. The EIN is a federal identification number for the business. We can walk through whether your situation calls for one and help you apply.

No. Plenty of Tyler business owners formalize after they've already been operating. The first step is reviewing how you're currently running things and what structure fits going forward.

AshRoq Financial in Tyler helps individuals and businesses review IRS letters and understand what the IRS is requesting. Bring the entire letter, any related tax returns and supporting documents to your consultation. Because many notices include response deadlines, it is important not to ignore the letter or wait until the deadline is close.

Bring every page of the notice, the tax return it relates to, and any supporting documents such as W-2s, 1099s or receipts connected to the item in question.

Start by determining which returns are missing and gathering the income records and tax documents for each year. The IRS generally recommends filing all required past-due returns, even if you cannot pay the full balance immediately. AshRoq Financial's Tyler team can help you organize your information, prepare your unfiled returns and understand the next steps based on your situation.

Filing and paying are two separate things. The general guidance is to file the required returns even when the full balance can't be paid immediately, because that's the step that gets the situation moving. We can help you understand your options based on your circumstances.

That's normal for older years. Part of the work is identifying which income documents are missing and how to obtain replacement records so each return can be prepared accurately.

Yes. If you discover missing income, an overlooked deduction, an incorrect filing status or another error on a previously filed return, the Tyler team can review the return and determine whether an amendment may be appropriate. Not every change requires an amended return, so the first step is reviewing the original filing and the new information.

No. Some issues the IRS corrects on its own, and some changes don't affect the outcome. That's exactly why the first step is a review of the original return rather than immediately filing an amendment.

That's a common reason people come in. We review what was filed regardless of who prepared it and tell you what we find.
