tax preparation

Annual form completion

Tax preparation is the process of compiling financial information and completing the forms required to file income tax returns with government authorities.

For individuals, this typically involves gathering W-2s, 1099s, and records of deductions; for businesses, the process is considerably more complex.

Many people handle their own tax preparation using software, while others hire professional preparers or accountants.

I spent the whole weekend on tax preparation and still had to file for an extension.
