Prior-Year and Amended Returns
McNeel CPA prepares returns for years that were never filed and amended returns for years that were filed incorrectly. We review what is on file, identify the years involved, and explain what preparing them would require.
- Filers with one or more years that were never filed
- Filers who received documents after a return was already filed
- Taxpayers who discovered an error on a filed return
- Business owners with unfiled entity returns
- Filers who need past returns brought current for a lender or an application
- Review of the years involved and what appears to be on file
- Preparation of unfiled returns for the years the firm can assist with
- Preparation of amended returns where an amendment is appropriate
- Explanation of the differences an amendment would report
- Discussion of records needed for each open year
- A copy of each prepared return for your records
