Tax Preparation & Planning - Scottsdale & Greater Phoenix AZ
From individual 1040s and self-employed returns to small business taxes and IRS audit defense -- Desert Sun Tax has prepared thousands of Arizona returns with accuracy and care.
What we do
From straightforward W-2 returns to multi-entity small business filings, IRS audit defense, and proactive tax planning -- Desert Sun Tax handles it all under one roof, year-round.
Accurate, maximized 1040 preparation for W-2 earners, retirees, investors, and anyone with complex filing situations.
S-Corp, LLC, partnership, and sole-proprietor returns prepared on time -- with deductions your previous preparer may have missed.
Year-round planning to reduce your tax burden before the deadline arrives -- retirement contributions, entity structure, timing strategies.
Enrolled Agent-level representation if the IRS or AZ DOR contacts you. We handle the correspondence so you don't have to.
Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation for small business owners who want clean, audit-ready financials without hiring in-house staff.
Late filings, 1040-X amendments, and back-tax resolution to get you back into compliance without penalties spiraling.
The Desert Sun difference
We review every return for deductions other preparers miss, give you a flat fee before we start, and stay reachable year-round -- not just January through April.
How it works
Tell us your filing situation -- W-2, self-employed, business owner, late filer -- and we will tell you exactly what to expect and what it costs.
We provide a secure document checklist and upload portal. Drop in your forms and we take it from there -- no spreadsheets, no back-and-forth.
We present your completed return for review before e-filing. Questions are answered on the spot and you receive copies the same day we file.
Client reviews
"Desert Sun caught deductions my previous preparer missed for three straight years. I got a bigger refund and they filed everything in one meeting. Outstanding."
"When I received an IRS notice I was terrified. Desert Sun handled the entire audit -- I never had to speak to the IRS once. Completely resolved."
"As a freelancer my taxes are complicated. They explained everything clearly, found write-offs I never knew I had, and charged a flat fee. I will never go back to DIY."
