Twenty years of accurate returns, maximized refunds, and year-round support for Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix area.
Our story
Desert Sun Tax & Planning opened in Scottsdale in 2005 with a simple premise: Arizona taxpayers deserve a preparer who actually looks for savings, not just one who enters numbers into software.
Over two decades we have filed more than 6,500 returns for W-2 earners, retirees, freelancers, landlords, and small business owners across the Valley. We are an IRS Authorized e-File Provider and our principal preparer holds an Enrolled Agent credential -- the highest credential the IRS awards to tax professionals.
What we stand for
Every document you share with us is protected by strict tax-professional confidentiality. We use encrypted storage and secure portals only.
Our team includes an IRS Enrolled Agent and credentialed tax preparers with ongoing continuing education -- not seasonal hires.
We review every return twice before filing and stand behind our work. If we make an error, we fix it and cover any resulting IRS penalties.
We treat tax preparation as the starting point, not the finish line. Every client gets a debrief on what drove their number and how to improve it.
