Tax Preparation Services in Missouri
Missouri’s most comprehensive tax preparation for healthcare workers, contractors, educators, logistics employees, remote tech workers, investors, retirees, and small-business owners — serving Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, and Columbia.
WHY MISSOURI RESIDENTS NEED SPECIALIZED TAX PREPARATION
Missouri looks “simple” from the outside—but MISSOURIANS don’t have simple tax lives.
The average household deals with multiple income streams, such as:
✔ Healthcare W-2 with differential, overtime, certifications
✔ Contractor / trades 1099 income
✔ Multi-W2 families with side gigs
✔ STR/LTR rentals (HUGE in KC + STL + college towns)
✔ Remote-worker W-2 from out-of-state companies
✔ Union wages with dues, tool write-offs, shift premiums
✔ Educator + university staff income
✔ Capital gains on rising STL/KC real estate
✔ K-1 partnership distributions
✔ Gig work (rideshare, events, service industry)
✔ Pension + SSA stacking
✔ IRS notices from misclassification
Missouri is a multi-income, multi-industry, multi-role filing environment.
Basic tax software cannot handle Missouri taxpayers correctly.
