Anyone can advertise “taxes done here.” You want a preparer who is clear on fees, reachable after filing, and careful with military, multi-job, or small-business returns common around Killeen.
Questions worth asking
Who actually prepares the return? What is included in the fee? When do I pay? Will someone help if the IRS writes? How do you handle self-employed or military situations? Do you offer a free initial call?
At Moreno Financial Services, fees are clear before work starts. Individual returns start at $250. We offer a free strategy call and year-round support, not a seasonal pop-up.
Red flags
Guaranteed refunds as a sales pitch, pressure to skip documents, cash-only secrecy, or a firm that disappears on April 16. Accuracy and communication beat a flashy refund promise.
