Post-Death Tax Assessment
Every engagement begins with a Post-Death Tax Assessment (PDTA). We obtain and review the estate’s IRS records, evaluate prior tax filing history, and determine which tax returns may be required. You will receive a written assessment outlining the estate’s tax status and recommended next steps.

Tax Preparation & Compliance
Once the estate’s filing requirements have been identified, we prepare any necessary federal tax returns and related filings. Draft returns are provided for review before submission, and we work closely with you throughout the process to ensure all available information is properly reported.

After all agreed-upon services have been completed, final documents are delivered securely through our client portal. Our goal is to provide clarity regarding the estate’s federal tax obligations and help ensure all required IRS filings have been addressed, allowing executors, trustees, attorneys, and families to move forward with greater confidence.
