We find every credit, deduction, and loophole the IRS allows — so you keep more of what you've earned. No gimmicks, no panic, just meticulous preparation that works in your favor.
Whether you're an individual, a small business owner, or an estate executor, we handle every filing type with the same thoroughness and care.
From W-2 employees to self-employed professionals, we prepare accurate returns that maximize your refund and minimize your liability. We handle everything from simple filings to complex situations involving multiple income sources.
LLCs, S-Corps, partnerships, and sole proprietorships — we navigate the complexities of business taxation so you can focus on growing your company. We also offer quarterly estimated tax planning and bookkeeping coordination.
An audit notice doesn't have to be stressful. We've represented clients before the IRS and can handle correspondence, represent you at hearings, and negotiate payment plans when needed. You're never alone in this process.
Probate, estate tax returns, and trust accounting can be confusing. We guide executors and trustees through every requirement with clarity and precision, ensuring compliance while protecting your family's interests.
Need cash flow before your refund arrives? We help you explore legitimate options including refund anticipation loans and payment planning strategies that keep your finances stable year-round.
Tax season is just one part of the year. We offer ongoing consulting to help you plan for the future — from retirement contributions to business structuring — so you're always prepared and always in control.
Located in the heart of Rice Lake, Smith Tax Service was founded on a simple belief: everyone deserves a tax professional who treats their return with the same care as their own. We're not a franchise, not a call center, and not someone who rushes through your file.
We take the time to understand your financial picture — your income, your deductions, your goals — and we build a strategy that works for your specific situation. That attention to detail is why our clients come back year after year, and why word-of-mouth referrals make up the majority of our business.
Call us or send an email to set up a time that works for you. Walk-ins are welcome during peak season, but an appointment ensures we give you our full, undivided attention.
We'll send you a checklist of what to bring. Generally, that means W-2s, 1099s, prior-year returns, and any documents related to deductions or credits you want claimed. Everything else we figure out together.
We prepare your return, review it with you line by line, and file it promptly. You'll receive a copy for your records and a clear explanation of your refund or balance due. That's it — no confusion, no anxiety.
I'd been doing my own taxes for years and always felt like I was missing something. Smith Tax Service found deductions I had no idea existed — my refund was nearly double what I expected. I'm not touching a calculator on my own again.
Running a small business means taxes are a constant worry. Smith Tax Service has been handling my filings for three years now, and they've never missed a deadline. They also helped me set up quarterly estimates so I'm never caught off guard.
After my husband passed, I was overwhelmed by the tax implications of the estate. They walked me through every step patiently and made a terrifying process feel manageable. I can't recommend them enough to anyone going through something similar.
Every year you file without professional help is money you may be leaving on the table. Let's make sure you're getting everything you're owed — and nothing more than you owe.
Whether it's tax season or you have a question that came up mid-year, we're just a call or email away. No appointment necessary for a quick consultation.
