Tax Preparation in Fort Worth, TX
Fort Worth added more than 32,000 new residents in a single year, making it the fastest-growing city in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. That growth brings a wide mix of tax situations: W-2 employees at Lockheed Martin and American Airlines, healthcare professionals at Cook Children’s and JPS Health Network, self-employed contractors serving the booming construction market, and small business owners opening shops around Sundance Square and the Near Southside. Each of those situations calls for a different approach to tax preparation, and getting it right means real money back in your pocket.

Tax Preparation Questions from Fort Worth Clients
How much does tax preparation cost in Fort Worth?
At AG Freideman, a basic individual return (Form 1040 with no itemized deductions) runs $450 to $600. Itemized returns with Schedule A and additional credits cost $550 to $650. Sole proprietor returns with Schedule C range from $750 to $1,200, and S-Corp or partnership returns run $1,000 to $2,000 depending on complexity. We publish our pricing upfront so there are no surprises.
When should I hire a CPA instead of using tax software?
If you own a business, have rental property, received equity compensation from a Fort Worth employer like Lockheed Martin or American Airlines, or earned self-employment income, a licensed CPA will almost always find deductions that software misses. The cost of professional preparation typically pays for itself through a more accurate return and lower tax liability. Software works fine for a simple single W-2 return, but most Fort Worth households with incomes near $88,000 have situations that benefit from professional judgment.
Do Fort Worth residents pay state income tax?
No. Texas has no state income tax, so Fort Worth residents only file a federal return. However, Texas businesses must file a franchise tax return (also called the margin tax) with the Texas Comptroller each year by May 15. If your Fort Worth business earns above the no-tax-due threshold, you may owe franchise tax even though you owe no state income tax personally.
What documents do I need for my tax appointment?
Bring all W-2s and 1099s, your prior year tax return, mortgage interest statements (Form 1098), property tax records from Tarrant County, records of any estimated tax payments, and documentation for business income and expenses if you are self-employed. We send every Fort Worth client a personalized checklist before your appointment so nothing gets missed.
Can I work with AG Freideman without driving to Dallas?
Absolutely. Most of our Fort Worth clients work with us entirely through virtual appointments. You upload documents securely, we meet by video or phone, and your completed return is ready for your electronic signature. The process is the same quality you would get sitting across the desk from Al, just without the commute.
What if I receive an IRS notice after filing?
We offer IRS representation at $200 per hour. If you get an audit notice, a letter about back taxes, or a penalty assessment, Al handles the response directly with the IRS on your behalf. You do not have to figure it out alone.
