Tax Preparation, Consultation and Representation

Tax Preparation

Lawrence Associates was established in 1987 by Irene Lawrence, EA, to provide tax services to individual and small business taxpayers. We prepare your returns quickly and accurately using in-house computers and software, providing personal and individualized service to our clients.

Our experience and commitment to continuing education insures that we use our computer resources intelligently and correctly. Our goal is that you pay the least amount of tax legally required.

We have experience preparing tax returns for tax payers in many different tax situations, including U.S. citizens living abroad, persons with small businesses, and persons with rental properties and other types of investments.

In addition we prepare California returns for our clients, including non-resident and part-year resident returns. We prepare other state returns as well, or we can refer you to a professional in another state.

We stand behind our returns. If our error should cause you to incur a penalty, we will pay the penalty for you.

Tax Planning & Consultation

We are available year round to answer your questions on the tax implications of various courses of action. We strongly recommend that you consult us before you take any major course of action that may have tax consequences.

Tax Representation

We are available to advise you and, if desired, to represent you in your dealings with the Internal Revenue Service or the Franchise Tax Board. We are authorized to act as your agent at all administrative levels of the IRS, including audits, appeals, and collections
