Personal tax preparation with a CPA who works directly with you.
Individual tax preparation is a professional CPA service covering federal and New Jersey state income tax returns. Monaco CPA prepares W-2, freelance, self-employed, and multi-state returns starting at $350. Every return includes deduction analysis, tax credit identification, e-filing, and a year-end planning review with Greg Monaco, CPA directly.
Tax season doesn't have to be stressful. At Monaco CPA, every individual tax return receives the attention to detail your finances deserve.
Whether you're a W-2 employee, freelancer, self-employed, or managing income from multiple sources, tax returns are prepared with attention to detail and a focus on accuracy. Every return is reviewed for deductions and credits you may be missing.
Every return includes a year-end review to discuss strategies for the year ahead - because good tax preparation starts well before April.
**Cryptocurrency tax returns:** Crypto activity requires specialized treatment. Every trade, swap, DeFi yield, staking reward, and NFT transaction is a separate taxable event. Monaco CPA handles crypto returns as part of full-service individual tax preparation. Complex crypto portfolios (Solana DeFi, multi-chain activity, high-volume trading) are handled through [MonacoCryptoTax.com](/services/crypto-tax).
**IRS audit support:** If you receive an IRS notice or correspondence alongside your return preparation, Monaco CPA can review it and coordinate a response. Audit representation for examination cases is available as a standalone service through [IRS Audit Representation](/services/irs-audit-representation).
As a CPA authorized to practice before the IRS under Treasury Circular 230, Greg Monaco can represent you during correspondence audits, office exams, and field examinations. He responds to IRS notices and CP2000 letters, and communicates with the IRS and NJ Division of Taxation on your behalf. IRS notice support is included with all tax preparation engagements.
Filing a straightforward W-2 return? Use the checklist to make sure you have all your W-2s, 1099-INTs, mortgage statements, and other documents ready before your appointment.
If you receive 1099-NEC income, work as an independent contractor, or run a sole proprietorship, Monaco CPA prepares your Schedule C, calculates self-employment tax, identifies every eligible deduction, home office, vehicle, equipment, professional fees, and sets up quarterly estimated tax payments to help you avoid underpayment penalties.
