The East Valley does not need another strip-center tax office. It needs someone who will sit at the table with the shoebox, file the return, and not invent a $400 invoice. That is Taxxpro.
Jerry Rybnikar prepared taxes in Apache Junction for 16 years at a national tax franchise. Today he drives to homes across the East Valley — Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Superstition Mountain, East Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert — including the 55+ communities and RV resorts that fill up every winter. The difference is the door he walks through is yours.
Retirees, Social Security, and pensions
A large share of the East Valley is 65 and older. The $75 1040 for Social Security and pensions is built for that. Arizona does not tax Social Security. Federal rules still matter. We file both sides and tell you what to keep for next year.
Snowbirds and part-year residents
If you split the year between Arizona and somewhere colder, residency is the question that costs people money. We walk through the 183-day rule, which state return you actually need, and how to avoid filing as a full-year resident in two places.
Homeowners who itemize
Mortgage interest, property tax, medical bills, and charitable giving go on Schedule A. The $75 itemized 1040 covers it, one state included. If the standard deduction is the better answer, we will say so and file the $60 return instead.
Where in the East Valley
Apache Junction (85119 and 85120), Gold Canyon, Superstition Mountain, East Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert, plus the unincorporated pockets in between. Winter visitors in seasonal parks are welcome. If you are not sure whether your address counts, ask. The service area page has the town-by-town list.
What I do not pretend to be
I am not a CPA firm and I do not sell wealth-management packages. I prepare individual returns, review last year, notarize if you need it, and quote partnerships and S Corps when they show up. For that work, see prices.
East Valley tax questions, answered
Do you prepare taxes for East Valley retirees?
Yes. A 1040 with Social Security and pensions is $75 including one state. Jerry comes to your home anywhere in the East Valley.
Do you help snowbirds and part-year Arizona residents?
Yes. We sort residency, the 183-day rule, and which state return you need so you are not filing twice by accident.
Do you have an office I have to drive to?
No. Mobile only. You pick the kitchen, the patio, or the shop. Travel anywhere in the East Valley is included.
Is this cheaper than a franchise tax office?
Usually. Published 1040 prices start at $60. Franchise in-person work often lands between $250 and $500. Jerry prepared those same kinds of returns at a national tax office in Apache Junction for 16 years.
Can you do a prior-year return?
Yes. Bring what you have. We will say what is missing before we start.
