Welcome to Tax Artists
We were founded on a simple idea: a tax return should be the start of a conversation, not the end of one.
Careful with this year. Thinking about the next ten.
Most firms hand back a finished return and wish you luck. We would rather show you what drove the number — which decisions helped, which ones cost you, and what you can do differently before next December.
Some clients want preparation and nothing more. That is genuinely fine, and we will be careful, accurate, and fair on price. Others want to learn the levers and plan their own outcomes. That is where we shine brightest.
Three kinds of clients walk through our door.
Individuals & families
1040 personal returns, retirement income questions, and the years when something big changes — a house, a windfall, a retirement date.
Professionals & businesses
Corporate S and C, partnerships, and multi-state filers who need someone paying attention to entity choice and owner pay.
Trusts & estates
Trust returns and the long view of passing assets on without handing your heirs a court process.
Safety of your personal information is paramount.
Tax Artists is a member of United Cloud Partners Services. We submit all state and federal tax work documents over a private, secure, IRS Circular 230 compliant network, and take part in the return preparation process through the CPATAXBANK service.
Please never fax or email completed tax forms — those lines are not safe. Mail them, drop them at the office, or ask us for a secure client portal and upload from home.
Find us in Pasadena.
We are at 140 S Lake Ave, Suite 300, Pasadena, CA 91101, open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm. We also run workshops throughout your state — call for the next set of dates.
