a better way to do your taxes
When it comes to doing taxes, more and more people are trying to save money by doing their own taxes. But there's one problem with trying to save money this way:
- Most self-prepared tax returns contain errors - even when using tax software!
But Class 5 offers an alternative for people who want to save money over traditional tax preparation. We'll help you prepare your own tax return at a cost significantly lower than what you'd normally pay somebody to do your entire return. Class 5 Tax Service has developed the Professionally Guided Tax Preparation model. If that seems like a mouthful, just call it "going Class 5." With this approach, you pay us for the services that add real value (reviewing your work for errors, handling areas you're not comfortable with) but handle everything else yourself. As a result, you keep more money in your pocket...and you don't have to worry about making mistakes that can cost thousands of dollars.
In addition to our unique tax preparation model, Class 5 is a full-service personal income tax preparation company that can help you with all your tax needs. Class 5 is operated by an Enrolled Agent, and only experienced preparers with at least an Enrolled Agent or CPA designation will handle your tax return.
Current Specials!
Right now Class 5 is offering two great specials. If you do your own taxes, we'll review up to three prior year tax returns and give you the peace of mind they don't contain costly errors for absolutely free. If you've been using a professional and think you're paying too much, we'll convert your data to the format used by popular tax software making it much easier to switch.
Want to increase your Social Security benefit?
If you started collecting Social Security before age 70, and now wish you'd held out for a higher benefit, Social Security allows a "do over." You can withdraw your previous application using Form 521, and then apply to start receiving benefits at the higher rate you're now eligible for. We'll help with the paperwork and make sure you claim all the tax credits that are available with this decision.
Services
We will prepare your complete tax return at a very reasonable cost. Or you can save 50-80% off preparation fees by doing your own return, but allowing us to review your work to prevent errors. We can assist you with IRS correspondence (even if we didn't prepare your return), and we can help with all your tax planning needs.

What our clients say...
"You are very clear, knowledgeable and competent... AND very kind and patient when I obviously have little or absolutely no clue sometimes with the simplest of things involving numbers and finances. Thank you..."
-Sonja
"That advice would have been an 8K dollar swing from a refund to a tax debt. After reading your detailed rationale I felt even more confident that the service that I was getting was the service that I needed."
-Anthony
"I am left with that feeling of security that puts my fears of government reprisal at ease along with the satisfaction of knowing the money I have spent was well worth the value of services received."
-Michael
