Choosing a Tax Return Preparer

Most tax return preparers are professional, honest and provide excellent service to their clients. But if you pay someone to prepare your tax return, choose that preparer wisely, advises the IRS. Taxpayers are legally responsible for what’s on their returns—even if prepared by someone else.

Here are a few points to keep in mind when someone else prepares your tax return:

- A paid preparer is required by law to sign the return, fill in the preparer areas on the form and give you a copy of the return. WE SIGNED EVERY AND EACH TAX RETURN THAT WE PREPARE. NOT LIKE OTHER OFFICES BECAUSE SIMPLY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE LICENSE TO DO IT.

- Before signing, review the complete return to ensure the tax information and your name, address and social security numbers(s) are correct and that you understand the entries and are comfortable with the accuracy of the return.

-A Third Party Designee Check Box on Form 1040 allows you to designate a representative to speak to the IRS concerning how your return was prepared or about payment and refund issues and mathematical errors.

If you choose to use a paid tax preparer, it is important that you find a qualified tax professional. Unqualified tax preparers may overlook legitimate deductions or credits which could result in you paying more tax than you should. They may also make costly mistakes that could end with you owing additional tax, along with penalties and interest.

Following are some suggestions to consider when hiring a tax professional:

- Avoid preparers who claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers, or who guarantee results or base fees on a percentage of the amount of the refund. WE CAN GET YOU THE MAXIMUM REFUND LEGALLY, WE HAVE MORE THAN 10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
- Choose a preparer you will be able to contact after the return is filed and one that will be responsive to your needs. Ask questions and get references from clients who have used the tax professional before. Were they satisfied with the service received? WE ARE OPEN ALL YEAR AROUND
- Check to see if the preparer has any questionable history with the Better Business Bureau, the state’s board of accountancy for CPAs, the California Tax Education Council. (CTEC)

Unfortunately, unscrupulous tax return preparers do exist and can cause considerable financial and legal problems for their clients. Examples of improper actions by unscrupulous preparers include the preparation and filing of false income tax returns that claim inflated personal or business expenses, false deductions, unallowable credits or excessive exemptions.

You can check IRS.gov for information regarding tax schemes and scams — including abusive tax shelters. Tax evasion is both risky and a crime punishable by up to five years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. Remember — no matter who prepares your tax return, you are legally responsible for the information on it.Report suspected tax fraud and abusive return preparers to the nearest IRS office, either by telephone at toll-free 1-800-829-0433 or in writing to the local IRS office.

Our experienced, licensed immigration consultant will give your immigration case the personal attention it deserves.

For most cases, we require a deposit and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) fees to begin your case, with the balance due upon approval of your visa by the USCIS.

If you would like our assistance in applying for and obtaining a visa, please call us.

About Our Fees: We are often asked why our fees are so low compared to other Immigration Firms. Some assume that because our fees are low, that the level of service must be low as well. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our mission is to provide an efficient, effective and affordable option to our clients and customers. We specialize in a few areas of immigration that we are very knowledgeable and experienced in. We work very hard to leverage technology and reduce operating costs by using our website, email, fax, telephone and overnight delivery to provide a superior service at rates that other Immigration Firms and Immigration Attorneys are unable and unwilling to match.

WEDDING CEREMONIES

Notary Public & Issuer of Los Angeles County Marriage Licenses:
 
Welcome from Oliver Zamora, Wedding Minister.

We can marry you right now! 

HABLAMOS ESPAÑOL

We are located in Pomona, California. We have performed hundreds of weddings all over this area. We will do all in our power to make your wedding ceremony memorable and meaningful. As a Notary Public, we can also issue your marriage license if you are getting married in Los Angeles County - at your location or our office. Immediate Ceremonies.

Minister Available in English or Spanish.

Yes, there is a place you can call today and be married today (as long as you have proper identification). Do not travel to Las Vegas -- you can get it all done here in our Office.

We welcome out of state couples - as well as out of country couples who are here on vacation and desire to get married. We are California Notaries authorized to issue California Marriage Licenses right here in the Chapel - there is no need for you to go to a County office to obtain a license since the wait there can be long. The State of California has No blood test requirement. There is also NO waiting period.

We can issue the marriage license immediately and marry you in the chapel- the whole process takes about one hour. If you prefer, we can also perform a civil ceremony. Bring your own marriage license -- or we will issue you one here.

We marry couples from all over the country, the state and the world in our office. We do many "instant" weddings. No need to travel to the courthouse -- we can issue the license (California allows certain Notaries Public to issue marriage licenses for them) and do a civil ceremony right here -- right now! And remember we issue licenses for weddings we are NOT performing. They are good for 90 days throughout L.A. County, CA. Call for an appointment and see requirements.

MARRIAGE LICENSE REQUIREMENTS- California

The following are the requirements to be issued a Los Angeles County Confidential Marriage License by Oliver Zamora, Minister:

1. You must be at least 18 years of age.
2. You must possess a valid driver's license or State issued ID card, or Passport, or Military ID -- with picture and signature. A birth certificate alone is not valid identification. These ID’s must be valid, and NOT expired.
3. You must get married within the next 90 days. If you don't get married in that time period, the license will expire and you must purchase another license.
4. There is NO blood test or waiting period.

5.Ceremony must be performed in Los Angeles County. California is a "ceremonial state” which means that just getting the licenses does not mean you are married. You must have a third person to perform the ceremony -- ordained clergyperson, judge, retired judge or deputy commissioner of marriage. I AM YOUR MINISTER.

6. Two persons of the same sex cannot be issued a license in Los Angeles County.
7. If either of you has been divorced in the last two (2) years, you must bring along a copy of your divorce papers.
8. If either of you has been widowed in the last (2) years, bring along a copy of the death certificate.
9. Minors 17 years old and younger must contact the County Recorder's office for the rules of issuance of a license to a minor. We cannot issue a license.
10. If you are getting married in a county other than Los Angeles, my license is not valid. Contact the county recorder's office nearest you and apply for the license that is good throughout the state (the public license).

What is a Confidential Marriage License?

In California, there are two types of licenses - the regular license, which requires a witness, and the Confidential, which requires no witnesses. Originally the Confidential was designed (in 1970) so that people living together didn't have to take the dreaded blood test. Now California requires no blood test, but both kinds are still being issued. The Confidential is the only license they allow notaries to issue, and the only kind you can obtain off site of a County Office. At a County Office you can purchase one or the other. But, they are only open weekdays, from 8:30 to 4:30 - no holidays. We are open 7 days a week by appointment. So if you get your license from us, it will be the Confidential one that requires no witnesses, and is recorded in private, so that only the bride and groom can get a copy. Some couples dislike it because they can't send mom to get a copy for them at the Recorder's office, others don't like that fact that it states you "have been living together as husband and wife" - so We put this information here for you to choose which type of license suits you. Remember you are just as married with either license.

Call to schedule an appointment right now.
