Individual Tax Return Preparation
Preparing an individual income tax return can become complicated quickly—especially when your financial situation involves more than a W-2.
Tax Help Hawaii can assist with returns involving situations such as:
- W-2 employment income
- Self-employment and 1099 income
- Investment income
- Retirement income
- Rental properties
- Itemized deductions
- Tax credits
- Multiple income sources
- Prior-year returns
- Amended returns
- Federal and Hawaii tax filing requirements
Our goal is to prepare your return accurately while making sure relevant information is properly reported.
Business Tax Preparation
Business owners have different filing requirements depending upon how the business is structured.
Tax Help Hawaii provides professional tax preparation assistance for small businesses and self-employed taxpayers, including appropriate federal and state filings.
Depending on the business structure, this can include:
Sole Proprietors — Schedule C
Partnerships — Form 1065
S Corporations — Form 1120-S
C Corporations — Form 1120
Business tax preparation may also involve estimated taxes, depreciation, business expenses and other tax considerations.

Tax Preparation From an IRS Enrolled Agent
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a tax professional licensed by the IRS.
Enrolled Agents earn their status through an IRS examination process or qualifying prior IRS experience and must meet continuing-education and renewal requirements. They also have unlimited representation rights before the IRS.
Tax Help Hawaii was founded by IRS Enrolled Agent Andrew Kai Hatchie Jr.
That tax-resolution background can be especially valuable when tax preparation involves previous filing problems, IRS notices or unpaid tax liabilities.
Why Use a Professional Tax Preparer?
Tax software can work well for some straightforward returns.
But professional tax preparation may be especially useful when you have:
- Multiple sources of income
- Self-employment or business income
- Rental property
- Investment activity
- Prior-year tax problems
- Unfiled returns
- An IRS notice
- A major life or financial change
A professional preparer can also help identify information that may be missing before the return is filed.
The IRS requires paid federal tax return preparers who prepare all or substantially all of a return for compensation to have a valid Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN).
We're Here After Tax Season, Too
The IRS itself recommends considering whether the preparer you choose will still be available months or years after filing if questions arise.
Tax Help Hawaii provides tax assistance throughout the year—not simply during filing season.
That means you have somewhere to turn when you:
- Receive an IRS notice
- Discover a mistake on a previously filed return
- Need to file an amended return
- Find an old return that was never filed
- Start a business
- Become self-employed
- Need help preparing a prior-year return
- Need tax preparation connected with an IRS tax-resolution matter
Can't Pay the Tax You Owe?
You should not assume that you shouldn’t file simply because you can’t afford to pay the entire balance.
Filing the required return and dealing with the resulting tax balance are separate issues.
Depending upon your circumstances, potential IRS resolution options can include:
The appropriate option depends on your individual financial and tax circumstances.
Frequently Asked Questions
Behind on Your Tax Returns?
Don’t let embarrassment or worry about past-due returns keep you from addressing the problem.
If you haven’t filed one or more required tax returns, Tax Help Hawaii can help determine what needs to be filed and assist with getting your filing history back on track.
Depending on the situation, we may also be able to obtain IRS tax information that can assist in reconstructing prior-year returns when records are missing.

Filing an Extension
If you need additional time to prepare your federal individual income tax return, an extension may provide additional time to file.
However, an extension to file generally does not provide additional time to pay tax that’s due.
This distinction should be made clear on the website so clients don’t mistakenly assume an extension postpones both requirements.
Filing a Late Tax Return
If you missed a filing deadline, addressing the return sooner rather than later is generally preferable.
Depending upon the circumstances, late filing and late payment can result in penalties and interest.
If you’re owed a refund, there is also generally a limited period for claiming it, so leaving old returns unfiled indefinitely can potentially cause you to lose a refund you otherwise could have received.
Tax Preparation and Tax Resolution Under One Roof
This is an important differentiator for Tax Help Hawaii.
Sometimes preparing the tax return is only the first step.
A taxpayer may discover after filing that they owe money they can’t afford to pay. Another taxpayer may already be facing IRS collection activity because several years of returns haven’t been filed.
Tax Help Hawaii can help address both sides of the problem:
Preparing required tax returns and evaluating potential tax-resolution options when an IRS balance remains.
