A Vietnamese tax preparer San Jose
families come back to year after year

“I’ve been going to Quinnie to do my taxes for a few years now, after a friend of mine gave me her number as a recommendation. She’s very thorough and always completes my income taxes in a timely manner with the best returns for a low price. I’m glad I found her as she is very friendly and professional as well. Thank you, Quinnie, for all of your help over the years!”

How much does tax preparation cost in San Jose?

Each additional W-2 is $10, and self-employed income (Schedule C) adds $175. Business returns start at $395 and amended returns start at $125. You get a written total before we start. See every fee on our tax preparation price list.
Are walk-ins welcome during tax season?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome Monday to Friday, 9 AM–6 PM. During the last two weeks before the April deadline, we recommend booking ahead to guarantee your slot. You can also drop off your documents and we call you when your return is ready. Call (408) 766-3528 or schedule online.
Can you file my federal AND California state return together?
Yes. Every appointment includes both federal Form 1040 and California Form 540 prepared and e-filed together. We also handle multi-state returns when you’ve worked or owned property in another state during the year.
What if I’m behind on prior-year returns?
We file back returns for the current year plus the prior three. If you’re further behind, we can still help — we’ll calculate your penalty exposure, set up an IRS payment plan if needed, and bring you current. Bring whatever income documents you have; we’ll work from there.
Do you handle small-business and self-employed taxes?
Yes — small business tax preparation San Jose is a core service. Schedule C for sole proprietors and gig workers, Form 1065 for partnerships, Form 1120-S for S-Corps. We work with small, owner-run businesses, not large corporations, and we don’t prepare foreign tax filings. We coordinate with your bookkeeper or work directly from your QuickBooks file.
How do I choose a tax preparer in San Jose?
First, check that the preparer is registered. In California, paid preparers who are not CPAs, attorneys or enrolled agents must register with CTEC, carry a $5,000 surety bond and complete continuing education every year. Then ask for the price before you start, confirm the preparer signs your return, and make sure they will answer IRS letters after April. You can verify Quinnie Do, CTEC ID A260452, on the CTEC website.
What is the difference between a CTEC preparer, an enrolled agent and a CPA?
All three can prepare tax returns for pay. A CTEC Registered Tax Preparer is registered with California after a 60-hour qualifying course and takes continuing education each year. An enrolled agent is licensed by the IRS and can represent taxpayers in any IRS matter, and a CPA is licensed by the state accountancy board. For most personal and small business returns, a registered preparer is a good fit and usually costs less; a complex audit is better handled by an enrolled agent, CPA or tax attorney.
When is the tax filing deadline?
Most federal and California personal returns are due April 15. Partnership and S-Corp returns are due March 15 for calendar-year businesses. An extension gives you more time to file, but not more time to pay, so it helps to start early.
Do I need an ITIN to file with you?
Not necessarily — but if you do need one for a foreign spouse or dependent, we can file your W-7 ITIN application alongside your return as an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent. Your passport stays in our office instead of being mailed to the IRS Austin unit.
