Personal tax preparation

Personal tax preparation for individuals and families in Ballwin and the greater St. Louis area

This is the page for people who are done guessing at forms, credits, and deadlines. Candy Omlid Tax Services works with clients in Ballwin, Chesterfield, Ellisville, and nearby St. Louis communities who want careful preparation and a real person to call when questions come up.

Talk About Your Return See individual tax service page

Common reasons people reach out include multiple income sources, retirement income, new dependents, property sales, investments, and returns that simply need more attention than a one-size-fits-all tax office provides.

When personal taxes stop feeling simple

Your income comes from more than one place, so the return is no longer simple.
You have W-2, 1099, brokerage, retirement, or K-1 documents that need to match up cleanly.
A life change such as marriage, divorce, a home sale, or a new dependent changed your filing picture.
You want help understanding credits, estimated payments, or why last year's return turned out the way it did.
You would rather work with a local tax preparer who can answer follow-up questions after filing.

What working together looks like

We start by understanding the full picture so missing documents, deadline risks, and unusual items show up early.

Your return is prepared with clear communication about filing options, credits, payment expectations, and next steps.

After filing, you still have someone local to contact if a notice arrives or another question comes up.
