# prepare tax returns forms — Accountant

As an Accountant, 'preparing tax return forms' isn’t just *filling* boxes; it's a core service delivering client value. Daily, you'll be analyzing financial data – general ledgers, trial balances, supporting documentation like invoices and receipts – to accurately complete 1040s (individual), 1120s/1120Ss (corporate/partnership), or other relevant forms. This includes identifying all eligible deductions & credits *beyond* what the client provides, proactively asking clarifying questions about expenses, and ensuring everything aligns with current tax law. It's less 'data entry' and more ‘financial storytelling’ to justify reported figures.
