Tax preparation is the process of compiling and filing tax returns, typically annually, by gathering financial records, calculating taxable income, applying deductions and credits, and submitting the return to tax authorities like the IRS. It is performed by individuals themselves, professional tax preparers, CPAs, or enrolled agents using specialized software such as TurboTax or professional tax preparation systems. Accuracy and knowledge of current tax rules are essential to avoid errors, penalties, or missed refunds.
