Individual Tax Preparation in Lexington, KY

Personal tax returns

Filing your own return sounds simple until it isn't — a new job, a home sale, freelance income, or a change in family status can turn a straightforward return into something you don't want to guess your way through. Premier Tax & Accounting has prepared individual tax returns for clients across Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky for more than a decade, and personal returns make up about half of everything we file each year.

Here's how it works. Book an appointment, and if your return is simple, we'll sit down together and complete it while you're here. Short on time? Drop off your documents and we'll handle the rest, then reach out if we have questions. Prefer to stay home entirely? You can upload your documents, review your return, and e-sign everything through our secure online portal — no office visit required. However you'd rather work, we take the time to understand your situation instead of rushing you through a form.

We prepare federal and Kentucky state individual returns for W-2 employees, retirees, self-employed freelancers, rental property owners, and families claiming dependents, education credits, or the Earned Income Tax Credit. If you've had a major life change — a marriage, a new baby, a home purchase, a side hustle that grew into real income — we'll walk you through what it means for your return this year and what to plan for next year.

Lexington and Louisville clients also deal with local tax wrinkles that a national chain or software program can miss, like Fayette County and Jefferson County filing requirements and, for Lexington residents, the LFUCG occupational license tax. We stay on top of both IRS and Kentucky Department of Revenue rules so nothing gets missed.

Every preparer on our team holds the IRS's Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) credential, and we stand behind every return we file. If you get a notice from the IRS or the Kentucky Department of Revenue after we've prepared your return, we're here to help you understand it.
