A Tax Assistant is a professional who helps individuals and businesses prepare and file their tax returns. They gather financial information, ensure compliance with tax laws, and identify potential deductions or credits to minimize tax liability. Tax Assistants often work under the supervision of certified tax professionals or accountants. In addition to preparing tax documents, a Tax Assistant may also provide guidance on tax-related questions and assist clients in understanding their tax obligations. They play a crucial role during tax season, helping to streamline the filing process and reduce the risk of errors that could lead to penalties.
