1st Choice Tax Services Inc.

1st Choice is so honored, along with our sister organization Rush Tax Resolution, to be a sponsor of the Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation Graduation Celebration, which honors youth who have completed all the hard work in their associated programs.

1st Choice is wrapping up the season with style and a whole lot of gratitude for everyone's hard work and dedication.

April 15th is approaching fast - kind of like your tax deadline anxiety. Forget to file? It happens. Call us and we'll help you file an extension.

It’s Who’s Who Wednesday—time to itemize the legends, deduct the nonsense, and reveal who’s truly earned their place in today’s spotlight.

This week we’re featuring Barb Richards —proof that you can escape Illinois winters if you try hard enough. After 13 years accounting at the University of Illinois, she headed to Tucson in ’98 and has been preparing taxes ever since. She’s an Enrolled Agent, a pro with nonresident returns, and when she’s not sorting out your deductions, she’s literally building furniture. Some people unwind with TV; Barb unwinds by constructing chairs. Respect.

Since the IRS still isn’t offering subscription cancellation (shocking, I know), we’re stepping in like the heroes we are.
Call our office to schedule your appointment.
Seriously—only 12 days left before panic becomes the official tax-season sport.

Happy April Fools’ Day and welcome to Who’s Who Wednesday. Don’t worry, we promise today’s highlight isn’t a prank. No rubber chickens, no fake announcements—just a genuinely awesome person we’re putting in the spotlight. (Scout’s honor.)
