About me

I’m Linda and I’ve been a tax professional for 9 years now. I got my start and training through one of the largest tax preparation businesses. At the end of tax season 2021, I decided it was time to branch out on my own, so Penny Pinch Tax LLC was born. My goal is to provide reliable, accurate tax preparation and support while being affordable as well. Over the years, I got more uncomfortable with the high prices the company was charging. So time to branch out, start small and see how it goes.

I’m working out of my home in Belleville, IL. A lot of planning has gone into creating a workspace where I can fully focus on taxes, as well as meet folks in person when possible. I’m also excited to share that I have a secure online portal so that I can help folks from anywhere. One positive thing from the Covid-19 pandemic is that more avenues are available now to connect and work with folks remotely. With the online portal, folks can upload all the pertinent documents, and then I will be able to upload the federal and state tax returns once filed.

Starting January 2024, Penny Pinch Tax LLC is now my full-time job!.  I’m excited to have more time to dedicate to tax preparation, bookkeeping, and all of the things I love. 

In general, the best way to communicate with me is via email or a message through taxdome. This will allow me to respond to messages and questions more quickly. I do my best to return phone messages as well, but email will usually generate a quicker response.

I am super excited to continue my passion of helping folks with their taxes… in a more personal way. Once the tax deadline has passed, I will still be available for questions. If folks have questions or issues after April 15th, I’ll be available to assist with IRS letters and tax planning.

Thanks so much for coming along this journey with me.

Linda
