Why Trust Molen & Associates with Your Year-End Filings?

Clarity on Worker Classification

One of the biggest risks businesses face is misclassifying employees as contractors. We help you review your worker relationships to ensure you are issuing the correct forms (W-2 vs. 1099), saving you from potential lawsuits and massive IRS fines.

We Beat the Deadline, So You Can Breathe

The January 31st deadline is unforgiving and fast-approaching. Our team works diligently to ensure your data is processed, forms are generated, and filings are submitted on time, preventing the stress of last-minute scrambles.

Simple Pricing Per Form

Don’t get stuck with a surprise bill just for printing paperwork. We offer straightforward pricing based on the number of employees or contractors you have. You will know the cost upfront, whether you have five workers or fifty.

What You Can Expect

Penalty Prevention

The IRS charges steep penalties for late or incorrect filings—and they increase the longer you wait. We ensure your forms are filed correctly the first time, protecting your business from unnecessary fines and government scrutiny.

Complete Administrative Relief

Printing on special red-ink forms and stuffing envelopes is a hassle. We handle the entire logistics process, including secure e-filing with the government and delivering copies to your recipients, saving you hours of administrative work.

Accurate Year-End Totals

We reconcile your payroll and contractor payments against your general ledger before filing. This extra step ensures that what you report to the IRS matches your books, preventing discrepancies that could trigger an audit later on.

If you are wanting honest and sincere tax preparation, this is where you need to go. We have worked with other well know tax preparation companies and ended up at the bottom of their priority list because we chose not to get the Platinum advance or whatever it was called this year. We had to file a previous year along with our current year. Brittany was awesome. She was able to calm the nerves associated with filing taxes and tax preparation as a whole. She answered ALL of our questions and even asked questions that we would have never thought of. She made us feel that there was nothing to worry about, She was looking out for us and not to get us. We will be asking for her again this next year. I'm definitely recommending Molen & Asociates to everyone I know. The fact that they are booked solid during tax season only confirms the fact that they are good at what they do.

Every year we have done business with Molen for our tax return prep and business advice, we leave with a sense of confidence that we have chosen the most qualified people to take care of us in all of Houston. We would like to extend our gratitude to Brittany for being thorough, friendly, and superb at doing her job. Although we have the option of handling everything electronically, we choose to go in for the final signing just to have that person to person friendly interaction.

I have used Molen and Associates for at least 15 years or more for my tax preparation. They are very professional and very friendly in all aspects of the process. I'm on my second tax preparer and feel that shows you they must be a good company to work for. I'm very happy with how my tax return is completed each year and how honest they are, I have no worries the IRS won't accept my return. I highly recommend Molen & Associates if you are looking for someone to do your taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.

What is the deadline for filing W-2s and 1099s?

The deadline is extremely fast. You must file Form W-2 (for employees) and Form 1099-NEC (for independent contractors) with the government and mail the copies to the recipients by January 31st. Because this date comes so soon after year-end, it is vital to have your payroll and contractor data organized in early January to avoid penalties.

Does every contractor I paid need a 1099-NEC?

Not everyone. You generally only need to issue a 1099-NEC if you paid an unincorporated person or business (like a freelancer, attorney, or landlord) $600 or more during the year via check, cash, or direct deposit. Payments made via credit card or third-party networks (like PayPal or Upwork) are usually handled by the payment processor, not you.

What information do I need to provide to you?

For employees, we need their full name, address, Social Security Number, and total wages/withholdings for the year (usually from your payroll summary). For contractors, we need a completed Form W-9 which provides their legal name, address, and Tax ID (EIN or SSN). We recommend collecting a W-9 from every contractor before you pay them the first time.

Do you handle the mailing, or do I have to do it?

We handle the entire process to save you time. Our service includes generating the forms, electronically filing them with the IRS and Social Security Administration, and delivering the required copies to your employees and contractors. You don’t have to worry about buying special paper, red ink, or envelopes.
