Your Ultimate Guide to Taxes in Houston, Texas
Preparing your own taxes often results in more questions than answers due to complex laws. It is easy to overlook entitled deductions and credits, and while software is available, it cannot replace the specialized insight of an experienced professional.
Individual Income Tax Preparation with Molen & Associates
To have us file your taxes, you start by calling our office to schedule an appointment and sending us your tax documents. During the appointment, you will have a personal interview with one of our tax professionals to uncover and discuss all deductions to which you are legitimately entitled. Your tax return will be checked and rechecked by our staff and computer software identifying potential problems the IRS may look at more closely and reviewing the math to limit IRS contacts. Your tax return can be filed electronically so you will get a refund back quicker. Our tax professionals will show you how to adjust your payroll withholding to get more money back each week. Why give the IRS an interest free loan for up to 16 months? We will even show you potential deductions to limit your tax liability for next year. You can rest assured you have received not only a quality tax return but we’ve held your hand through the entire process so you don’t have to worry.
Why Choose Molen & Associates for Your Personal Tax Return?

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.
Is it really worth hiring a professional if my return seems simple?
Yes. Even “simple” returns can have hidden complexities. Tax laws change every year, and DIY software often relies on you to know which questions to ask. At Molen & Associates, we look at the big picture. We ensure you aren’t missing standard deductions, education credits, or other opportunities that could increase your refund or lower your liability, giving you total peace of mind.
How do you determine your pricing for individual returns?
What documents do I need to bring to my appointment?
To get the best result, we need a complete picture of your financial year. Please bring a valid photo ID, Social Security cards for you and all dependents, and a copy of last year’s return. Additionally, bring all income documents (W-2s, 1099s), mortgage interest statements (1098), property tax records, and charitable donation receipts.
Can I file my taxes without coming into the office?
Absolutely. We know you are busy. We offer a secure online client portal where you can safely upload your documents from your phone or computer. We can handle your entire return remotely, communicating via email or phone, so you get professional service without leaving your home.
How quickly will my tax return be ready?
We prioritize accuracy, but we also respect your time. Once we have all your necessary documents, our typical turnaround time is 7 to 14 days. During the peak of tax season, this can vary slightly, but we will always keep you informed on the status of your return.
