What his clients say about Pete:

"... my net worth has skyrocketed!"
" Pete has been my bookkeeper for 6 years, and he has a lot of good ideas for growing one's assets. Since I've met Pete, I've purchased 4 rental properties and opened Sports Buzz Haircuts. Pete keeps the books for Sports Buzz and the rentals and he really sweats the small stuff. Because of his attention to detail and financial suggestions, my net worth has skyrocketed!"
– Everett Acosta, Sports Buzz Haircuts: www.sportsbuzzhaircuts.com


" ... the largest tax refund I’ve ever received"
“ I used Pete's services for the first time for my 2005 tax return, which was the largest tax refund I’ve ever received. He made several helpful recommendations regarding my finances and he was very easy to work with. The service was great and I would recommend him without reservation to all my friends”
– Eduardo Coronado, Attorney, Pinetop Arizona: www.Shaffery-Coronado.com


" ... I received my return the next day!"

" I had Pete prepare my taxes, and I was impressed with his turnaround. I received my return the next day. I will be using him in the future. GREAT JOB! Thanks Pete!!"
– Deanna Duarte, Pressman


" ... he found deductions I didn't know were available!"
" Pete did a great job on my taxes, he found deductions I didn't know were available, and I received a larger return. He is up on the latest tax information, and is very conscientious and professional. It was a pleasure and very reassuring having Pete do my taxes for me."
– George Malesky, Senior Civil Engineer Technician, Pima County


" Our experience was professional yet personal"
WOW! What incredible service from Pete. Our experience was professional yet personal. This time of the year can become stressful for most households but knowing that Pete is on our side and looking out for our family makes it easier and much more relaxed. It is no longer a dread to get all our income tax information ready. We’ll see you soon Pete!
-David and Myrra Palmer, Tucson, Arizona


"… I waited until the busiest time of year"
I’ve known Pete Corrao for over 20 years and I knew that his attention to detail in his graphics training would carry over into his tax business. He made sure all my deductions were correct and accounted for and, even though I’d waited until the busiest time of year; he had my return to me within a week. I really appreciate his knowledge and confidence.
-Sally Riker Tucson, Arizona


" I get the personal interaction I need."
" Up until two years ago, I completed my own taxes with an on-line tax service. Even though I followed a step by step process, I never understood the purpose of each step nor felt that I was getting all of the benefits that were available by law. However, with Pete's help, I get the personal interaction I need, I feel confident that I've got an up-to-date expert working for me, and I haven't lost any time with the filing process. Thanks Pete, I do appreciate your help!"
– Tom Nunn, Engineer, Pima County


" He was fast, ... and I got a ton of money back too!"
" As a busy freelance designer, I don't have the time or the aptitude for managing my tax preparation. Pete handled our taxes quickly and correctly so that I could concentrate on my clients. He was fast, accurate, and I got a ton of money back too. I will certainly be contacting him for my taxes this year!"
– Dave Burnham, Burnham Graphics


" Pete has saved me lots of money over the years"
" I have been using Pete to do my taxes for years. He is fast, professional, accurate, honest, and he stays current with the new laws. Sure, I can do my own taxes, but using Pete has saved me lots of money over the years. That leaves more time for me to do what I am good at: creating works of art."
– Bill Singleton, Singleton Multimedia www.billsingleton.net

Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT)

The two TAX forms you received in the mail from the city of Tucson and the state of Arizona must be filed every month! They're called the transaction Privilege Tax (or TPT) forms, and they are how the city and state collect taxes from your business. These complicated forms can drive you nuts, but they must be filed every month, even if you had no revenue.

Send me your TPT forms and I'll calculate the tax due and fill out the city and state forms. You just sign them and send them in! My rates are reasonable, what's your time worth?
