OUR SERVICE
Why Should You Choose Us ?
Brian Koehler
Business Development Manager
Co-founders Brian Koehler and Tim Blair started working in the tax business in 2007. Brian began work as an Associate Preparer at one of the “big 3” retail income tax preparation firms. Tim began work as a Technical Support Representative for an internet start-up supporting tax preparers using the first ever internet based tax preparation software. From tax returns to paycheck protection program loans and recordkeeping, Peach State Tax’s dedicated team serves all taxpayers with a variety of needs. Our results draw on more than 14 years of technical experience, delivered by 2 Master Tax Advisors.
Each of the “big 3” retail income tax preparation companies have continued to raise tax prep fees far faster than client’s income and far faster than inflation. Brian was embarrassed when a client finally slapped her palm down on the desk and exclaimed, “You charge more than a lawyer!” Brian and Tim saw an opportunity to help clients without charging more than a lawyer. Since then, Tim has, in fact, passed his bar exam and is now the lawyer for Peach State Tax. But, he only charges lawyer fees when doing lawyer work.
Each client works one-on-one with their preferred tax preparer, year after year. That attention may be here in the office, or by zoom, or by phone, it’s the client’s choice. The smart phone app and the client portal help with communication between clients and their tax preparer. Every client has as much attention as they want. If you’re a client who only wants the bottom line refund without a lot of chit-chat, great, you’ll get that bottom line refund.

What People Say About Us
We have continued to be innovators for our industry, with an entrepreneurial culture that is never satisfied with the status quo, for ourselves or for our clients.
Gina
House CleanerI had been cleaning houses and raising children as a single mom for a few years, always afraid of filing taxes because I was afraid I would owe. I never knew about earned income credit or child tax credit until Justin showed it to me. He filed 3 years of back taxes for me, getting me caught up, and I used my HUGE refund to finally buy a small house for me and my kids. I'm so happy Justin showed me that I can get a refund, it really helped me out.
Davis
First Time Home OwnerBefore buying my first home, I had been filing form 1040-EZ, and doing it on paper with a pen. Well, actually using a pencil first, so I could erase my numbers and then using a pen when I mailed in my form. The year I bought my first house, I wanted to itemize, but, I got confused and the math was harder. Tim took me under his wing and did my taxes for me using a computer for the first time and itemized. It was painless and easy. And, by efiling, I got my refund faster than I would have by mailing in my form that I had filled out by pen. I'm glad I got my refund faster.
Noelle
AirBNB OwnerI never sold a home. I kept my first home, and rented it out when I moved to my second home I kept my second home and rented it when I moved to my third home. When I sold one of my rental houses, I couldn't believe the taxes I paid. When I was getting ready to sell my second rental house, Justin told me about 1031 exchanges and how I can save on taxes by deferring the taxes and putting that money to use in my next rental. I followed his money-saving advice and used the savings to buy a beach condo in Panama City Beach that I rent out on AirBNB, and I also enjoy going to several times a year to rest from my stressful job as a nurse.
Brad
Day TraderI day trade stocks and some of the message boards talk about writing off some things that I can't write off unless I treat day trading as a business and fill out business forms. But, they're all talk and nobody actually shows you how. Tim said, "yeah, I can do it." Well, he filled out some form to make day trading a business, and wrote off my $30,000 trading software. He also showed me how to use the day-trading profits to fund a Solo 401(k) retirement plan. That wasn't on any message boards. Because of Tim, I now have a retirement plan.
Cheyenne
Small Time InvestorMy Grandma gave me a mutual fund when I turned 18. The dividends were nice when I was in college. Not a lot of money, but, I could buy some new clothes when the dividends came. I worked in college and used some free software and I thought it worked fine. When I got a job after graduating, my Mom told me to go see Justin, so I did. Well, that free software didn't calculate a dividends deduction that I'm supposed to get on my South Carolina return. Justin spotted it. Now I'm a loyal client because of Justin's eagle eye.
