Alma's Tax Services in Chula Vista provides individual and small-business tax preparation from a Landis Avenue office near the Third Avenue Village district. ITIN and power-of-attorney tax forms require certified identity verification before IRS submission, a multi-step preparation process that overlaps with the livescan and notarization work handled by Ro-Co Multi Services Livescan & Notary in the same downtown corridor. The practice is a member of the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce and maintains a PTIN-registered preparer on staff for federal and California returns. Bilingual English-Spanish filing support extends to Schedule C self-employment returns, rental-income Schedule E processing, and California Form 540 state adjustments. Itemized-deduction preparation for homeowners covers mortgage-interest write-offs, property-tax deductions, and capital-gains exclusion calculations on home sales — the same transaction data that closing agents at Peraza Real Estate & Associates generate during South Bay escrows. The firm calculates earned-income tax credit eligibility across all EITC-qualifying filing statuses, applying the IRS three-test framework — age, relationship, and residency — to maximize refundable credit amounts.
