Raquel McCormick Tax Service in Chula Vista prepares individual and small-business tax returns from a Third Avenue location in the 91911 Castle Park district, south of the Third Avenue Village core. The practice handles IRS notice responses and examination-stage correspondence that can escalate to formal representation requiring counsel coordination with firms on the Chula Vista legal corridor, including Arroyo Law Center. An IRS Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) credential supplements the practitioner's PTIN registration, granting limited IRS representation rights for returns the practice has prepared and signed. Federal Form 1040 personal returns, California Form 540 state filings, and Schedule C sole-proprietor calculations anchor the filing workload, and the Third Avenue address places the office within the same south-corridor tax cluster as Bayfront Tax Group. Peak-season engagements include California Earned Income Tax Credit optimization, multi-form estimated-tax voucher preparation, and Schedule SE self-employment tax calculations incorporating both the 12.4% Social Security and 2.9% Medicare components.
