Individual Tax Service

Individual Tax Service is an accounting firm in Oak Lawn, Illinois. The firm specializes in personal and corporate tax return filing and year-round business accounting services, serving individual clients and businesses throughout the Chicagoland area and across the country. It holds a rating of 4.00 based on customer reviews.

The firm traces its origins more than 40 years back, when former IRS agent Hank Gory began preparing taxes for a couple dozen friends, earning the nickname Mr. Tax. It incorporated as Individual Tax Service in 1997. Today the business is run by Hank, his wife Deb, their three daughters, and a close-knit team of family and adopted family members. Each year the team helps more than 2,000 individuals and businesses file taxes and manage their accounting, and clients have come largely through word of mouth, family tradition, and the sign on 103rd Street.

The firm's approach centers on listening. Its team treats a tax return as a snapshot of a person's life or a business's journey, and by taking time to understand each client's story, it looks for deductions, credits, and opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked. That approach has produced high client retention and multi-generational relationships with families. Clients describe the preparers as friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and professional, and one notes traveling more than 20 miles from Chicago's far northwest side to have taxes prepared by Hank. The office is open extended hours during tax season, including weekday evenings until 8 pm and Saturday mornings, with appointments available off-season from June through December.

Individual Tax Service is located at 4809 W 103rd St in Oak Lawn. Its rating reflects positive feedback from the customers who have reviewed it.

For Oak Lawn individuals and businesses looking for tax preparation and accounting handled by a family that has served the area for decades, Individual Tax Service brings more than 20 years of tax-season experience and a reputation built on listening to clients.
