About
Experience you can actually measure.
Credentials and counts matter more than adjectives. Here are ours.
Preparer Tax Identification Number
Authorized Electronic Return Originator
Electronic Filing Identification Number
Individual returns assisted
That number represents thousands of W-2s reconciled, deductions found, notices decoded and April deadlines met — the pattern recognition that only comes from volume.
What that experience covers
Who prepares your return?
Jared Steele — Founder & Tax Preparer
Every return at Steele Industries is prepared or reviewed by the same person — the one whose name is on the door. Jared holds a current PTIN (federal preparer registration), is an authorized ERO with an EFIN — returns are e-filed directly under his own IRS authorization — and maintains annual continuing education in federal tax law.
We publish credentials precisely because precision is the point: you will never see inflated titles here. What you will see is exactly who handles your information, what qualifies them, and how to reach them — including in July, when a notice arrives and the seasonal shops have gone dark.
That last part matters. The IRS itself suggests taxpayers consider whether a preparer will still be available months after filing season. We will be.
