About Gary F Morales Income Tax Office
The listing sits on First Avenue between East 121st and 122nd Streets in the 10029 ZIP code—an area with high demand for bilingual and neighborhood-based tax services. No dedicated business website was linked in the directory manifest at desk review; verification relied on third-party preparer listings and the published phone line (917) 662-3020.
TaxBuzz identifies Gary Morales as a New York-based preparer with service lines in tax preparation and tax planning. As an Annual Filing Season Program participant, Morales has completed IRS continuing education requirements for a given filing year and may represent clients whose returns he prepared and signed, within program limits—not the same scope as an Enrolled Agent or CPA unless separately credentialed.
This profile should not be confused with other “Morales Tax” brands operating elsewhere in New York (for example, Yonkers or separate group practices with websites). Always confirm the preparer’s PTIN and credentials on your engagement letter before signing.
Services and practice areas
- Individual income tax preparation — federal and New York State returns for wage earners, retirees, and gig workers.
- Tax planning consultations — estimated payments, withholding adjustments, and basic year-end planning where offered.
- Small-business and Schedule C support — common for neighborhood sole proprietors; confirm scope for partnerships and S-corps.
- IRS representation (limited) — Annual Filing Season Program preparers may represent on returns they signed, subject to IRS rules; complex audits may require EA/CPA/attorney referral.
Who they serve
The First Avenue location primarily serves East Harlem, South Bronx border communities, and upper Manhattan residents who prefer a local storefront over national chains. Clients often include W-2 employees, mixed-income households claiming EITC or CTC, and small landlords with simple rental schedules. Spanish-language service was not confirmed on desk review—call ahead if bilingual support is required.
Languages and accessibility
English is assumed for standard intake. Physical accessibility of the 2244 First Avenue storefront (step-free entry, hours) was not verified remotely—phone confirmation recommended. Extended-season hours typically concentrate around the federal filing deadline; off-season appointment availability varies by preparer.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gary Morales an attorney or CPA?
Public TaxBuzz data lists Morales as a tax preparer in the Annual Filing Season Program—not automatically a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or attorney. Ask for credentials (CPA, EA, JD) and PTIN before engagement; the directory category tag “Tax Attorney” should not substitute for your own verification.
What documents should I bring to a First Avenue appointment?
Typical intake includes photo ID, Social Security cards for dependents, all W-2 and 1099 forms, 1098 mortgage interest, health insurance forms (1095-A if applicable), prior-year return, and bank routing details for direct deposit. Self-employed clients should bring income/expense summaries and 1099-NEC/1099-K records.
How do I check a preparer’s IRS status?
Use the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications at irs.gov to search by name, ZIP, or credential type before sharing sensitive documents.
