Exceeds expectations in every category. Fill it with phrases taken straight from whatever associate guidelines your firm has, even better if you pull from the level above you.
Make them tell you explicitly why you aren't the absolutely best person at your level. Don't make it easy for them to deny you raises, promotions, etc.
Because in then end, if you don't think that of yourself, why should they.

This is the right answer, especially the language from your firm’s guidelines. I’d start with the senior associate guidelines, though. Make them think you’re at the next level.
Brag about yourself since you don’t get many opportunities to do so. Also, talk about how grateful you are for the people at your firm that have helped you develop to this point.
Did you use technology to help improve efficiency? Can you say you are proficient in any tax software (GoRS, OIT)?
Brag about how you spent time to understand the tax concept behind the work and asked thoughtful questions. Or that you helped keep the engagement organized. Or that you do things without the manager asking. Or that you manage your time very well. So many things!
Meets expectations.
