Questions about this service

What should I bring?
Last year’s return if you have it, your income forms, and records of anything that may affect your return. We will send you a specific checklist after your first message.
Do you prepare state returns too?
Tell us which states are involved, including any state where you lived or worked during the year, and we will confirm what we can prepare.
Can you help with earlier years, or with a letter from a tax agency?
Often, yes. Tell us which years are involved, or send a copy of the letter, and we will tell you what we need and whether it is something we can handle. Please do not ignore a notice.
How long does it take?
It depends on how complete your documents are and how busy the season is. We will give you a realistic timeline when you get in touch.
