1) Quick intake and document list
We ask a few questions, then give you a clear list of what to send. No guessing games.
2) Review, prep, and follow-ups
We prepare the return, then come back with any questions that impact your result. You’ll know why we’re asking.
3) Filing and next-step plan
We map your filing dates, extension needs, and estimated payments, so you don’t get hit with “oops” penalties later.
We organize supporting records so your return has receipts, summaries, and logic behind it, not just a pile of documents.
You get straight responses to tax questions, with steps you can take right away instead of vague advice that goes nowhere.
Start with your needs: W-2 only, self-employed, rental property, or a business return. We’ll confirm scope, required documents, timeline, and expected filing steps before we begin.
Bring W-2s, 1099s, mortgage interest (1098), property tax records, childcare costs, education forms (1098-T), and last year’s tax return. If you’re unsure, we’ll give you a checklist.
Yes, but we first confirm what’s missing and whether it’s required to file accurately. In many cases, we wait for the correct form or file an extension to avoid errors.
Yes. Send the notice and any related return pages. We’ll explain what the letter means, what response is needed, and handle the reply steps with you.
Preparation reports what has already happened. Planning looks ahead, like adjusting withholding, timing expenses, or setting estimates, so you avoid surprises and reduce avoidable tax.
Pricing depends on complexity: number of forms, business activity, states involved, and cleanup needed. We confirm the scope first, then give a clear fee expectation before we proceed.
