Our Process & Timing

Phase 1. Protection and Setup: Free, confidential consultation to confirm scope. After engagement and authorization, we create your secure file, request IRS transcripts (typically within 1 business day), and outline required documents and any state filings.
Phase 2. Investigation and Strategy: We review transcripts, income, deductions, credits, and any filing gaps. A licensed professional prepares your return, flags questions early, and recommends withholding or estimated tax adjustments if needed.
Phase 3. Resolution and Compliance: We complete a second quality review, e-file your return, provide confirmation, and explain next steps for refunds or amounts due.

We provide a written scope before work begins. If scope changes, we pause and reauthorize before proceeding.

Cost: What Drives Price (No Surprises)

We do not publish rates here. Your fee depends on:

Complexity: forms and schedules, investments, rental property, multi-state filing
Records and reconciliation: quality of books, missing documents, transcript work
Business needs: self-employment, payroll, sales tax issues, or entity filings

You will receive a clear, written scope before we start. No guaranteed outcomes; results depend on eligibility, documentation, and agency review.

Tax Planning vs. Tax Preparation

Tax preparation ensures that last year is filed accurately. Tax planning looks ahead to optimize withholding, estimated taxes, timing of deductions, and contributions (IRA/HSA/Roth). If proactive planning is appropriate, we can discuss a separate planning engagement.

Credits and Deductions: We Help You Navigate

Common credits: Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, education credits (based on eligibility).
Deductions: Choosing standard versus itemized, including state and local taxes, mortgage interest, charitable giving, and business expenses.
Sales tax deduction: When it applies and how it may fit your situation.

We identify what applies based on your documents and eligibility. Clear guidance, no hype.

Back Taxes and Notices? We Can Catch You Up

If you are missing returns or received IRS or state notices, we pull transcripts (typically within 1 business day after authorization), prepare back returns, and coordinate with our resolution team when needed, such as payment plans or other programs based on eligibility. After engagement and authorization, we contact the IRS or state to address enforcement and keep you informed.
