Common questions

Answers before you book.

A few of the questions we hear most. Read all 10 on the FAQ page.

See all FAQs →
  • What do I need to bring for my tax appointment?

    Photo ID, Social Security cards for everyone on the return, all W-2s and 1099s, last year's return if you're new to us, and any documents for deductions or credits (mortgage interest, daycare, tuition, charitable giving, business expenses). If you're not sure, send what you have and we'll let you know what's missing.

  • How much does tax preparation cost?

    Pricing depends on the forms your return requires. Simple federal + state returns start at a flat fee; small business and multi-state returns are quoted before any work begins. You'll always see the price before you sign.

  • Can I file my taxes with you remotely?

    Yes. Most clients file with us without ever coming in. You upload documents to our secure portal, we prepare the return, we meet by video to walk through it, and you e-sign. We e-file the same day in most cases.

  • How long does it take to get my refund?

    When you e-file with direct deposit, the IRS typically issues refunds within 21 days. State refunds vary. We give you the IRS confirmation number so you can track it yourself, and we follow up if anything stalls.
