Frequently Asked Questions
1. What information is required to get a quote for your services? - A copy of your prior year tax return is needed, and can be emailed to us. Your prior year tax return is the fastest way for us to determine what is required to prepare your current year tax return. We'll also review your prior year tax return for any revisions that would result in a refund of taxes.
2. How long does it take to complete my tax return? - We try to complete all tax returns within one week after your final piece of information is received. Depending on the numbers of returns that are received in a given week, it may take longer. But completing returns within a week is always our goal.
3. Should I submit all of the information at once, or piecemeal as I receive it? All of your information should be substantially delivered before we start your return. Delivering your information piecemeal makes the process inefficient, and may increase preparation costs.
4. How much does a return cost? - We typically prepare more complex returns, and as a result our minimum cost to prepare a return is $400. Before we start a return, we provide a quote for your return as described in item #1. There is no charge for our initial meeting.
