Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

First, you contact us and make an appointment. Our support staff then assists you every step of the way! That means getting your tax information organized, uploading it to our secure document server before your appointment, notifying you of your returns’ submission, and notifying you when it’s accepted. There’s a whole team to help you navigate the process.

Then comes your appointment. Your preparer will already have your return drafted when you arrive. We will then focus on hunting for additional deductions, answering your questions, and strategizing for the coming year. When it’s all done you review and sign electronically, and we e-file the return.

Need help later in the year? Whether you’re getting married, exercising stock options, or selling rental property—we are open year round. Contact us anytime with your questions or concerns. You can depend on us!

How do I get my documents to you?

However you want. Our preference is for you to use our document uploader. Alternatively, you can bring them in to our offices.

Please don’t send them via e-mail, as this is the weakest link in security around handling sensitive documents. We also ask that you not share them via services like Google Docs or Dropbox.
