How much do you charge?
Our fees depend on the complexity of your tax return. We consider factors like forms needed, business income, and rental properties. While we can’t give an exact quote upfront, our prices are competitive for the level of service we offer. The average return costs $300, but simpler ones are usually around $200. This is just an estimate, and your final fee may vary.
How long does it take to get my taxes finished?
Most tax returns can be wrapped up in your first appointment. Occasionally, we might need some extra information from you and send you off to gather it. Once you have that information, you can drop it off depending on our availability, or we can schedule another quick appointment to finalize everything. If your tax situation is more complex, like involving businesses or multiple rental properties, the process might take longer.
What do I need to bring to a tax appointment?
Identification: Photo ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.) and Social Security cards (or ITIN assignment letters) for yourself, your spouse (if filing jointly), and any dependents.
Prior year tax returns: If you have them, bring your federal and state returns from last year.
Income documentation: Wage and earning statements (Forms W-2, 1099-G, etc.) from all employers and any other income sources.
Deduction documentation: Receipts, canceled checks, or other records for deductions you plan to claim (charitable donations, medical expenses, etc.).
How long does it take to get my refund?
Do you efile?
Yes! We clearly understand the advantages of electronic filing. Here are some key points to mention:
- Faster processing: E-filing leads to faster return processing compared to mailing paper forms.
- Reduced errors: Electronic filing significantly reduces errors compared to manual data entry from mailed returns.
These benefits can save you time and frustration during tax season.
What should I do if I receive a notice from the IRS or the State?
Act quickly! Bring the notice to us ASAP.
We will:
- Review it for accuracy.
- Explain how to respond (including deadlines).
- Advise on fees to handle the response for you (optional).
Don’t ignore these notices!
- Common ones (like CP2000) suggest tax return changes and can lead to penalties if unanswered.
- You typically have 30 days to respond.
Considering our help?
- We’ll need signed Power of Attorney documents, limited to your specific tax issue and timeframe.
- These documents generally don’t allow us to sign anything for you.
- If you want us to sign specific documents, we’ll need additional authorization.
Can I just upload or mail in my tax information?
Yes! However, to accurately prepare your taxes, we will still ask that you complete our annual questionnaire (to make sure we do not miss anything and to honor our due diligence requirements with the IRS), and we will ask that you sign our engagement letter.
I filed my tax return on XX date, I still have not received my refund.
- Check for an offset: Did the IRS use your refund to pay off another debt? Call the IRS debt offset department if so (phone number provided).
- Wait for processing: Has it been more than 3 weeks since your return was accepted? If yes, and you confirmed acceptance, call the IRS for further assistance (800-829-4477).
- Verify your bank details: Did you enter the correct address, routing number, and account number for direct deposit? Double-check and confirm with your bank if unsure.
- State vs. Federal Refunds: Refunds are separate. They do not come together. Federal refunds are generally received within 21 days of acceptance and State returns vary by state but most common within 14 days of acceptance.
Can you file for states other than Illinois?
Can I deduct medical expenses?
Each year, the IRS allows you to deduct unreimbursed expenses for qualifying medical expenses if they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. These expenses can come from:
- Preventative care
- Medical treatments
- Surgeries
- Dental and vision care
- Psychologist and psychiatrist visits
- Prescription medications
- Prescription appliances (glasses or contacts, false teeth, hearing aids, etc.)
- Travel expenses paid to receive this medical care (mileage, bus fare, and parking fees)
How much you can deduct depends on your income and whether you itemize your deductions.
How long do you keep my filed information on file?
We retain your tax information for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide you services. We may retain or use your information as necessary to comply with our policies, legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The IRS requires us to retain filed tax returns for at least three years.
Where I can access more information about your privacy policy?
Please see our entire Privacy Policy for more detailed answers to your questions.
What is the best way to communicate with my preparer??
Reach us through the administrative staff during busy times. Tax preparers are often booked and might not be able to answer calls directly. Email or schedule a free 15-minute appointment for detailed questions. The staff can get answers from preparers quickly if needed. For complex questions, email or schedule a short appointment.
When is my return filed?
We’ll file your return electronically once we have everything:
- All necessary documents, including signed agreements and forms.
- Proof of refundable tax credits (like EITC or Child Tax Credit).
- Full payment for your tax prep services.
Can I get an electronic copy of my tax return?
How long should I keep my tax records?
- Generally keep records for 4 years: This covers most audits by the IRS (3 years) and California Franchise Tax Board (4 years). They can go back further for errors or suspected fraud.
- Depreciation and asset records: Keep for 4 years after disposal. This applies to items you’ve depreciated (like cars) and assets (like your house).
- Net operating loss and credit paperwork: Keep for 4 years after claiming. Maintain documentation related to these for 4 years after the year you claim them on your tax return.
- Unlimited audit for fraud: If the IRS or Franchise Tax Board suspect fraud, they can audit for any past year.
