Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring to my tax prep appointment?

  • Driver's License/ID
  • Any income source: W2s & 1099s
  • List of dependents and their SSNs
  • Paid Property Taxes or Monthly Rent Paid
  • Prior year's tax return if done elsewhere 

Other documents may be necessary, but this is the basic place to start 


Can I write off my medical bills, donations, etc?

There are many expense that one can still write off including medical and donations, but you need a substantial amount for it to be advantageous to itemize. Because of the high standard deduction most people are better off using the standard deduction instead of itemizing. Look at the standard deduction for your filing status and your deductions to get an idea, if you still are not sure just ask!

Do you charge extra for additional forms?

We have no hidden fees! The only forms we charge more for are Schedule E (Rental Properties), Schedule C (Small Business), and any additional State returns. All fees are outlines in our services tab

Can I just drop off my tax documents anytime?

See 2025 Tax Season tab for up to date information about dropping off.

How long will it take & how do I pay my tax prep fee?

After you drop off your documents or have your tax prep appointment you will leave your papers for the tax preparer to work on. Within two weeks you will get a call to pick up your documents. Stop at upstairs reception to pick up your tax return, sign for efiling and pay then. Cash, card or check may be used. We cannot take fee out of your refund.

Do my spouse and I both have to be there?

Both of you do not have to be at the tax preparation appointment. At pickup we do need BOTH spouses signatures on the efile authorization form. If both of you cannot make it in together, this form can be brought home for signature and brought back or emailed back.
