The process…
(1) Engage
Contact us to start the ball rolling! We’ll respond with an engagement letter. We’ll also explain what documents are needed and how to submit them to the online account that we’ll set up for you.
(2) Gather docs
Submit your documents online (this is the preferred method). You can also drop them off at the office (by appointment) or use email or US mail.
(3) Tax prep
We’ll review your documents and begin work on your tax return. We’ll contact you with questions, and if necessary, schedule an office visit.
(4) Review and submit
When the return is complete, we’ll contact you for signatures. You’ll be able to review it online and discuss it with us if you like. Upon your approval, we’ll electronically file your tax return.
