FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Know what is included before we begin.
Is tax preparation free?
No. Preparation of a basic federal return starts at $150. Electronic transmission of an eligible federal return is included without an additional filing charge.
What is considered a basic return?
It generally includes W-2 income, the standard deduction, and common credits without a business, rental property, complex investments, multiple states, or extensive schedules. Classification and pricing are confirmed after document review.
Do you guarantee a refund?
No. The result depends on income, withholding, credits, deductions, payments, and applicable rules. We never promise a particular refund amount.
Does preparation include IRS representation?
Not automatically. Preparation and filing do not include representation in audits, collections, or appeals. Any post-filing service requires a separate agreement and depends on applicable credentials and authority.
Who is responsible for the information on the return?
The taxpayer must provide complete and accurate information, review the return, and authorize it before filing. The preparer signs the return and includes the required PTIN.
