Individual & small business returns
Most tax offices won’t tell you what a return costs until it’s finished. I quote a flat fee after a ten-minute conversation, in writing, and it doesn’t move unless your situation does.
Plainly
No. Payment is due when your return is finished and before it’s transmitted. I don’t offer refund-advance or refund-transfer products, which are how a lot of this industry actually makes its money and which quietly cost filers a few hundred dollars for the privilege of waiting less.
It goes into an encrypted portal built for tax practices, and into my tax software. It never goes into email, text, or this website. There is no upload form on this site and no place to put one — a website that never holds your data can’t leak it.
It’s common and it’s fixable, and the sooner it starts the better it goes. Prior-year returns are quoted separately, per year. You will not get a lecture from me, and nothing you tell me during intake changes the fee we agreed on.
I prepare it, I review it line by line against your documents, and I sign it. You have one point of contact from the first call to the IRS acknowledgement. If something doesn’t reconcile you get a specific question, not an automated reminder.
You hear about it and approve a revised fee before I keep going. You will never open an invoice you didn’t agree to. If the revised number doesn’t work for you, you owe nothing for the conversation.
Where your documents live
So here is the entire process, including the part most offices don’t put in writing.
STEP 01
Ten minutes on the phone or in person about your situation. No documents change hands yet. You leave with a written flat fee and a checklist of exactly what to gather.
STEP 02
You get an invitation to an encrypted portal. Upload from a browser, or photograph paper documents with the mobile app. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest.
STEP 03
Your return is prepared, then checked line by line against your source documents. You review the draft in the portal before anything is transmitted anywhere.
STEP 04
You e-sign Form 8879 in the portal. The return is transmitted and you get the IRS acknowledgement. Your complete return stays available to download.
One thing worth memorizing. I will never email or text you asking for a Social Security number, a bank account number, or a password. Every February, people receive messages that look like they came from their preparer and ask exactly that. If you get one, it isn’t from me — call the number on this page.
What I prepare
Federal 1040 with the schedules your situation actually needs. Florida has no personal income tax, so most residents file federal only — if you moved or earned income elsewhere, that state comes too.
Form list TBD
1099 income, home office, vehicle, and equipment depreciation. If you started working for yourself this year, we’ll also set up quarterly estimates so next April isn’t a surprise.
Form list TBD
Unfiled years, corrections, and returns another preparer got wrong. Quoted per year, and we work oldest to newest so the IRS sees you moving in the right direction.
Form list TBD
Who does the work
“I started this because I kept meeting people who’d been charged a fee they never agreed to, by someone whose name they never learned.”
I’m a solo preparer, which means I answer the phone and I sign your return. It also means I have a real limit on how many returns I can take before April, so the calendar fills. If you know you’re coming, come early.
