For individual returns, you will typically need your W-2s, 1099 forms, mortgage interest statements (1098), records of deductible expenses, prior year's return, and valid photo ID. We will send you a personalized checklist through our secure client portal based on your specific situation.
We offer consultations by phone or Zoom video — whichever you prefer. You will upload documents securely through our TaxDome client portal, and we can review everything together in real time. No office visit required, no matter where you are in the U.S.

Absolutely. Don't panic — many IRS notices are straightforward to resolve. We will review the notice, explain what it means, and handle the response on your behalf. Whether it's a billing issue, unfiled returns, or a payment plan, we have the experience to guide you through it and advocate for the best outcome.
A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) has passed a rigorous national exam, met education and experience requirements, and maintains ongoing professional education. CPAs can represent you before the IRS, provide attestation services, and offer a broader scope of financial expertise compared to non-licensed preparers.
Fees vary based on the complexity of your situation. We provide transparent pricing upfront — no surprises. Request a free initial consultation and we will give you a clear quote based on your specific needs before any work begins.
The best time for tax planning is year-round, not just in April! We recommend a mid-year review to project your tax liability and identify strategies to minimize what you owe. Proactive planning throughout the year can save you significantly more than last-minute filing.

Whether you want to get your finances back on track, are thinking about starting a business, or simply want an accountability partner to help you stay focused — coaching gives you the guidance and support to move forward with confidence. It's for anyone ready to overcome barriers and reach their full potential.
