FAQ
Can you help me file taxes if I’m behind?
We can help individuals and businesses file their taxes even when their spreadsheets are not perfect. We will help you reconstruct your year’s income and expenses and 1099s. We aim to take taxes off your busy plate so you can focus on what you do best.
What happens if I get a letter from the IRS after we file?
Keep calm. We are behind you every step of the way. Forward it to us, we will receive it, explain exactly what it means, help you draft a response and provide the information to resolve it.
What if I don’t have my W2?
There are two ways you may access your W2s: a) Contact your previous employers and ask them to send you your W2s or b) Contact the IRS so that they can send you copies of your tax records including transcripts of past tax returns and wage statements.
