Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL & GETTING STARTED
Do I need to come into an office?
No. Not unless you prefer in person support or would like to drop off your tax documents.
Do you offer in-person appointments?
Yes. While most clients choose our virtual process for convenience, in-person appointments and document drop-offs are available by request. Pricing remains the same regardless of how we work together.
Why do most clients choose virtual?
It’s efficient, secure, and flexible. Clients can complete everything on their schedule while still receiving professional guidance and personalized support.
Do you work with clients outside of Ohio?
Yes. While we’re Ohio-based, we serve clients nationwide through our fully virtual process.
Who do you work with?
We work with:
- Individuals (W-2 filers)
- Self-employed professionals and contractors
- Small business owners, including LLCs and growing businesses
If you’re unsure which category you fall into, starting the process allows us to guide you correctly.
Will I work with a real tax professional?
Yes! You’ll work with a real tax professional — not just software. Your return is prepared and reviewed by a professional who understands how tax rules apply to your situation.
VIRTUAL PROCESS & SECURITY
How does virtual tax prep actually work?
Our process is simple:
1. You complete an online intake and access our secure portal
2. Upload your tax documents and information as you're prompted
3. We prepare and review your return
4. You review, ask questions, and e-sign
5. We e-file your return securely
No printing, mailing, or office visits required.
Is my information secure?
Yes. We use secure portals, encrypted document uploads, and industry-standard safeguards to protect your personal and financial information.
Can I ask questions during the process?
Absolutely. We provide clear communication and guidance throughout the process so you understand what’s happening and feel confident before signing.
DIY VS PROFESSIONAL PREP
Why shouldn’t I just use tax software?
Tax software relies on your answers — and if you’re unsure, you’re guessing.
Guessing can lead to:
1. Missed deductions
2. Overpaying taxes
3. Filing mistakes
Working with a professional helps ensure your return is prepared correctly and tailored to your situation.
Will this help me get a bigger refund?
Our goal is not to “inflate” refunds, but to ensure you’re:
- Claiming deductions and credits you’re eligible for
- Filing accurately and compliantly
- Not leaving money on the table due to uncertainty
Accuracy and confidence matter just as much as the final number.
SELF-EMPLOYED & SMALL BUSINESS QUESTIONS
Do you work with self-employed individuals and small businesses?
Yes. We regularly work with contractors and small business owners, including LLCs and growing businesses with more complex tax situations.
Guessing can lead to:
1. Missed deductions
2. Overpaying taxes
3. Filing mistakes
Working with a professional helps ensure your return is prepared correctly and tailored to your situation.
Do you handle business tax returns too?
Yes, depending on the situation. Many clients start with individual or self-employed tax prep, and we guide them if additional business filings or services are needed; including S-Corp and Partnership business tax returns.
I’m not sure what I need — is that okay?
Yes. Most clients don’t know exactly what they need when they start. Beginning with tax prep allows us to review your situation and recommend next steps if necessary.
TIMING, PRICING & EXPECTATIONS
How long does the process take?
Turnaround time depends on how quickly documents are submitted and whether follow-up is needed. Once all required information is received, returns are typically prepared promptly and reviewed with you before filing. We aim to have tax returns ready for review within 3 business days after final submission.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on the complexity of your tax return — including forms required, income sources, and business activity. Accurate pricing is provided after reviewing your information so there are no surprises.
Do you offer consultations or additional services?
Yes. In addition to tax preparation, we offer services such as tax planning, bookkeeping support, and advisory services for clients who need more ongoing guidance.
NEED CLARITY?
Is virtual tax prep a good fit for me?
If you:
- Value convenience
- Want professional oversight
- Prefer not to visit an office
- Want clarity instead of guessing
Then virtual tax prep is likely a great fit.
