FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers are based on our service model (Miami office and phone appointments). For anything situation-specific, book an appointment so we can review details.

Can I file with you if I live outside Florida?

Yes. We offer phone appointments nationwide. If you are located in Florida, you can also choose an in-person appointment at our Miami office.

What should I bring?

Start with your ID, information for everyone on the return, and income forms (W-2s / 1099s). Use the interactive checklist on this page to generate a personalized list based on your situation.

Can you help with self-employment income?

Yes. We work with self-employed and 1099 income. Bring (or upload) your income records and a categorized expense summary. If records need cleanup or reconstruction, additional work may be required.

Can you help with prior-year or amended returns?

Yes. Please bring copies of the original filed return(s) if available and any IRS or state notices. We’ll confirm what’s needed for the specific year(s) after review.

How is my preparation fee determined?

Fees depend on the forms required, income sources, complexity, and the condition of the records provided. Self-employment returns that require bookkeeping or reconstruction may involve additional fees.

How do I upload documents securely?

Upload documents through our secure client portal (TaxDome): Client Portal Login. Please do not email tax documents or SSNs.

Is the refund estimator a guaranteed refund?

No. It is not a filed return and does not guarantee any outcome. On this page, the estimator interface is a draft and does not produce a verified refund or balance calculation.
