How long does it take to complete my return?
Once all four required actions above have been completed,it generally takes between 2-5 weeks to complete our preparation and review process. You will be given a draft copy of your return to review and ask questions before we e-file. Timing depends largely on expediency of communications when additional clarifications or additional documentation requests are sent to you. The quicker you can provide us the information we need, the quicker we can complete your return(s).
How much does it cost to prepare my return(s)?
Our current pricing for entity and individual tax preparation services can be found here.
Who do I talk to if I need to discuss my 2023 tax circumstances with you?
We encourage you to call or text us at (503) 610-8291 or email [email protected] to schedule a complimentary tax intake appt to go over 2023 information before we prepare your return. We offer these appts over the phone, virtually, or in-person at our office in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
What sort of communications should I expect during the tax process?
We will be in consistent communication as soon as we get started on your return. This is primarily done via email but can also be over text or phone call if preferred. For a quick outline of our tax prep process, refer to our tax preparation outline from the tax center.
How do I submit additional tax documents to you?
While email attachment is very convenient, it is highly unsecure. We value protecting your sensitive information and have created multiple opportunities to safely upload your information using our secure upload link.
When will you charge for your services?
You will be charged for tax preparation AFTER we have prepared and reviewed your return and have issued you a draft copy to review prior to e-filing. We will not e-file your return until you have confirmed you’re ready to move forward and we have received payment for our service.
