How the process works

Free consultation
We talk through your income, your household and anything that changed this year, and tell you what we need.
Document checklist
You send your forms and records; we review them and ask about anything missing or unclear.
Preparation and review
We prepare your federal, Ohio and municipal returns and go over the results with you before anything is filed.
E-file and follow-up
Once you approve, we file. If a notice arrives later about a return we prepared, contact us and we will look at it with you.

Typical timelines

Federal individual returns are generally due April 15 (the next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday). An extension gives more time to file, not more time to pay.
Ohio individual returns and most Ohio municipal returns generally follow the same April deadline.
Self-employed people usually make quarterly estimated payments during the year.
Most returns can be prepared within a few days of receiving complete documents; complex or multi-year situations take longer.

These are general timelines. Your situation, the agency’s workload and any deadlines in your letters can change them.

Documents to gather

Photo ID and Social Security cards or ITIN letters for everyone on the return (shown in person or sent securely, never by chat or email)
W-2s, 1099s (NEC, MISC, INT, DIV, B, R, G, K), 1095-A and any K-1s
Business income and expense records, mileage and home-office details if you are self-employed
Mortgage interest (1098), property tax, charitable and medical records if you may itemize
Last year’s federal, Ohio and city returns, and any IRS or state letters
Estimated tax payments made during the year

Please don’t send Social Security numbers, bank details or tax documents through the website chat or forms. We’ll arrange a secure way to share them.

How fees work

We quote a flat fee after the free consultation, once we know what the work involves, and agree the scope with you before any work starts. Amounts you owe the tax agency, and any agency fees (for example an offer application fee or a payment-plan user fee), are separate and are paid to the agency, not to us.

Frequently asked questions

Do you prepare Ohio and city returns too?

Yes. We prepare federal, Ohio and municipal returns together, including returns filed with RITA and CCA, so the numbers match across all three.

Can you review returns another preparer did?

Yes. Our free 3-year lookback reviews your last three filed returns for missed credits, deductions and errors. If an amendment makes sense, that is a separate paid engagement.

What if I can’t pay what I owe when I file?

File on time anyway: the penalty for not filing is generally much larger than the penalty for not paying. We can then look at payment options such as an IRS payment plan.

How long should I keep my tax records?

The IRS generally recommends keeping records for at least three years after filing, and longer in some situations. The IRS page linked below explains the exceptions.
