Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take for you to prepare and file my tax return? +

Preparation time depends on the complexity of the return. Providing all relevant records at the outset can minimize delays. Generally, set up your appointment several weeks before the IRS deadline for timely filing.

Is e-filing my tax return safe? +

Yes, as long as you are careful about how you do it. Reputable electronic filing platforms encrypt tax returns so that only the IRS may access the information on them. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for transmitting tax forms; use a VPN if necessary.

What should I do if I cannot pay the full amount of tax I owe by the deadline? +

Stay calm, pay as much as possible immediately, determine a manageable monthly payment plan, and submit the installment proposal to the IRS. This approach minimizes penalties and interest.

How long will it take to get my IRS refund? +

For electronic filings, refunds are typically issued within 21 days after acceptance. Paper filings may take six weeks or more. Direct deposit speeds up receipt of refunds compared to mailed checks.

Can a person qualify for more than one tax filing status? +

Yes. For example, married couples can file jointly or separately, and unmarried individuals with dependents may choose single or head of household status. The IRS allows the filing status that results in the least total tax.

Does an automatic 6-month IRS filing extension give me more time to pay my taxes? +

No. The extension only provides extra time to file the return. Payment of the tax owed is still due by the standard deadline; otherwise, penalties and interest may apply. Include an estimated payment with the extension request to avoid additional fees.

I have heard that if I do not owe any tax, I don't have to file a return. Is that true? +

Only in certain cases. If your income is below the standard deduction, you may not need to file. However, if your income exceeds the threshold but you have deductions or credits that reduce your tax to zero, you must still file to claim any refund. Filing is also required if the IRS owes you a refund.
