Benefits
- Appointments: April likes to meet her clients so the first year, she prefers that you make an appointment and sit down with her to have your taxes prepared. However, one of the services she offers is that in future years, you do not need to make an appointment. Life can be busy so you can mail, fax, e-mail, drop-off, or secure upload your tax documents and April will prepare them, e-file, and get them back to you. Repeat clients are asked to reserve appointment times for new clients whenever possible. You can make a brief consultation appointment for drop-off if your circumstances have changed, but your taxes will not be prepared while you wait unless you pay a premium. Set an appointment now .
- Your Copies: April scans and stores all of the original tax documents that you bring her to prepare your taxes. The first reason this is done is so that in the event you call with questions, she knows where she got the numbers. The second reason is that she provides a free copy service. You can contact April at any time to provide you with a physical, fax, or electronic copy of any document she has of yours free of charge. All originals are always returned to you. In an effort to be more environmentally conscious, April prepares your copies of your tax return and all original tax information documents in electronic format (.pdf) and saves it to a USB drive for your records. If you would like to have the tax return printed, you may request this for a small fee to cover the cost of printing. If all preparation was done electronically, your final copies will be uploaded to your secure portal for you to download. Make sure you download your copy as the portal items will expire.
- e-File: Yes, April is an authorized e-File provider with the IRS. e-File is included with every tax preparation.
- What to bring: Need to know what to bring? No problem! Download April’s Tax Documents List of items you need to bring with you.
- First Visit: If you are a new client, please fill out my New Taxpayer Questionnaire or you can download a PDF version and fill it out ahead of time.
- Engagement Terms: All clients should review and sign a copy of my Terms of Engagement Letter document (ask me about this when you fill out the questionnaire and you can sign electronically via SignNow before we begin preparation).
- Self-Employed: You can also download a Schedule C Spreadsheet if you run your own business so you know what extra information needs to be provided. NOTE: If you have other business structures that you need me to file for, please visit my Tax Preparation for Businesses page.
