Personal Tax Preparation
Reviewed by our office. Updated July 2026.
Who this is for
Employees with W-2 income, standard deductions, dependents, or straightforward filing needs who want a real person handling their return without the runaround.
Why this matters
Even "simple" returns get errors when filers guess. A human review catches missed credits, wrong filing status, and small mistakes that delay refunds.

We route you to the right path, build your document checklist, organize your file, and a preparer completes and reviews your return, with status updates the whole way.
Documents you’ll likely need
- Photo ID
- Social Security cards for you and dependents
- All W-2s
- Any 1099s
- Prior-year return (new clients)

Pricing
Simple W-2 returns start at $50. Returns with credits or extra forms are quoted after a quick review.
Final pricing depends on forms, schedules, state filings, income types, document condition, and review complexity. We never base our fee on the size of your refund. Quotes are not final until documents are reviewed.
FAQ

How fast is it?
Turnaround depends on document completeness and IRS processing. We keep you updated at each stage.
