- Letters from the IRS or the state (if any)

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much do your services cost?

It depends on how complex your return is. I quote the price after a short consultation — before any work begins, with no hidden fees.

Can everything be done online?

Yes. A video consultation, online document exchange and an e-signature — no visit needed.

When is the filing deadline?

Usually April 15. You can file an extension until October 15, but any tax owed is still due by the April deadline.

How fast will I get my refund?

After e-filing, the IRS usually issues refunds within 21 days, unless the return needs extra review.

Do you work with clients outside Chicago?

Yes, online across all of Illinois. In-person meetings are in Chicago by appointment.
