Questions
When can I get my return done?
We start preparing 2026 returns in late January 2027, when the IRS opens e-filing. Reserve now and you're on the list in the order you asked. The federal and New Jersey deadline is April 15, 2027.
How much will my return cost?
The table shows starting prices. We confirm the price for your return after a short look at your situation, before any work starts, and you approve it before you pay.
Do you charge a percentage of my refund?
No. Fees are flat and never depend on the size of your refund.
How do I send my documents?
Through a secure upload link we email after we confirm your spot. Please don't email tax documents or Social Security numbers.

Trusts and estates, nonprofit returns, foreign-asset reporting such as FBAR and Form 5471, and anyone with an open IRS criminal matter. We'll point you to a CPA or attorney for those.
