Procedure for individual tax returns:

1.     Fill out all relevant worksheets in my Excel-based questionnaire.  Email this to me along with any U.S. tax documents you received, such as W-2's, 1099's, 1098's, etc.  If you're a new client, also email me a copy of last year's tax return.  Alternatively, you can provide these items through other digital means.

2.     The return is prepared. Any outstanding issues or questions are resolved, usually by email. A "Return Ready" email is sent to you when the return is complete.

3.     Fee payment:  You can securely pay here by credit card or Paypal.  Other options are listed on the Fee Payment page.

4.     Review of tax return:  Once payment is made, your return is emailed to you to review and approve.

5.     Filing of tax return:  E-file authorization forms will be emailed to you to sign, and then email back. If a paper filing is necessary, the final return will be emailed to you with instructions for printing, signing & mailing.
