Common questions
I got a letter from the IRS. Should I panic?
No. Many notices are routine and have a response window. Do not ignore it. Send us a photo of the letter through Get Support and we will explain what it says and what to do next.
I have not filed in a few years. Is it too late?
It is not too late to start. Filing sooner generally limits how much penalty and interest add up. We will map out the missing years and the order to tackle them.
Do I need to make quarterly payments?
Often, if you earn money that has no tax withheld, such as freelance income, rent, or investment gains. We can estimate what to set aside so the payments stop feeling like ambushes.
How do I send my documents safely?
Please do not email sensitive documents. After you contact us, we will send instructions for a secure upload.
Do you handle final returns for someone who has passed away?
Yes. It is a delicate job and we treat it that way. Reach out and we will explain what is required and what we need from the family or executor.
Still have a question? Ask a human.
