We focus on federal returns. For state and local filing, we work with vetted partners in every state to complete your city and state taxes — see our state partner program.

We publish fixed prices by return type, with an early-filer discount and a no-meeting option — see our full price list in the FAQ. And if cash is tight: pay $0 today with pay from your refund (our fee comes out when your refund arrives, plus a small bank fee), or ask about a 0% refund advance of up to $1,000 from our partner bank, often funded within a day or two of IRS acceptance, no interest, no fee, subject to approval. Paying now is always an option too — no bank fee, full refund straight to you. See full details and disclosures on our Pay From Your Refund page.

How do we make money?
We earn the preparation fee listed above, and we never sell your tax return information. Optional pay-from-your-refund carries the partner bank's own fee, shown before you choose it. Prices are confirmed at booking and in your engagement letter. Questions on what is included? See the FAQ.
Speed from automation, judgment from people
One 30-minute meeting
Our systems read your documents, ask follow-up questions, and prepare a draft return before you ever get on a call. Your meeting is for review, questions, and sign-off — not data entry.
A real preparer signs every return
A credentialed human preparer reviews and signs every return before it's filed. Our systems prepare drafts; they never file a return on their own.
One secure place for your data
Client documents and tax information live only in a dedicated, secure AWS system built specifically to hold them — never on this public website or its servers.
We stay with you after you file
Our aim is to make next year's filing easier than this year's. We plan to check in throughout the year with reminders and recommendations — what receipts and documents to keep, and how to organize them — so when next season arrives, you're not starting from scratch.
Document storage, built in
We're planning the ability to upload photos of receipts and documents to your own portal throughout the year as they come in, instead of hunting for them all at once next tax season.
Proactive recommendations
Based on your situation, we aim to flag what to track and what might change your filing next year — before it's a last-minute scramble.
