Frequently Asked Questions

How much does tax preparation cost?

Every service has a clear starting price listed on our Services page. Your exact quote depends on your specific situation — we review your documents and confirm your final price in writing before any work begins, so there are never surprises on your bill.

What is an Enrolled Agent, and how is that different from a CPA?

An Enrolled Agent (EA) is licensed directly by the IRS and specializes exclusively in taxation, with the right to represent clients before the IRS in all 50 states. A CPA is licensed by a state board and often covers a broader range of accounting and financial services. For most individual and small business tax needs, an EA brings focused, federally-recognized tax expertise.

I got a letter from the IRS — what should I do?

Don’t ignore it, but don’t panic either. Most notices are routine and have a clear, manageable next step. Our IRS Notice Decoder service explains exactly what your letter means and what (if anything) you need to do next.

Do you file taxes for small businesses and self-employed people?

Yes — we regularly work with freelancers, contractors, and small business owners filing Schedule C, and we also offer a dedicated Solopreneur Startup Tax Setup service for new business owners.

What documents do I need to bring?

It depends on your situation, but generally: W-2s or 1099s, last year’s tax return, photo ID, and any documents related to deductions (mortgage interest, charitable donations, business expenses). We’ll give you a specific checklist after your consultation.

Do you offer virtual or remote tax preparation?

Yes — documents are uploaded securely through our online client portal, so you can work with us from anywhere, not just North Richland Hills.

How long does it take to get my return done?

Most individual returns are completed within a few business days of receiving your full documents and confirming your quote. Self-employed and more complex returns typically take a bit longer — we’ll always give you a specific estimate.

What areas do you serve?

We’re based in North Richland Hills, TX, and serve clients throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area — plus anywhere in the U.S. through our secure online process.
