We are currently accepting new clients. I reserve the right to place new business clients on extension. All returns are held for review and are not filed “while you wait.” Prices depend on the length of the return (i.e., which forms and schedules are needed). All returns include free e-filing for federal and the first state return.… Read More
In general, March and April are the worst time of year to be searching for a new #taxpro. At Tax Therapy, the needs of existing clients always come first and if I don’t feel that I can provide them the service they deserve, I will not accept new clients mid season, especially new business clients.… Read More
Tax Therapy provides services to individuals and to small and micro businesses. We do not provide bookkeeping services but we can help you find a bookkeeper. At this time we do not file FBAR returns or do other FACTA compliance for those with financial interests outside the U.S. We are happy to provide referrals to… Read More
The government shutdown is over until February 15th. That means that IRS workers will be able to return to work and get paid for it. Of course, already understaffed and overworked, they are now facing a huge backlog of returns when e-filing season officially opens on Monday. The CAF unit (that processes our representative power… Read More
Absolutely. Married filing joint or separate returns can and will be filed for any couples who are legally married (same or different sex). Tax Therapy does not discriminate on the basis of anything: race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, income level, political affiliation. Nothing. The only returns we refuse to file are those for people who refuse… Read More
In a word… The complexity of the tax code and the uniqueness of each client’s circumstances are why I don’t prepare your tax return while you are in the office. When it comes to preparing your tax return I like to have a chance to enter all the data; review the numbers, your situation from last… Read More
I recently “boosted” a post on the Tax Therapy FaceBook Page. This was the first time I ever did that (I have since boosted one more and I’m going to boost this one). Facebook algorithms being what they are, after I boosted the post I started seeing other posts from my colleagues that said exactly… Read More
You know, in general (in marketing terms) I get a pretty good “open” response on the e-mails I send to clients. But that response is often 50-60% which means that many of you aren’t opening or reading my e-mails (and maybe aren’t reading this blog either). In any case, every summer I offer clients a… Read More
A popular brand of DIY software is fond of telling you “It doesn’t take a genius to do your taxes.” At least that’s what they were telling you last year. This year they are telling you about all the “CPAs” they have on staff to help answer your questions. They have enrolled agents too. Don’t… Read More
My post on choosing a #taxpro mentions that price should be a concern, but not the only concern. Still, I recognize that people want to have at least some idea of what they will be charged for return preparation. The problem is that it is extremely difficult to estimate charges without at least seeing last year’s… Read More
