Our typical processing time is up to three business days. We prioritize quality over speed, ensuring that every tax return is meticulously prepared. Unlike other firms, our approach involves collaboration; each preparer at Covering Taxes (whether EA or CPA) works closely with a supervising CPA or EA. This dual-review process guarantees that your return is prepared accurately and in the most advantageous manner for you.

Absolutely. Your tax return will not be filed until you have reviewed and approved it. During the preparation process, we will ask for your feedback, including any questions or changes you might have. We will address each of your inquiries and make the necessary adjustments until you are satisfied with the outcome, ensuring that all tax positions comply with the Internal Revenue Code.

We prioritize e-filing your tax return whenever possible and will provide a confirmation document once it’s done. However, in some instances, the IRS may require a physical submission with a wet signature. If this situation arises, we will supply you with detailed instructions on how to mail your return to the IRS.

Yes, we fully support the work we do. If the IRS ever questions a return we’ve prepared, we will review their correspondence and advise you on the appropriate course of action.

Specifically:

• Error on Our Part: If we made an error on your return, we will file an amended return at no additional cost. This scenario is exceedingly rare.
• Correct Return, IRS Questions: If the return is accurate but the IRS has questions, we will guide you on the simplest way to address their inquiry, which may involve a phone call or a written response.
• Client-Provided Information Issues: If the IRS disputes the figures you provided (e.g., omitted income from stock sales), we can prepare an amended return for you. This service would be chargeable as the initial information provided was incorrect.
