How do I meet with my tax professional?
We use Zoom videoconference technology which is easy and intuitive. Clients can schedule a meeting with their tax professional from our team page. We’re also a phone call or email away.
How do I get my return?
After you meet with your tax professional who will review the outcome of your return, we will deliver it to you electronically. You can download it and sign your efile authorization forms as well as pay your tax preparation fee electronically. We can also publish your tax return to your secure private portal. Enjoy all these conveniences from the comfort of wherever you are.
We also have a brick-and-mortar office located in Dyer, Indiana. You’re always welcome to visit, but nearly all professional staff work remotely.
What credentials do your professionals have?
All of our tax professionals are either CPAs (Certified Public Accountants) or EAs (Enrolled Agents) or both. This means that we can represent clients on any matters with the IRS or state taxing authorities. Our tax professionals average 20 years’ experience.
What is your quality assurance process?
All tax returns are prepared by a credentialed professional following a detailed checklist. Upon completion of the tax return, the preparer completes their own review, and then submits it to a credentialed tax reviewer who completes a second review. This process helps ensure not only accuracy, but more importantly, optimal tax outcomes.
Do you keep copies of my tax documents (i.e., W2s, 1099s)?
Yes, we keep a digital copy of all your tax documents. We retain these on file for 5 years. We can publish them to your portal, or email them to you secure encrypted. If you need, for example, a W2 from 2 years ago for a mortgage refinance, we can provide that to you.
What if I have correspondence from the IRS?
We can help. If you get correspondence from the IRS or a state taxing authority, or if you get audited, all our professionals are qualified to represent clients in such matters. We can do Offer-In-Compromise settlements, review IRS transcripts and prior year returns, and communicate with the IRS/taxing authority on your behalf to get you the best outcome.
Can you help me with tax planning and financial planning?
Yes! We are excellent at tax planning, and have in-house financial planning services via Gineris Wealth Management. We can help you set up educational and retirement savings plans, and help you optimize both tax and wealth outcomes.
