Common questions
Do I have to visit an office in Washington?
No. We work with Washington clients 100% online. You upload documents to your secure portal, talk with us by phone, text or video, and sign electronically.
Do I need to file a District of Columbia state return?
District of Columbia taxes wages, so most residents file a District of Columbia return with the DC Office of Tax and Revenue along with their federal return. We prepare both together and make sure the numbers match. Moved during the year or worked in another state? Tell us in your intake and we'll file every return you need.
How much does tax preparation cost in Washington?
We price by the forms your return actually needs instead of a one-size flat rate. You'll see an itemized fee and approve it before we file. There's never a surprise charge.
How fast will I get my refund?
Most e-filed returns with direct deposit are processed by the IRS within about 21 days of acceptance. Returns that claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit can't be refunded before mid-February by law. We'll tell you the day the IRS accepts your return.
Can you help if the IRS sent me a letter or took my refund?
Yes. We help with IRS notices, refund offsets, injured spouse claims and tax identity theft. Send us a photo of the letter in your portal and we'll explain what it means and what to do next.
