Tax Preparation & Resolution

Whatever your tax situation looks like,
we file it.

One intake gets you started on any of these — we’ll confirm exactly what you need on your call.

📄

Individual & Family Returns

W-2 income, dependents, education credits, Earned Income and Child Tax Credits — every credit you qualify for, claimed correctly.

W-2 · Families
🚗

Self-Employed & Gig Workers

1099 income, rideshare and delivery, creators, side hustles — with the expenses and mileage that lower what you owe.

1099 · Schedule C
🏢

Small Business Returns

Sole props, LLCs, and small business filings, backed by QuickBooks expertise so your books and your return actually match.

LLCs · Owners
📅

Prior-Year & Unfiled Returns

Missed a year — or a few? We file multi-year and delinquent returns and get you back into compliance without judgment.

Back Taxes
✏️

Amended Returns

A missed form, the wrong filing status, or a credit you didn’t claim? We correct it with an amended return.

Corrections
⚖️

IRS Letters & Tax Debt

Balance-due notices, CP2000s, levy threats — we respond, set up payment options, and work toward resolution.

Notices · Resolution

New This Season

The tax rules changed.
Your return should too.

Recent federal tax law added new deductions for a lot of everyday workers. If any of these apply to you, they belong on your 2026 return — and software alone won’t always catch them.

Tips

A new deduction for qualified tip income in eligible occupations.

Overtime

A new deduction for qualified overtime pay.

Car Loan Interest

A deduction for interest on qualifying new personal vehicle loans.

Age 65+

An additional deduction for qualifying seniors.

Income limits and eligibility rules apply. We’ll review your situation on your call — general information, not tax advice.

  3. Review togetherWe prepare, run quality review, and walk you through it before anything is filed.

Document Checklist

What to gather for your appointment.

Start a folder now and drop forms in as they arrive in January. You’ll get a personalized list after your intake — this covers most returns.

About You

  • Photo ID for you (and spouse, if filing jointly)
  • Social Security cards or ITINs for everyone on the return
  • Last year’s tax return
  • IRS Identity Protection PIN, if you have one
  • Bank routing & account number for direct deposit

Income

  • W-2s from every employer
  • 1099-NEC / 1099-K / 1099-MISC for contract and gig work
  • 1099-G (unemployment), SSA-1099, 1099-R
  • 1099-INT / 1099-DIV / 1099-B for interest and investments

  • Business expenses and mileage log
  • Any IRS or state letters you received
Start My Tax Intake

Paying for Your Return

Two ways to pay. Your choice.

You’ll get a clear quote after we review your intake — before any work begins.

Pay Upfront

Pay when your return is ready

Pay your prep fee directly and keep bank processing fees off your refund. The simplest option if you owe, or if you want your full refund deposited.

Pay With Return

Nothing out of pocket today

Have your prep fee taken out of your refund through a refund transfer with our bank partner. It is not a loan; the bank charges its own processing fees, which we’ll disclose before you file.

Free Tool

Got a letter from the IRS?

Don’t ignore it. Drop in a few details and get a draft response letter in seconds — then let us take it from there if it’s more than a simple fix.

We’ll send occasional tax season reminders. Unsubscribe anytime.

🔒Enter your email to unlock the draft letter generator.

A general-purpose draft only — not tax or legal advice and not a guarantee of any IRS outcome. Review carefully; for anything beyond a simple notice, MBA’s tax resolution service can help directly.

Tax Season Questions

Frequently asked.

Why start my intake now if I can’t file until January?

Because January gets busy fast. Completing your intake now gets you on the calendar, gives you your personal document list ahead of time, and means your return can be ready to transmit as soon as the IRS opens e-filing.

When will I get my refund?

The IRS issues most e-filed refunds with direct deposit within about 21 days of acceptance. By law, refunds that include the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit can’t be released before mid-February, so those typically arrive in late February or early March. We’ll keep you updated on your status.

How much does tax preparation cost?

It depends on what’s on your return — a single W-2 is different from a small business with several 1099s. After you submit your intake, we’ll give you a clear quote before any work begins. You can pay upfront or have your fee taken from your refund.

Do I need to come in person?

No. Everything is handled virtually — intake, secure document upload, review call, and e-signature — so we can serve clients anywhere in the United States.

I haven’t filed in a few years. Can you still help?

Yes. We file prior-year and delinquent returns regularly and can help with any balances or IRS letters that came with them. Mention it on your intake so we can plan the right order to file.

Is my personal information safe?

We follow a written information security plan, collect documents only through secure channels, and never accept tax documents through social media messages.
