New customer offer: Sign up to build your balance due plan with us, and if you're a W-2 filer who hasn't filed your 2025 return, we'll prepare it for you at no charge. Have a more complex return? You'll still receive a discount on tax preparation.
You knew in April, when you filed the extension instead of the return. You knew on the 1099 when nothing got taken out of a single check. You knew when the deadline passed and you didn't file at all. Here's what most people never hear. The the amount you owe isn't necessarily the amount you have to pay. Your ability to pay, or lack thereof matters. And our tax attorneys and enrolled agents know how to make sure you are only charged what you can afford.
Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart — 1099-K and 1099-NEC income with no withholding and mileage that's easy to under-track.
Consultants, designers, developers, and tradespeople billing on 1099s who owe quarterly estimates most years — and this year fell behind.
Running the books yourself, self-employment tax on top of income tax, and a balance that grew faster than expected.
Not enough withheld from a paycheck, bonus, pension or dividends — or an early withdrawal from a 401(k) or IRA that came with a bigger tax hit than expected.
