Our business hours during tax season are:

• Monday – Friday 8:30 AM – 6:30 PM
• Saturday 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

New client appointments take 30-60 minutes and are recommended ahead of time. Prior clients also have the option of using our drop-off service or working with us remotely. Tax filing season opens officially on January 27th, which is the first day that the IRS will accept electronic filing. We can prepare returns before that date but can’t send them until the 27th.

Amended returns can now also be electronically filed, and we can amend federal and state tax returns from 2021-2023. 2021 returns, however, must be mailed, and after April 15th no refunds will be given by the IRS for that year.
