FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is an Enrolled Agent?
An Enrolled Agent is an individual who is licensed by the Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. That means that an Enrolled Agent can not only prepare your return, but can also meet with IRS for you in case of an audit. Unlike CPA's who arelicensed by state, EA's are Federally licensed and can practice anywhere in the US.
2. Why Can't I Do My Own Return On The Computer?
You can. You can also walk from Baltimore to New York, but it certainly is not the fastest, most efficient way to get there. A computer program can only record what you tell it; while our expert preparers can suggest tax saving deductions that you never thought of.
3. What is E- File?
E-File simply saves you the time and expense of mailing your return to IRS. We transmit your finished return directly from our computer to IRS's computer, thus saving postage fees and ensuring that IRS receives your return.
4. Where Can I Get Tax Forms?
Banks and post offices seldom provide blank tax forms anymore. Your best bet is to visit the nearest IRS office or visit the IRS website at www. IRS.gov and click on "forms and publications". Of course you can always come to our Glen Burnie office. We have 'em all.
5. How Much Do You Charge?
Our fees are based on the complexity of the return, not on your income. We have no" minimum" fee, like many CPA firms. Our fee for the most basic return,i.e, Federal, Maryland state, standard deduction, and E-File is $100. Of course the more schedules you have,i.e. itemized deductions, child care, rental properties,etc, the higher our fees. Our average fee is about $185.
