Before you file
Start a folder in January, not April
The single biggest cause of a delayed return is a form that arrived in February and went in a drawer.

Taxpayer education

A refund is not a bonus
It is your own money coming back. A large refund every year may mean your withholding needs adjusting.
After filing
A letter from the IRS is usually routine
Most notices are a mismatch that one response resolves. Do not ignore it, and do not panic. Bring it to us.
Who prepares your return
You will always know the name and qualifications of the person handling your information, and you can check any preparer's credentials yourself in the IRS public directory.

Common questions
When will I know what it costs?
Before any work starts. If something changes the scope, we tell you and ask for your approval first.
Can I email my W-2 or tax documents?
Please do not. Ordinary email is not a secure way to send tax documents. Use the client portal.
What if I disagree with something on my return?
Tell us before you approve it. Nothing is filed until you are satisfied and have signed the authorization.
How will CRJ contact me?
Through the client portal, by email from our official address, or by phone from our office number. We will never ask for your password.
Ready to get started?
Tell us what you need. We will reply with the process and a fee estimate, usually the same business day.
