I need this year's tax return done

A return should be the calm part of the year. Yours is prepared from your documents and from the IRS's own record of you, read first for refunds you can still claim and income your return would otherwise miss.

Opens our secure client portal, run by TaxDome: one question, about five minutes, nothing to pay. Or call Karigan at (443) 390-5488, Monday to Saturday, 9 to 6 Eastern.

What happens next

  1. 1

    You start, or you call

    Karigan calls you back within one business day and sends your engagement letter and IRS authorization to your portal the same day.

  2. 2

    Documents in, records in

    You upload your documents through the portal, never by email or text. Once you've signed, we pull your IRS records and check them against what you have.

  3. 3

    Quoted, then filed

    Your return is quoted at $400 to $850 once your documents and records are in, and paid before it is filed. You get a text when James starts and when it's ready to sign.

A business return is quoted once your documents are in. Documents not complete by March 20 mean an extension, unless you choose Priority Filing: a flat fee stated on your engagement letter, available when there is room, refunded if we extend anyway.

Questions people ask

Why pull my IRS records for a simple return?

Because the IRS already has a copy of most of your documents, and the mismatches are where the surprises come from. Reading their record first is how nothing gets missed.

Could the Stewardship Plan make more sense?

If you’d like your return, a fall projection, monitoring of your IRS account, and a Retirement Tax Picture for one yearly price, yes. Karigan can lay both options beside each other on the call.
