Tax Filing & Preparation

Yes. You can file using an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), and we can help you apply for one at the same time.

The federal deadline is usually April 15. If you cannot file on time, we can help you request an extension.

Yes. We can prepare returns for past years so you are caught up, which also helps with immigration and sponsorship cases.

Our fee depends on which forms your return needs, so it is one of the few things we do not publish a single price for. We work it out with you at your free consultation and tell you the amount before we start.

No. We explain your forms, your refund and your return in Bangla or Sylheti, and we translate any letter the IRS or the State of Michigan sends you.

The IRS usually sends an e-filed refund by direct deposit in about three weeks, though some returns take longer. We set up direct deposit for you and show you how to check the status yourself.

We will not prepare a return that way, and if we find out afterwards that what we were given was untrue, we stop work. Beyond that, the return is the one you sign. The IRS matches what you file against what employers, banks and payment platforms report to it, so cash work, a 1099 you forgot, or a dependent somebody else has already claimed tends to surface on its own, sometimes years later. What follows is the IRS deciding, not us: tax to repay with interest, a penalty, a refund taken back, or a closer look at earlier years. We prepare your return only from what you give us and we cannot know what you have not told us, so that outcome is not something we can undo or be responsible for, and our terms say so. Tell us the awkward thing while we are preparing the return. There is often a legitimate way to handle it that you did not know about.
