Online Tax Service

At BTS we are form based so our fees are based on the complexity of your return and number

of forms we need to use to maximize your refund or lessen the amount due. It is almost

impossible to give an exact quote without seeing your information. View our current Pricing page for current averages and any discounts offered.

Once we receive ALL your tax documents your tax return is appointed to a tax specialist. From this point, depending on the complexity of your tax return and amount of those who have submitted their tax documents prior to yours, the time frame ranges from 1 day turn around up to 10 days. This is due to always taking the time to review for any additional tax advantages that might help you save more or receive a bigger tax refund.

Thank you for asking! We specialize in filing past tax returns. You can receive a refund, if due,

up to three years in the past. However, if you owe the IRS money, please file to stop the “late

file” penalty. It is very simple to set up a payment plan on the IRS website. States also have

similar options

If you have refunds due to you, there are no penalties from the IRS or your state. However if

you will owe taxes then you will have a late file penalty, a late pay penalty and accruing interest

charges from the IRS and state.

If you received unemployment you should file taxes even if you had withholdings taken from

your unemployment payments as this is counted as income on your tax return

Taxpayers should gather Forms W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, Forms 1099-MISC,

Miscellaneous Income, and other income documents to help determine if they're eligible for

deductions or credits. They'll also need their Notice 1444, Your Economic Impact Payment, to

calculate any Recovery Rebate Credit they may be eligible for on their 2020 Federal income

tax return.

Most income is taxable, including unemployment compensation, refund interest and income

from the gig economy and virtual currencies.

We also will review student loan interest statements, education expenses, child care as

examples

In addition we will need a copy of your current driver’s license or a recognized form of

identification

If you have a refund due we will ask for your deposit information which would be your routing

number and checking/savings account number

If you are claiming dependents, we will need a copy of their social security card

If you have filed with us in the past and we have this information, then we do not need a new

copy

To quote the IRS: Expect delays if you mailed a paper return or had to respond to an IRS

inquiry about your e-filed return. You should only call if it has been:

•  21 days or more since you e-filed
• Where's My Refund tells you to contact the IRS

By law, the IRS cannot issue refunds for people claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or

Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February. The law requires the IRS to hold the entire

refund − even the portion not associated with EITC or ACTC. The IRS expects most EITC/ACTC related

refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards by the first week of March, if they

chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return.

Taxpayers should use Where's My Refund? for their personalized refund date.

You will need your name, social security number, filing status and amount of refund due.

If you are looking for the status of your state refund, each state has their own web site

We do have a bank we work with to have your fees paid to us through your return. There is a

nominal fee for this service the bank charges, and that changes annually. We can refund your

money to your checking account direct deposit, to a debit card or we can print a check in our

office. The check printing in our office is only available through our bank products.
