w2-photo.jpgHere’s my W-2
Thanks. Did anything change this year? New baby, move, college?
We had a baby in March
Congrats. That changes a few things in your favor. On it.
Who it’s for
You have a job. Let taxes be ours.
Whatever your return looks like, you shouldn’t have to become an expert to file it.
W-2 employees
One job or three. We make sure your withholding and credits line up.
Families
Kids, childcare, and dependents come with credits worth thousands.
Homeowners
Mortgage interest, property taxes, and energy upgrades, checked.
Investors and crypto
Cost basis, capital losses, and every 1099-B, reconciled.
Retirees

What DIY software often misses
Software asks the questions. It doesn’t know the answers.
DIY software only finds what you know to tell it. Our AI checks your situation against decades of tax data, and a tax pro looks for the things people don’t think to mention.

How this estimate works and what it leaves out
We estimate your federal tax bracket from your income and filing status using approximate 2025 brackets and standard deductions. Deductions are valued at that bracket rate, plus self-employment tax where it applies. Credits are counted at typical illustrative amounts.
For businesses that aren’t S-corps yet, we compare self-employment tax with payroll tax on an assumed reasonable salary and subtract an estimated yearly cost of running payroll.
It leaves out state taxes, phase-outs beyond rough income limits, itemizing versus the standard deduction, and everything specific to you. It’s a starting point for a conversation, not a promise of a refund.

Questions
Asked and answered.
I just have a W-2. Is this worth it for me?
Often, yes. Simple returns still miss things: education credits, retirement saver’s credits, state-specific breaks, and deductions from life changes like a move or a new baby. And even if your return really is simple, you still get it done without doing it.
Can you handle my side income too?
Yes. Gig apps, freelance work, resale, rentals, and content income all get reviewed, including the expenses you can write off against them.
What if I already filed with TurboTax?
Send us last year’s return. If something was missed, we can amend it and you may be owed money back.
How fast is it?
Your part takes minutes. Once we have your documents and answers, most individual returns are ready for your review quickly, and we’ll text you the moment yours is.
