Frequently Asked Questions

A Few Things You May Be Wondering

Tax situations are different. Here are answers to some of the questions clients ask most often.

What is included in my tax preparation fee?
Your engagement includes professional preparation and review of the federal and applicable state tax returns included in your agreed scope, along with electronic filing when eligible. Your exact scope and fee are confirmed before work begins.
Why do some services say β€œStarting at”?
Self-employed, business, and cannabis tax situations can vary considerably. Factors such as multiple businesses, additional states, incomplete records, specialized reporting, or additional entities may increase the amount of work required. We confirm your fee before beginning the engagement.
How long will my tax return take?
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of your return, the time of year, and whether all requested information has been provided. Once we have a complete file, we will keep you informed throughout the preparation process.
How do I send my tax documents securely?
After your engagement begins, you will receive access to our secure client portal where you can complete your organizer, upload requested documents, and communicate with our office.
How long will I have access to my completed tax documents?
After your engagement is completed, your final tax documents will be made available through our secure ShareFile system for one year. James Wilder & Associates retains engagement records internally for seven years in accordance with our record-retention policy. Clients are encouraged to download and maintain copies of their completed tax returns and supporting records.
What happens if I receive an IRS or state tax notice?
Contact us before responding. We will review the notice, explain what it means in plain language, and recommend the appropriate next step. Additional representation or correspondence may require a separate engagement depending on the issue.
What is Protection Plus?
Qualifying tax preparation clients receive access to Protection Plus benefits as part of their engagement, including tax defense services, protection for qualifying preparer errors, and identity theft restoration services. Benefits are subject to eligibility, program terms, limitations, exclusions, and availability.
Do you offer Veteran or senior discounts?
Yes. Veterans and clients age 65 or older receive a 15% discount on qualifying tax preparation services after verification.
