GET READY FOR YOUR RETURN

A good return starts with good records.

1

Schedule your appointment

Tell us whether you need business, personal, nonprofit, trust, or estate return preparation.

2

Complete your paperwork

We require a signed intake form and signed engagement letter for every tax return.

3

Send records securely

Use SmartVault for income documents, supporting records, prior returns, and any tax notices.

Check my federal refund — IRS ↗

Include complete, current bank information on your client intake/drop-off form: bank name, routing number, account number, and whether the account is checking or savings. Verify every number for direct deposit. The IRS has generally stopped mailing paper refund checks for individual taxpayers, with limited exceptions; missing or incorrect bank information can delay your refund. If you do not have a bank account, tell ASY so we can discuss available options. Submit banking details through SmartVault or on your form at drop-off.

Forms and tax organizers →

Before we e-file, all required parties must sign the return authorization and payment must be complete. ASY cannot submit your tax return electronically until both steps are finished.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ASY CLIENTS

Protect your tax identity
with an ID PIN.

ASY highly recommends obtaining an IRS Identity Protection PIN. Include your spouse and dependents in your planning, too.

Our ID PIN guide explains enrollment, dependent protection, annual PINs, and secure delivery to ASY.

CATCHING UP ON PAST TAXES

Past-due returns? Let’s get started.

ASY prepares prior-year tax returns. We prefer an IRS Wage and Income Transcript for each year to help check for missing tax documents, along with your own records and any IRS notices. Transcripts may not include every document or detail needed, so bring all available records.

A $100 retainer is required for each tax year being prepared. Bookkeeping cleanup and/or totaling receipts is billed at $125 per hour.

Tax preparation questions.

Do you prepare personal returns?

Yes. Although ASY specializes in small businesses, we also prepare personal income tax returns.

Can you prepare prior-year returns or amendments?

Yes. For prior-year returns, we prefer an IRS Wage and Income Transcript for each year to help check for missing tax documents. A $100 retainer is required per tax year. Bookkeeping cleanup and/or totaling receipts is billed at $125 per hour. Contact ASY to discuss the years, records, and any amendments needed.

How will I receive my completed return?

Final tax returns default to a digital copy in SmartVault. If you want a paper copy, specifically check that option on your client intake form. Paper copies are available at no additional fee; contact the front desk to arrange pickup. If your local return needs to be mailed, you are responsible for mailing it as instructed.

STARTING SOMETHING NEW?

ASY can help set up LLCs, S corporations, and nonprofit organizations. Tell us what you’re planning, and we’ll discuss the setup process and the accounting and tax support you’ll need.
