Tax Organizer:

AdminBooks provides organizers (a list of yes and no questions) to help you gather all your information. Think of this document as a checklist. You can work on it a little at a time, saving your information as you go. Then, when you are ready, you can submit the answers to us securely online!

Our Unique Technology:

Because AdminBooks is cloud-based, we serve clients all over the USA. Using technology to communicate and support you in many ways, you can securely upload your documents to your client portal.

Our tax team reviews your documents and begins data entry, asking you questions during the process. When it’s time to finalize your return, you can schedule a web-based screen-sharing meeting where AdminBooks will review the return line-by-line and answer any questions you may have.

E-file authorization forms are sent securely through Docusign, and finalized returns are uploaded to your secure portal within 3 days of e-filing.

Timing of Documentation:

As you can imagine, the weeks leading up to the tax deadline are very busy for us. We operate on a first-in/first-out basis. If you give us your information on February 1st, it will probably take 2-4 weeks to complete.

If you give us your information on March 1st, we will need 4+ weeks to complete your return.

If you give us your information on April 1st, we will need to file an extension on your behalf and complete the return after the tax deadline.

Tax Planning & Consulting:

We all like surprises, but not when it comes to tax returns. Planning ahead gives taxpayers the power to make choices. With managing withholdings, knowing profits in business, purchasing fixed assets or paying out bonuses, you can control the outcome of your situation.

For the most cost effective solution, we recommend purchasing our Premium Support tax package, which will provide you with quarterly tax check-in meetings and an annual tax projection.
