Frequently Asked Questions

EAs (Enrolled Agents) and CPAs (Certified Public Accountants) are both knowledgeable tax professionals required to maintain high ethical standards and continuing education. 

The main difference is that EAs are specialized in taxation and are federally licensed by the US Department of Treasury. This is the highest credential issued by the IRS. CPAs are licensed by the state(s) of their choosing, and can be specialized in taxation and much more.

EAs, CPAs, and Attorneys are the only tax professionals with unlimited representation rights, meaning they can represent any client on any matter before the IRS. This is true even if they did not prepare the tax return.

Since EAs are federally licensed, they are recognized in all 50 states.

Although all three credentials can be tax professionals, you know you are getting a tax professional with an EA credential. Again, not all CPAs or Attorneys specialize in taxation. 

First, book a free consultation to determine the package and pricing best suited for you. 

After a price is quoted for the package(s), you will be sent a proposal to electronically sign. Once all the paperwork is done, we start taking care of you! 

The packages are a bundled deal, you will remain in the package and pricing that best suits your needs. No discounts will be calculated on services that you do not take advantage of in your package. 

Professional service prices depend on the complexity of your business or personal financials. After the free consultation and review of your records, a price will be determined based on your unique needs. 

If you’d like to add or remove a bonus service, we will issue a change order proposal for you to sign. The pricing will be readjusted per the change order and your new payment plan will begin on the next payment cycle.

Fixed monthly payment options are available for all packages. For the personal basic and better packages, monthly payments are only accepted during tax season (January-April).

When you sign the proposal to begin services, you will also enter your payment information for automatic monthly payments.

If monthly payments are over $500 a month, then you must do ACH payment. Anything below $500 a month is optional for card or ACH payment.

Yes, it can be and is for most clients! Our firm is located in Nebraska, but we serve multiple states. 

Meetings are held through zoom or phone calls, proposals are sent electronically, and our secure client portal safely shares documents. 

Our goal is to make every service as straightforward and convenient as possible, and being online helps make that happen!

 

No, it sure doesn’t! Being a licensed EA means recognition to represent in all 50 states.

Plus our firm offers fully online services which allows us to help clients all over the United States.

Your multiple businesses will be treated separately. A business package will be determined appropriately for each business.
