How can I check the status of my refund?


Why is my refund less than I expected?

Many factors can contribute to why your refund is less than you expected. You have to consider the three elements that define a refund: your taxable income, the amount withheld from your paycheck for federal and state taxes, and your tax rate. If you aren’t getting as much money back try to look on the bright side – you didn’t give the IRS a zero-interest loan.


What if I owe taxes and can’t pay?

We encourage you to still file; we can set up a payment plan for you at the time of filing your taxes. This will allow you to make monthly payments that are within your budget.


What if I have not filed in several years or have current issues with IRS?

We can assist you in filing previous years taxes. We can help to file amendments to previously filed returns and offer assistance to work out a plan to get a resolution.
