Questions
What does FileMax Tax do?
FileMax Tax is a matching service. You tell us about your tax situation and upload your forms, and we match you with a licensed tax preparer (CPA, Enrolled Agent or PTIN holder) who prepares and files your return. We don't prepare returns ourselves and we don't give tax advice.
What documents do I need?
Usually your W-2 and/or 1099 forms, a photo ID, Social Security numbers for you and your dependents, and bank details for direct deposit. If you're self-employed, add your income and expense records. Last year's return helps too.
How much does it cost?
Matching is free. Your preparer gives you a quote before any work starts, and you decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to go to an office?
No. Everything happens online, from your phone or computer, in all 50 states. There are no offices to visit.
