Here’s how I work:

1) I sign a confidentiality agreement and quote you the appropriate fee, you sign an engagement letter.
2) I send you a comprehensive but straightforward questionnaire. You respond with relevant info and copies of documents as requested on questionnaire.
3) I assemble your tax return and contact you with follow-up questions. You can expect that I will be carefully reviewing all documents and comparing them to the previous year. Sometimes, I may be able to provide some tax planning considerations for either the current or future tax periods.
4) I obtain payment from you for my services (check or cash), and provide a copy of your return, along with originals of all submitted documents. I will also obtain your signature(s) for the paper file copies of the returns (not e-filing this year, sorry), and provide current year and 2011 estimated payment vouchers if there is a tax liability (up to you to mail with payment by the respective deadlines).
5) Once my payment has been validated, I will sign and mail the paper returns.
