FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do I bring to my appointment?
For your tax appointment, you should bring any documents or tax forms that were received from employers or other agencies (e.g., Form W-2, Form 1099 MISC, Form 1099-DIV, Form 1099-INT, Form 1098, etc.). Additionally, if you are self-employed, bring a copy of your year-end income statement and balance sheet. If those items are not available, please bring bank statements and receipts so our team can assist you in generating your financial statements. Finally, if you have additional documentation that may corroborate your financial statements, please feel free to bring that information to the meeting.
How does Jen Wynters determine their fees?
At Jen Wynters, we understand that everyone's tax situation is unique. That's why we offer two flexible pricing options to ensure you receive the best value for your needs: flat fees and contingent fees.
Flat Fees for Straightforward Returns:
For simple to moderate tax returns, we offer transparent flat fees. This means you'll know exactly how much you'll pay upfront, with no surprises. Our flat fees are based on the complexity of your return, usually determined by the number of forms and schedules required. This option is ideal for individuals with:
- W-2 income and standard deductions
- Limited investments and retirement contributions
- No self-employment or rental property income
Contingent Fees for Complex Situations:
For complex tax situations involving substantial deductions, tax credits, or potential IRS audits, we offer contingent fees. With this option, your fee is partially based on the positive outcome we achieve for you. This means:
- No upfront fees: You only pay a portion of your fee if we successfully secure you a tax refund or reduce your tax liability.
- Shared success: We're invested in maximizing your tax benefit, so our interests are aligned with yours.
- Transparency: We'll clearly explain the potential fee range based on your situation and tax regulations.
Which Option is Right for You?
When choosing the right pricing option, consider the following:
- Complexity of your tax return: If your return involves multiple income sources, investments, deductions, or business interests, consider a contingent fee.
- Risk tolerance: If you prefer predictability and budget certainty, a flat fee may be ideal.
- Confidence in our expertise: We're confident in our ability to navigate complex tax scenarios and minimize your tax burden.
No matter which option you choose, we can assure you of:
- Expert tax preparation: Our team of experienced tax professionals will ensure your return is accurate and maximizes your tax benefits.
- Personalized service: We take the time to understand your individual circumstances and provide tailored advice.
- Open communication: We'll keep you informed throughout the process and answer any questions you have.
