Remote client questions
Do I need to live in California to work with you?
No. We work with individuals and businesses in every state. Most remote clients never visit the office; everything happens by secure upload, video, and e-signature.
Can you represent me before the IRS if I live in another state?
Yes. Enrolled Agents are licensed by the U.S. Treasury and can represent taxpayers before the IRS on audits, notices, and collections in every state.
Do you prepare state returns for other states?
Yes. We prepare the state returns your situation requires, including part-year and multi-state returns when you have moved or earn income in more than one state.
How do I send my documents?
Through a secure online portal. We send you a personalized checklist, you upload what you have, and we tell you if anything is missing. Please don't send tax documents by regular email.
What time zone do you work in?
Pacific time. We schedule video meetings at times that work for clients on the East Coast and in between.
Wherever you live, let's talk.
