Real Stories. Real Results.

These are real outcomes for our clients—showing how going beyond the basics can save money, relieve stress, and put you back in control of your taxes.

✅ Refund Recovered Through Amendment

One client was denied a refund and assumed they owed the IRS. After a detailed review, we filed an amendment and discovered they were actually due money back. The relief on their face was unforgettable—what felt like debt became a financial breakthrough.

✅ IRS Balance Cut by Over Half

Another client was told they owed a large IRS balance. After interviewing them and reviewing their records, we uncovered several missed write-offs. We corrected the return— and reduced their liability by more than 50%.

✅ Credit Recovered After Dependent Confusion

A client thought she could no longer claim her 21-year-old daughter because she had a part-time job. We confirmed the daughter was a full-time student living at home and still qualified as a dependent. We added the Other Dependent Credit and increased her refund.

*Every tax situation is unique; these examples reflect real client outcomes but results will vary. We treat every return with the same care and thoroughness.*
