Notes

  1. Once you have uploaded your questionnaire and all documentation, you MUST email us to let us know you are ready! We won’t know unless you tell us.
  2. If your file isn’t complete by May 20, we will most likely need to put you on an extension and prepare the return after the summer.
  3. We charge rush fees if your file is complete less than three weeks before your return is due.
  4. FBAR extensions: Extensions are automatic with no request needed.
