Overview

About our tax preparation service

Filing shouldn't feel like a gamble

Most people overpay because their preparer only looks backward. We prepare your return with the same care we'd give our own, then flag the two or three decisions that could lower next year's bill.

Your engagement includes a secure client portal, e-signature, direct deposit setup and a post-filing review call.

  • Individual (1040) and family returns
  • S-Corp, C-Corp, partnership and LLC returns
  • Multi-state and non-resident filings
  • Trusts, estates and gift tax
  • Prior-year and amended returns
  • Audit representation included

FAQ

Common questions

What documents do I need to send you?

We'll send a personalized organizer in January listing exactly what applies to you. Most clients upload documents through our secure portal in under 20 minutes.

Can you file in more than one state?

Yes. We prepare multi-state returns for clients who moved, work remotely, or own property in several states.

Client stories

What clients say

For fifteen years Hartwell has handled our returns and our books. They caught an S-Corp election that saved us more in one year than we've paid them in five.
