Common questions
Good questions.
Clear answers.
How does remote tax preparation work?
After a short introduction, you’ll receive instructions for sending your documents. We prepare the return, meet remotely as needed, and review everything with you before filing.
Will I know the cost before work begins?
Yes. After reviewing the scope of the work, Gear provides a written quote or fee arrangement before accepting the engagement.
Do you work with self-employed clients?
Yes. Gear Tax Services works with freelancers, contractors, side businesses, sole proprietors, and other owner-operated businesses.
Do you offer bookkeeping and payroll?
Yes. Bookkeeping and payroll options are available for owner-operated businesses and small employers. Scope and pricing are confirmed after a review of your needs.
Can you help if I have missed a filing year?
Yes. Prior-year returns are welcome. We’ll help you identify what is missing and build a sensible path to getting caught up.
Does submitting a request reserve client space?
No. New-client capacity is intentionally limited. A place is confirmed only after scope and capacity are reviewed and Gear accepts a signed engagement.
