Answers to Your Tax Questions
From what to bring to your appointment to how we handle IRS letters, here's what you need to know about working with High Quality Tax Service.
What should I bring to my tax appointment?
A photo ID, your prior-year return, all income documents (W-2s, 1099s, K-1s), records of deductions and expenses, and any letters you've received from the IRS or state. If you own a business, bring your bookkeeping or profit-and-loss summary. We'll send you a tailored checklist when you book.
Do you prepare both individual and business returns?
Yes. We handle personal returns, self-employed and rideshare filers, rental-property owners, and small businesses — along with the bookkeeping and accounting behind them.
How much does tax preparation cost?
It depends on the complexity of your return and the forms involved. After a quick, free consultation we'll give you a clear quote up front, so there are no surprises at filing time.
When is the tax filing deadline?
Individual returns are generally due in mid-April, while businesses often have earlier deadlines depending on entity type. We'll confirm your exact dates and keep you well ahead of them.
Can you file an extension for me?
Yes. An extension gives you more time to file — but not more time to pay. We'll estimate what you owe so you can avoid unnecessary penalties and interest.
How long will it take to get my refund?
The IRS typically issues e-filed refunds within about three weeks when you choose direct deposit. We e-file and keep track of your return so you always know where it stands.
Do you offer same-day cash advances?
Same-day refund advances are available to qualifying clients, subject to approval and terms. We'll walk you through exactly how the process works before you decide.
I received a letter from the IRS. Can you help?
Absolutely. We handle IRS notices, penalties, back taxes, liens, installment agreements, Offers in Compromise, and more. Bring the letter in and we'll explain your options in plain language.
Are you available year-round or only during tax season?
Year-round. Questions, planning, and financial needs don't stop in April, and neither do we. You can reach us whenever something comes up.
Can I work with you remotely?
Yes. Many clients share documents and sign securely online, so you can work with us from anywhere in Greater Los Angeles without coming into the office.
What areas do you serve?
We serve individuals, families, and businesses throughout Greater Los Angeles and the surrounding communities.
Do you help with bookkeeping and accounting?
Yes. We record and categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and produce financial reports so your books stay clean, accurate, and tax-ready all year long.
I own rental property. Can you handle that?
Yes. We handle rental income, operating expenses, depreciation, and the deductions real estate owners most often miss.
I drive rideshare or I'm self-employed. What can I deduct?
Mileage, tolls, parking, phone, supplies, and other ordinary business costs may be deductible. We'll make sure you capture everything you're entitled to claim.
Can you amend a return that was already filed?
Yes. If a past return was incorrect or missed a deduction, we can review it and file an amended return where it makes sense to do so.
Do I need to make estimated tax payments?
If you're self-employed or have income without withholding, you likely do. We'll calculate your quarterly payments so you're not caught short when you file.
How long should I keep my tax records?
As a general rule, keep returns and supporting documents for at least three years; some records should be kept longer. We'll tell you what to hold onto for your specific situation.
How do I get started?
Call us at 213-992-9507 or book a free consultation. We'll review your situation and map out a clear next step — whether you're an individual or a business.
