Taxpayer Fun Facts

Things Taxpayers May Not Know.

FACT 01

Withholding Helps Determine Whether You Get A Refund Or Owe.

Federal tax withheld from your pay is money already sent toward your federal income tax. Too little withholding can lead to a balance due. More withholding can increase a refund, depending on the full return.

FACT 02

Missing Income Can Create Delays.

If income documents are missing or the information does not match IRS records, a return may need correction or additional review.

FACT 03

An IRS Identity Check Can Pause A Refund.

The IRS may ask you to verify your identity or return information. If you receive a verification notice, follow the official notice instructions and tell your preparer.

FACT 04

Some Refunds Have Special Timing Rules.

Returns claiming certain refundable credits may be subject to federal timing rules before the IRS can release the refund.

FACT 05

A Refund Is Not Free Money From The IRS.

A refund generally means payments and refundable credits exceeded your final tax liability. A balance due means the opposite.

FACT 06

Direct Deposit Information Matters.

An incorrect bank account or routing number can create problems receiving a refund. Review the numbers carefully before the return is transmitted.

Before Your Appointment

A few things can make tax filing much easier.

You do not need to know tax law. You just need to bring accurate information and tell us what changed in your life this year.

01

Tell Us What Changed

Marriage, divorce, a new baby, a move, a new job, unemployment, school, self employment, a home purchase, or Marketplace insurance can all matter.

02

Do Not Leave Out Income

Bring W 2s, 1099s, retirement income, unemployment, gig income, investment forms, and any other income documents you received.

03

Bring Tax Notices

If the IRS or a state tax agency mailed you a notice, bring it. The notice may affect what we need to review before filing.

04

Ask Before Guessing

If you are unsure whether someone qualifies as a dependent or which filing status applies, do not guess. We can review it with you.

05

Review Before You Sign

Make sure names, Social Security numbers, bank information, income, and dependent details are correct before the return is submitted.

06

Keep Your Records

Save copies of your tax return and important supporting documents for your records after filing.

Common Taxpayer Questions

You Can Come In With Questions.

That is what the consultation is for. Here are a few common questions we hear.

Is This Refund Calculator My Final Refund Amount?

No. It is a simple federal estimate based only on the information entered. Your final return may include additional income, credits, deductions, taxes, or adjustments.

What If I Have More Than One W 2?

For a quick estimate, combine the Box 1 wages from your W 2s and combine the Box 2 federal withholding amounts. Bring every W 2 to your appointment.

What If I Am Self Employed Or Received A 1099?

This basic estimator is not designed to calculate self employment tax or business deductions. Book a consultation so your complete situation can be reviewed.

Why Would The IRS Ask Me To Verify My Identity?

The IRS may request identity verification as part of fraud prevention or return review. Use the instructions on the official IRS notice and keep your preparer informed.

Can Missing Documents Delay My Refund?

Yes. Missing or mismatched information can require corrections or additional review. It is better to gather all documents before filing.

Can I File With $0 Paid Upfront?

If you are due a refund, ask whether a refund transfer is available so eligible tax preparation fees can be paid from your refund. Bank or product fees may apply. If you owe taxes or are not due a refund, applicable preparation fees are due upfront.

Is The Refund Advance Guaranteed?

No. Refund advance eligibility, approval, amount, timing, and terms are determined by the participating bank or financial institution, not EZ FILE NOW.
