Questions, answered
About working with us and using the secure client portal.
Who do you prepare returns for?
Individuals and families, people who are self-employed or freelance, and small businesses. We also prepare past-year and amended returns.
How do I send you my documents?
Create an account and upload them in the secure client portal. PDFs and phone photos are both fine. Create an account.
Can I just email my documents?
Please don't. Email is not a safe place for tax documents or Social Security numbers. The portal encrypts every file and only you and our preparers can open it.
What file types can I upload?
PDFs and common image formats such as JPG and PNG. If your phone takes a photo of a form, that works. Word and Excel files aren't accepted.
What should I gather before I start?
Your W-2s and 1099s, last year's return if you have it, ID, and records for anything that changed this year. The checklist on the home page builds a list for your situation.
Who can see my documents?
You and DEY Group preparers. Files are encrypted when stored, and access is limited to your account and the people preparing your return.
Will you email me?
Yes, short notices when something needs your attention or your return status changes. They tell you to log in and never contain document details.
Do I need two-step sign-in?
It's optional but we recommend it. It adds a code from an authenticator app when you log in, so a stolen password alone can't open your account.
How long do you keep my documents?
For the period set by our records retention policy. If you have questions about your records, ask us through the contact form.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your return. Tell us about your situation through the contact form and we'll give you a clear quote before we start.
