Are you looking for online tax advice?
Choose one of the three types of phone consultations and chat with a tax expert.
The free intro phone consultation is an opportunity to discuss what method of filing will be best for your situation, to get instructions for completion of our Tax Questionnaire, what basic documents may be needed, as well as turnaround time. If you’re new to TFX and plan to have us prepare your tax return, this is a good place to get free phone tax advice.
Talk to our tax expert before we start working on your case (up to 30 minutes). While this service is free, we’ll ask you to pay a $50 retainer towards your tax preparation fees.
If you need to talk with a tax professional about complicated tax planning use the Tax planning service service.
If you want to speak to a tax professional while working with us you can schedule a 30-minute paid consultation with one of our experts.
