A basic short form is $75 and a basic long form is $125 (both already include electronic filing fees). Additional forms start at $10 each. Fees are based upon forms prepared and the time needed to process and prepare your return. Top 2. When do I pay for my return? You pay for your return before the return is transmitted to the IRS. Top 3. What are my payment options? We accept cash and checks. We also process electronic refund checks and electronic refund deposits. Top 4. I don't have the money to pay for my return. What should I do? All tax preparation fees can be withheld from your refund if you elect a electronic refund check or deposit. Top 5. Do I need an appointment? Only if you want to be there while your return is being prepared or have questions or issues to discuss. Otherwise, you can do a "drop off" return. We offer 'drop off' services along with face to face interviews. Let us know which works best for you. Top 6. When can I stop by if I am dropping off my return information? Our normal business hours are: Monday – Friday 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Saturday 9:00 - 3:00 pm Top 7. I'm a new client. What should I bring with me? All of the tax documents you received in the mail, a copy of last year's return if available, and social security cards for everyone on the return if possible. If you are opting for an electronic refund check or deposit please bring driver's licenses for taxpayer and spouse. Top 8. Do I need to bring a copy of last year's tax return? If we didn't prepare your return last year, it is helpful but not absolutely necessary. Top 9. Why do I need to bring in social security cards? The IRS matches the names on the return to the Social Security Administration data base. We want to make sure there will be no delay in processing your return. Top 10. I worked in another state last year. Can you still prepare my return? Yes. We prepare returns from all over the country and all over the world. Top 11. I have a few questions, what should I do? We are available when you stop by to answer basic questions. If the questions are more complicated, make an appointment or leave a message and a preparer will phone you back. Top 12. What if I have a tax question later in the year? Pope Tax Service is open 12 months a year. Top
