Who this service is for

Most of our individual clients are Northwest Iowa families and working people: W-2 households, retirees with investment or pension income, students filing for the first time, and anyone whose year included a change worth getting right — a marriage, a new home, a move between states, an inheritance.

If your situation includes self-employment or farm income, you'll likely be better served by our business tax return service — it covers your personal filing too.

What's included

  • Federal & Iowa state 1040, prepared and e-filed
  • All common schedules — itemized deductions (A), interest & dividends (B), capital gains (D)
  • A deduction & credit review based on your full picture — not just software prompts
  • A personal review call before anything is filed — you approve first
  • Year-round availability for questions, IRS letters, and next-year planning

How it works

1. Free 20-minute consultation. We talk through your situation and confirm your exact quote — before any work begins.

2. Share documents securely. You'll get access to a secure portal for your W-2s, 1099s, and records. Never email tax documents.

3. Review and approve. We prepare the return, walk you through it together, and e-file only after you've signed off.
