Covid-19

In 2020, in order to best protect ourselves and our clients, we moved to a virtual-only model of tax preparation. Although the pandemic has passed, we still prefer remote appointments. Please contact us if you need an in-person appointment in Carbondale or Denver.

If you would prefer a video conference, we can use common applications such as Zoom, Facetime, Signal, and WhatsApp.

There are many options for delivering your documents to us. The simplest method would be a digital transfer. Simply scan (or photograph) your pages and then email them to us. We can also create a secure folder in Google Drive so that you can drag and drop files.

Another option would be to mail us your documents. Please keep in mind that this can cause delays.
