I filed an extension. Did that also extend the time to pay?
Generally, no. A federal extension provides more time to file, not more time to pay. Your specific filing and payment position will be reviewed during the engagement.
What if I am not sure whether my extension was accepted?
Explain how the extension was submitted during your consultation. We will identify what information is needed to confirm your next step.
Can you prepare both my business and individual returns?
Yes. The Elis Tax prepares individual, partnership, S corporation, and C corporation returns and can coordinate related filings.
What if my bookkeeping is incomplete?
That is common among extended-return filers. We will assess whether limited corrections or a separate bookkeeping cleanup engagement is needed before the return can be prepared accurately.
Do you work with clients outside Virginia?
Yes. The Elis Tax provides virtual federal tax preparation nationwide and prepares applicable state returns based on each client's filing requirements.
How should I send my tax documents?
Clients receive access to a secure portal. Do not send Social Security numbers, tax documents, or banking information through ordinary email or text message.
