Tax preparation
Tax preparation without the hourly meter.
Accurate, on-time federal and state tax returns for individuals and small businesses — for a flat monthly fee, with year-round access instead of a spring scramble.
Tax filing shouldn't come with a surprise invoice.
The traditional model bills tax preparation by the hour, in six-minute increments, and the total doesn't land until the work is done. You pay premium rates for data entry, get charged for the "quick question" call, and your accountant is hardest to reach in the exact months you need them.
Digitaxpert does it differently. We automate the mechanical parts of a return — importing documents, matching data, running the checks — so the fee reflects the strategy and the review, not the typing. You know the number up front, and we're available year-round, not just in April.
What's included
Tax preparation at Digitaxpert covers the returns most individuals and small businesses need, prepared accurately and e-filed on time:
- Individual returns — Form 1040, federal and state
- Partnership returns — Form 1065 with Schedule K-1s
- S-Corp returns — Form 1120-S (see S-Corp tax preparation)
- C-Corp returns — Form 1120
- Multi-state and part-year returns
- Estimated (quarterly) tax planning and vouchers
- 1099 preparation and e-file (see 1099 filing)
- IRS and state notice handling and representation
How it works
Straightforward, and mostly off your plate:
- Intro call. We learn your situation and quote a flat monthly fee — no obligation.
- Onboarding. You get a secure portal; we pull in prior returns and connect your accounts.
- Preparation. Automation gathers and organizes the data; our team prepares and reviews the return.
- Review & e-file. You approve, we e-file, and you keep signed copies in the portal.
- Year-round. Planning check-ins and unlimited questions — not just at filing time.
Who this is for
- Individuals and households who want a predictable fee and a real person to ask.
- Freelancers and 1099 contractors juggling income from multiple platforms.
- Founders and small-business owners who want their business and personal returns handled together.
- Anyone tired of hourly billing and disappearing accountants in tax season.
Accurate, and accountable
Tax is a high-stakes, detail-driven discipline. Returns are prepared by our team and reviewed before anything is filed. Digitaxpert is a registered LLC and files electronically as an IRS-authorized e-file provider. Nothing on this page is engagement-specific advice — that comes only after a signed engagement letter tailored to your situation.
FAQ
Common questions
- How much does tax preparation cost?
- We work on a flat monthly fee rather than an hourly rate, so you know the number before we start. The exact fee depends on your situation — a single 1040 is different from a multi-entity business return — and we quote it on a free intro call. See our flat-fee pricing for a starting point.
- Do you prepare both personal and business returns?
- Yes. We prepare individual returns (Form 1040), partnership returns (1065), S-Corp returns (1120-S), and C-Corp returns (1120), plus the owner returns that go with them. Business owners typically have us handle both the entity and their personal filing so the two stay in sync.
- Can you handle multi-state filings?
- Yes. If you moved during the year, work across state lines, or sell into multiple states, we prepare the required multi-state and part-year returns. See what we do for the full list.
- Do you file electronically?
- Yes — we e-file returns where the IRS and state allow it, which is the fastest and most reliable way to file and get any refund.
- What if I get a notice from the IRS?
- Client plans include IRS notice handling, and we can represent you on more involved matters. Learn more about our approach to IRS correspondence and resolution when that page is available, or raise it on your intro call.
- Do you work with clients outside New York?
- Yes. Digitaxpert is based in New York and works with individuals and businesses across the United States. Everything runs through a secure document portal, so location is not a constraint.
