I have been very pleased with the exceptional service I have received since KEI has been doing my taxes. One of the best things is they have continually made me aware of itemization/tax deductions that I did not know about.

Carla was very responsive and took care of our needs quickly and efficiently. She communicated every time an action was needed and didn't simply wait for me to check my portal. I used this company for my business and personal. I will most likely be using them for the foreseeable future.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Base price = federal 1040 + one state ($350). Self-employed (Schedule C) +$175. Other forms quoted after intake. $99 start fee, credited on your final invoice. 10% off when you pay in full. Price depends on the forms you need, never on your refund.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Everything is remote. You pay a $99 start fee, which is credited on your final invoice, and sign the engagement letter. Then you upload your documents to a secure client portal. With your permission, I pull your IRS records to check that nothing is missing. I prepare and review your return, then send you a short video walking through it before you approve. Once your final invoice is paid, you sign Form 8879 electronically and I e-file.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m an IRS-registered tax preparer (PTIN). I’m finishing a Master’s in Accountancy (May 2027) and completed the IRS Annual Filing Season Program. I take continuing education every year to keep up with tax law changes.
