Thank you for your interest in Charlesworth Financial Services and having us prepare your income tax returns and/or financial services. The $295 retainer fee will be invoiced and must be paid prior to any tax work or consulting, including extension. If your documents are not provided by March 10, 2026, you will be put on extension. An extension extends the time to file, but not the time to pay. If you believe you will owe with your extension, please let us know. Our basic return prep fee starts at $295 and includes federal and Indiana efiling as well as identity theft protection. Additional charges will apply for states other than Indiana, forms other than basic and additional time spent on the return based on the organization of your information. Returns will be available to you in your personal secure portal. Upon completion, you will be sent via email a DocuSign request for your signature and an invoice that may be paid online or by Zelle at 219.733.2039. Use the "personal" choice and include your name in the memo. Please complete this form and, if applicable for your spouse and dependents. After we receive this completed form, we will send you a retainer invoice for the $295 minimum and then a link to our secure portal SmartVault. When submitting info through SmartVault, by texting 219.531.9519 or in person, make sure to include all social security number(s), copy of driver's license(s) and bank account and routing number for direct deposit or electronic tax payments. Please remove all forms from envelopes and recycle the non-essential fillers. Please do not use staples. If uploading, please scan all documents to a single pdf. Naming items individually does not help us and jpeg and png files are difficult to work with. We do not have a dedicated receptionist, therefore we prefer clients to limit drop ins and phone calls to Tuesday thru Thursday, 9am to 4pm. We reserve lunchtime for those clients who work and have no other time to contact us. Our practice includes not only accounting and tax preparation, but investment management, small business consulting and financial services. Clients find that an investment advisor who also prepares income taxes is beneficial for their financial future. We look forward to working with you. Thank you.
