YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Browse all FAQs ↗Personal tax FAQ
What should I prepare for my first conversation?
Gather your prior-year return, current income statements, and a list of changes in your household, work, or finances. Optimum will confirm the exact records needed after reviewing your situation.
Can I discuss income from more than one source?
Yes. Tell us about wages, independent work, investments, rental activity, and other income sources so we can define the preparation scope and document requirements.
What if some of my documents are missing?
Tell us which records are missing before preparation begins. We can discuss the information needed and the next steps for obtaining it. Do not substitute guesses for missing figures.
Can you review a prior-year return or a tax notice?
Mention the year involved and the type of notice or concern when you contact us. We will confirm whether the review is within the service scope, what records are needed, and any separate fee.
How long will preparation take?
Timing depends on the completeness of your records, the complexity of the work, and appointment availability. Ask for an expected schedule when the scope is confirmed; filing and refund processing are separate timelines.
