See the price. Pick the preparer. Get it signed.
Most tax offices assign you whoever is free. Here, you choose.
Step 1
Pick your preparer.
Read their profile: how long they’ve prepared returns, their credential, and the returns they do most.
Step 2
See the price.
Your preparer confirms your fee in writing before starting.
Step 3
Get it signed and filed.
Your preparer signs your return with their name and PTIN, files it, and gives you a copy with their contact details.
Every preparer is checked before they join.
“Vetted” only means something if we tell you what we check. This is our standard, and it will be on every preparer’s profile.
You can look up any enrolled agent or Annual Filing Season Program participant yourself in the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers (opens in a new tab).
- A current Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN), checked every season.
- Credential checked at the source: the IRS directory for enrolled agents and AFSP participants, the state board of accountancy for CPAs.
- A minimum number of seasons preparing returns, with references. The minimum will be published before launch.
- Trained by Signed & Filed before their first return, with continuing education every year.
- Signs every return they prepare, with their own name and PTIN.
- Follows our posted price list and never charges a fee based on your refund.
The price, before you book.
Your fee is set by the forms your return needs. You’ll see it in writing before we start.
The price list is being finalised and is not published yet. Until it is, ask for a written fee estimate. We never set a fee as a share of your refund. If you’d like your fee paid from your refund, we’ll explain that option and any bank fee separately before you choose it.
Tell us about your return. We’ll match you with a preparer.
Share a few basics and we’ll suggest the preparer who does your kind of return most, with a written fee estimate. You pick, then book.
Questions people ask first.
When will I get my refund?
The IRS controls refund timing, not us. The IRS says most e-filed returns with direct deposit are refunded within 21 days. By law, refunds that include the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit can't be issued before mid-February.
Can you get me a bigger refund?
Nobody honest can promise that. What we do: your preparer checks for every credit and deduction you qualify for and shows you how they got your number.
What if I owe?
Owing doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Choose a preparer with experience in your kind of return, and we'll make sure you claim everything the law allows. You have until the April deadline to pay.
What does "signed" mean?
Every paid preparer must sign the return they prepare and include their Preparer Tax Identification Number. The IRS calls a preparer who won't a "ghost preparer." At Signed & Filed, your preparer's name is on every return.
Can I reach my preparer after April?
Yes. Your copy of your return lists your preparer's contact details. Off-season hours will be posted before launch.
What should I bring?
Last year's return, photo ID, and every W-2 and 1099 you received this year. Your preparer will send a checklist for anything else your return needs.
