How much will it cost for LE Tax Service to prepare my return?
Our fee is based upon the forms and schedules required to complete your return.

How much is it to E-file my return?
There is NO CHARGE for electronic filing if we prepare your return. If you qualify for electronic filing, we will transmit the federal, all states, and any city returns for no additional fee.
What do I need to bring when I come in to have my return prepared?
Please bring with you all documents relevant to the current year such as W-2’s, 1099’s, interest and broker statements, mortgage statements, real estate taxes paid, charitable contributions (cash and non-cash), Schedule K-1’s from partnerships or small corporations, etc. There is a comprehensive list -here- that you can print and use as a guide. If you are self-employed or own rental property, there will be additional records that we will need to see. If you bought or sold a home during the year, we will need to see the closing statement from each of those transactions. Additionally, new clients will need to bring a copy of their prior year’s tax return as it may contain information relevant to the current year. Here’s a list that will help you- What to Bring?

How can I get my refund the quickest way possible?
There are several ways to get your refund, but the quickest is direct deposit directly from the IRS and NYS, in as little a 8 days. If you don’t have a bank account, you can choose to have your refund loaded on our E1 Visa card, or pick up a check in our office. Of course, you also can have checks mailed to your home, but that is the slowest way to get your refund.
Can I have my tax preparation fee paid from my refund?
Yes, by utilizing our partner EPS program, you can have our fee deducted from your refund. There may be an additional fee for a paper check or direct deposit, but the Visa is FREE!

LE Tax Service is available upon appointment. If you have questions or need help with current or prior taxes, please feel free to contact us. We’re always there for you, before or after April 15th.
