Tax Shops

Are there any tax shops out there that do not require a bank product or refund deposit? Please name the MSC only and not the client.

Why? They cover the cost of the bank product and/or refund (deposit? transfer?) thing.

I haven't looked at all the details (because I've already done my taxes), but I've seen them with Marketforce, SeeLevel, and on PrestoInstaShops.

cease, I found Tax Dude on a shop last year. He was awesome. The bank that I shopped last year is not participating this year. I had my taxes done yesterday by him, and I was pleased with the outcome.

Because he did my taxes, and I am getting an electronic refund, I want to have my taxes done again, this time for the fee. I want to act as if I am going to mail in the documents.

All tax shops I have seen require you to actually file with the tax professional.

I want to have my taxes (re)done. I don't want to do the electronic refund. I want a shop where I can mail my documents to the IRS. I solely want the shop fee.

I'm sorry, I'm totally confused. You said Tax Dude did a great job on your taxes, and you already filed? And you're already getting a refund?

BARE has shops where you do NOT file. Marketforce has ones where you must file (and must have W-2 income) (and you must have XXXX$ in refund).

And they bonus quite nicely (speaking from personal experience).

If you're trying to have a paper return prepared, as a work-around to receiving the fee for a return that has already been e-filed, that would seem to be duplicitous. I readily admit I am not familiar with the guidelines.

The shops that I have seen thus far require a refund using a bank product. Since I am not eligible for that, having already filed, I want to go through the motions solely for the shop fee.

Frankly, I've never seen one that gives you the option to say "Oh, I just want to mail it in".

And I've been doing the tax shops for years.

They are out there. I just have to find one.

Since the client isn't named can you please provide the MSC? I've never seen a shop like this but might be interested if the pay is right.

Check Kern scheduling. The pay is nowhere as high as the bank refund shops, but it's still pretty good.

Is the preparer the client? Interesting, if so.

Mert, for the shops that involve getting a refund, the bank is the client.

For the shops that just involve the service of getting taxes done, the chain preparer is the client.
