Rules
How rush pricing works
Written confirmation first. A rush is booked only after we confirm the tier, fee and timeline in writing.
When the clock starts. Your timeline starts when we have complete documents. Requests confirmed after 12 p.m. PT start the next business day.
Business days only. All timelines are business days, Monday to Friday, Pacific Time, excluding federal holidays.
Payment. The rush fee is paid upfront, together with any state fees.
Our promise. If we confirm a rush timeline and miss it, we refund the rush fee.
One rush fee per engagement. Rush fees are never stacked across services in the same package.
State and government fees are charged at cost and are non-refundable, even if a filing is rejected.
Late tax documents. Tax documents received within 14 days of a filing deadline are automatically placed on the Priority tier.
Monthly clients. Clients on a monthly plan get one free Priority upgrade per quarter.
From February 1 to April 15, Emergency slots are limited. Request early.
