  • You're too busy to spend hours sorting through receipts and paperwork.
  • Starting a business? The maze of tax and legal requirements is overwhelming.

    Your questions answered

    Q: What documents do I need?

    A: For most clients we need:

    • A valid photo ID and Social Security card or ITIN for you (and spouse if filing jointly).
    • Income forms such as W-2s, 1099s, or other income statements.
    • If you are claiming dependents:
      • Social Security card or ITIN for each dependent
      • IRS award letters, proof of daycare expenses, or proof of school enrollment if you’re claiming credits like the Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Credit, or Dependent Care Credit.
    • For business owners or gig workers: expense records such as mileage logs, receipts, and invoices.

    Q: DO YOU WORK WITH GIG WORKERS LIKE UBER, LYFT, OR DOORDASH DRIVERS?

    A: Yes. We specialize in helping gig workers maximize deductions for mileage, supplies, and other eligible expenses.

    Q: How do I send you my documents?

    A: We provide a secure online portal and mobile app where you can upload documents safely. You can also email or call us for instructions if you prefer other options.

    Q: When will I get my refund?

    A: Refund timing depends on the IRS and your state agency. Most refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, but timing can vary.

    A: Yes. If you choose a Refund Transfer through Republic Bank, your service fees may be deducted directly from your refund, along with the Refund Transfer fee and any other authorized charges.
    Important: If you do not select a bank product, you must pay all Carnival Tax service fees in full before we submit your return. No return will be filed until payment is received.

    Q: What happens if I get a letter from the IRS?

    A: Don’t panic. We’ll help you understand the notice, gather documents, and draft a response. If formal representation is needed, we’ll connect you with a trusted licensed professional.
