Our Paperless Process
We've been electronically filing most returns for the last severals years and we are continuing to move toward an entirely paperless process. When your returns are finished, we'll provide you a CD that has all of your original source documents and PDF copies of your returns. We will, of course, return all of your original documents, but they will be saved on the CD as well. Some tax forms (i.e., estimated payment vouchers and some city returns) are still in paper format, so those will still be provided as usual.
This paperless process will save paper and reduce the amount of space it takes for you (and us) to store your records. In addition, if you need to provide someone a copy of your return, usually a bank, then you'll have the PDF file in hand.
If you prefer to receive the hard copy folder as we've prepared in the past, it will be provided at no additional charge.
After your returns are completed, you can check on the status of your refund by going the Links page. The first two items allow you to check your federal and state refund status online.
