Your return has more moving parts than a W‑2.

A business on the side, investment accounts, rental property, equity compensation, foreign income. Tax software was built for the simple version. We prepare the complicated one.

WHO DOES THE WORK

Prepared in Skokie by people who know what the IRS looks for

Your return is prepared by the Gordon Tax team in Skokie, Illinois. Gordon Tax, LLC was founded by Andrew Gordon, a tax attorney and CPA, and has focused on crypto tax since 2014.

What to have ready

W-2s and 1099s, last year's return, business and rental records, brokerage statements, and anything foreign.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We prepare returns for clients in all 50 states; everything runs through a secure portal.

February or March for a timely filing. We can extend and file later in the year if needed.

We bill by the hour, so the cost depends on how much work your situation takes. Before we start you get a written estimate and pay a deposit, which is applied to the work. Most returns finish within the deposit; when a return takes longer than expected, for example a crypto year with a lot of reconciliation, the balance is billed when the work is complete. We do not publish flat prices because no two returns are the same.
