3. Determine your filing status:
Determine your filing status, which could be single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, or qualifying widow(er). Your filing status determines the tax rates and deductions you are eligible for.
4. Calculate your Gross Income:
Calculate your gross income by adding up all your sources of income. This includes wages, salaries, tips, self-employment income, rental income, investment income, and any other earnings.
5. Fill out the RLS Tax Client Organizer:
This will help us determine if you are eligible for any tax deductions or credits. Common deductions include mortgage interest, student loan interest, education expenses, and medical expenses. It is essential to fill it out thoroughly given that credits can help reduce your tax liability and may include the child tax credit, earned income credit, or education credits.

7. RLS will Contact You:
Expect a call from us within the next 1-2 business days to discuss your numbers. Once we have your approval, we will proceed to e-file your taxes.
8. Pay any taxes owed or receive a refund:
If you owe taxes, make sure to pay them by the tax deadline. You can typically pay online, by check, or through other accepted payment methods. If you are receiving a refund, depending on what method you selected, either the money will be deposited into the bank account you provided or a check will be sent out to you by mail.
