Everything We Do, Under One Roof

What's Included

• Federal and New York State personal returns, e-filed with direct deposit
• Self-employment and small-business returns — 1099 income, rideshare, delivery, freelance (Schedule C)
• Amended returns (Form 1040-X) and prior-year / back-tax filings
• ITIN applications and renewals (Form W-7) for filers without a Social Security number
• Credit review — Earned Income Credit, Child Tax Credit, education and child-care credits
• Help responding to IRS and New York State letters and notices
• Year-round planning — withholding checkups and quarterly estimated payments

What to Bring

• Photo ID for the taxpayer — and spouse, if filing jointly
• Social Security cards or ITIN letters for everyone on the return
• All income forms — W-2s and 1099s (NEC, MISC, K, INT, G), unemployment statements
• Expense records if self-employed — mileage, supplies, phone, home office
• Form 1095-A if you had marketplace health insurance
• Bank routing and account numbers for direct deposit
• Last year's return if you're a new client

How It Works

1. Bring your documents — walk in or call ahead
2. We review your situation and find every credit and deduction you qualify for
3. Your return is prepared and explained to you in plain language
4. You review and sign — nothing is filed until you approve it
5. We e-file federal and state and give you copies of everything
6. Most e-filed refunds with direct deposit arrive in about 21 days

Good to Know

• Refunds that include the Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit are held by law until mid-February
• Missed the April deadline? Filing late is always better than not filing — penalties grow with time
• You can generally claim a refund for up to 3 years after the original due date
• An ITIN that isn't used on a return for 3 straight years expires automatically
• Behind on several years? We can file multiple back years in one visit

What's Included

• Citizenship / naturalization applications
• Family petitions for spouses, parents, children and siblings
• Green card renewals and replacements
• Work permit applications and renewals
• Removal of conditions on residence
• Adjustment of status paperwork and DACA renewals
• Certified translations of supporting documents, and photos that meet USCIS specs

What to Bring

• Green card or your current immigration documents
• Passport(s) and any prior visas
• Birth and marriage certificates for family petitions — with translations if not in English
• Your A-number and copies of past USCIS filings, if any
• Proof of address, income or tax returns when the form requires them

How It Works

1. You tell us which form you are filing; we go over what it asks for
2. You gather documents from a personalized checklist we give you
3. We complete the forms accurately and assemble the full filing package
4. You review everything before anything is sent
5. We include mailing instructions and where to confirm the current USCIS fee
6. We translate receipt notices and biometrics appointment letters for you

Good to Know

• USCIS filing fees change — always confirm the current fee at uscis.gov before mailing
• Naturalization generally requires 5 years as a permanent resident — 3 if married to a U.S. citizen
• Renew your green card about 6 months before it expires
• Everything is handled with complete confidentiality
• We are a document-preparation service — not attorneys or DOJ-accredited representatives. Complex cases (court proceedings, criminal history, prior denials) need an immigration attorney or DOJ-accredited representative

What's Included

• Complete uncontested (no-fault) divorce paperwork for New York State
• Summons with Notice or Summons and Verified Complaint
• Child support worksheets under the Child Support Standards Act when children are involved
• Affidavits of service and the defendant's affidavit
• The judgment-of-divorce packet the court needs to finalize
• Name-change (return to a prior surname) included in the paperwork
• Step-by-step filing instructions for your county clerk

What to Bring

• Marriage certificate — with a certified translation if it isn't in English
• Full legal names, addresses and dates of birth for both spouses
• Date and place of the marriage
• The agreed terms — property, debts, support, and custody/visitation if there are children
• Valid photo ID

How It Works

1. You confirm both spouses agree on all terms (an uncontested divorce) — if not, you need a lawyer
2. We prepare the full document set for your situation, with or without children
3. You sign where required — some documents must be notarized (we help with that too)
4. You file with the county clerk to get your index number
5. Papers are served on your spouse following the court's rules
6. We prepare the final judgment packet that goes to the judge for signature

Good to Know

• New York allows no-fault divorce — the marriage has been “irretrievably broken” for at least 6 months
• At least one spouse must meet New York's residency requirement
• Court filing fees are set by New York State and paid directly to the county clerk
• Timing varies by county — uncontested cases move as fast as the court's calendar allows
• We prepare documents and guide the process — we cannot give legal advice or represent you in court; contested cases need an attorney

What's Included

• LLC formation — New York Articles of Organization
• Corporation setup — Certificate of Incorporation, C-corp or S-corp
• EIN (federal tax ID) applications with the IRS
• Guidance through New York's LLC newspaper-publication requirement
• Operating agreements and corporate bylaws
• S-corp election paperwork (Form 2553) and sales-tax Certificate of Authority registration
• DBA / assumed-name filings and biennial statement reminders

What to Bring

• Two or three business-name choices — the state requires a distinguishable name
• Photo ID for each owner or member
• A New York business address
• A short description of what the business will do
• Owner details — names, addresses and ownership percentages

How It Works

1. We check name availability with the New York Department of State
2. We prepare and file your formation documents
3. We apply for your EIN so you can open a business bank account and hire
4. We prepare your operating agreement or bylaws
5. We walk you through the LLC publication requirement and any licenses your trade needs
6. You leave with a complete records folder — everything a bank or client might ask for

Good to Know

• New York LLCs must publish formation notices in two newspapers for six weeks and file a Certificate of Publication within 120 days
• New York law requires LLC members to adopt a written operating agreement within 90 days of formation
• An EIN is always free directly from the IRS and is required to open a business bank account
• S-corp status is a tax election with deadlines, not a separate type of company
• Once you're running, we also prepare the business's tax returns — one office for both

What's Included

• 2×2-inch passport photos taken in office, checked against U.S. State Department specs
• Photos for green cards, visas, citizenship and other USCIS applications
• Form DS-11 preparation — first passport, minors, or replacing a lost/stolen passport
• Form DS-82 preparation — eligible renewals by mail
• Appointment prep — what to bring and where to go (acceptance facilities)
• Guidance on expedited processing when you have a travel deadline

What to Bring

• Proof of U.S. citizenship — certified birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or your previous passport
• Valid photo ID — driver's license or state ID
• For minors under 16: both parents present, or Form DS-3053 consent
• Your travel dates, if you need expedited service

How It Works

1. Photos taken and printed in minutes — white background, correct size, no shadows
2. We determine whether you qualify for the mail-in renewal (DS-82) or must appear in person (DS-11)
3. We complete the correct form and check it against State Department rules
4. We assemble your packet — form, photos, citizenship evidence and fee instructions
5. You submit — by mail for renewals, or at an acceptance facility for DS-11
6. Track your application at travel.state.gov

Good to Know

• Since 2016, glasses are not allowed in passport photos
• Processing times change — check travel.state.gov for current routine and expedited times before booking travel
• A passport book works for all travel; the passport card only covers land and sea crossings to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda
• Children's passports are valid 5 years; adult passports 10 years
• Many countries require your passport to be valid 6 months beyond your trip

What's Included

• Certified English–Spanish translations with a signed certificate of accuracy, in the format USCIS requires
• Birth, marriage and divorce certificates; diplomas and school transcripts
• Letters — recommendation, employment verification, landlord/tenant, sworn statements
• Resume writing — new resumes and updates, from entry-level to professional
• Cover letters tailored to the job you're applying for
• Proofreading and formatting for applications, schools and employers

What to Bring

• The original document, or a clear photo or scan of it
• Correct spelling of all names exactly as they appear on IDs
• For resumes: your work history, or your old resume if you have one
• The job posting, if you're targeting a specific position

How It Works

1. Bring the document in, or send it by email or WhatsApp
2. We translate it and format it to mirror the original layout
3. Every translation is double-checked — names, dates and seals matter
4. You receive printed and digital copies with the signed certification
5. For resumes: a short interview, a draft, and revisions until you're happy

Good to Know

• USCIS requires a certified English translation of any foreign-language document — we include the certification
• Short documents are often ready the same day
• You get digital copies you can reuse forever — PDF, and Word for resumes
• Se habla español — bring your documents in either language

What's Included

• New York State unemployment claims — new claims and weekly certifications
• Social Security — retirement applications and replacement cards
• SNAP (food stamps) applications and recertifications through ACCESS HRA
• Medicare enrollment guidance and Medicaid applications
• NYC marriage license application prep
• General benefit paperwork — we read the letters, fill the forms, and organize the proof

What to Bring

• Photo ID and Social Security number
• Proof of address — lease or a utility bill
• Proof of income — pay stubs, benefit letters, or a tax return
• Every letter or notice the agency has sent you
• For marriage licenses: both partners' IDs and any prior divorce decrees

How It Works

1. Tell us which benefit or application you're dealing with
2. We check the program's current requirements together
3. We complete the application accurately — online or on paper
4. We organize your supporting proof so nothing gets rejected for missing pages
5. You submit with confidence — and we help you respond if the agency writes back

Good to Know

• File unemployment the same week you lose your job — waiting can cost you weeks of benefits
• SNAP recertifications have strict deadlines — missing one stops your benefits
• NYC marriage licenses have a 24-hour waiting period after issuance and are valid for 60 days
• Medicare has specific enrollment windows — missing them can mean lifelong late penalties
• Bring every letter the agency sent you — the details matter

What's Included

• Full credit report review — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion side by side
• Dispute letters for inaccurate, outdated or unverifiable items
• Debt-validation letters to collection agencies
• Guidance on fraud alerts and free security freezes
• General education on how credit scores work — utilization, payment history, account age
• Follow-up review after the bureaus respond

What to Bring

• Photo ID and proof of address
• Your credit reports if you have them — or we'll pull free ones together at AnnualCreditReport.com
• Any collection letters or billing statements you're disputing
• Notes on which accounts you believe are wrong, and why

How It Works

1. We pull and read all three reports together
2. We flag errors — wrong balances, accounts that aren't yours, items past the reporting limit
3. We prepare dispute letters under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
4. Bureaus generally must investigate within about 30 days
5. We review the results together and plan the next step

Good to Know

• Everyone can get free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com
• You can dispute errors yourself for free, directly with the bureaus — we help with the paperwork and organization
• No one can legally remove accurate, current negative information — walk away from anyone who promises that
• Most negative items fall off after 7 years; Chapter 7 bankruptcy after 10
• By appointment only — written contract, 3-business-day right to cancel, and no fee until the work is fully performed

What's Included

• Document preparation for personal bankruptcy filings
• We cannot advise you on Chapter 7 vs Chapter 13 — you (or your attorney) decide; we type the forms for the chapter you choose
• The full paperwork — petition, schedules, means-test forms, creditor list
• Organizing your proof — income, debts, assets and expenses
• Where to find the U.S. Trustee's list of approved credit-counseling providers
• A checklist so nothing is missing when you file

What to Bring

• Photo ID and Social Security card
• Six months of pay stubs or proof of income
• Your last two years of tax returns
• A list of everyone you owe — statements, collection letters, judgments
• A list of what you own — vehicles, accounts, valuables
• Any lawsuits, garnishments or repossession notices

How It Works

1. A private appointment where you give us the information for the forms
2. You decide whether to file and under which chapter — we can't advise on that; if you need advice, see a bankruptcy attorney
3. We type the petition and schedules from your information; you review and sign them
4. You complete the required pre-filing credit counseling course
5. You file with the bankruptcy court and receive your case number
6. Questions after filing go to your attorney or the court — we can't give legal advice

Good to Know

• We are a bankruptcy petition preparer (11 U.S.C. §110) — not a law firm
• A credit-counseling course is required before filing, and a debtor-education course after
• Which property you can keep (exemptions) is a legal question — ask a bankruptcy attorney
• Court filing fees are paid directly to the court, never to us
• Bankruptcy help is by appointment only, handled with complete confidentiality — we prepare documents, we don't give legal advice; complex cases belong with an attorney

What's Included

• Complete small-business websites — design, build and launch
• Domain registration and hosting set up in YOUR name — you own it
• Mobile-first design that looks right on phones
• Bilingual English/Spanish versions
• Contact forms, click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons
• Google Business Profile and Maps setup
• Basic SEO — titles, descriptions, sitemap, indexing — plus ongoing updates and maintenance

What to Bring

• Your business name, logo (or we can help create one) and photos
• What services or products you offer
• Contact details, hours and social media links
• Examples of websites you like — optional but helpful

How It Works

1. We sit down and map out what the site needs to do
2. You approve a design direction before we build
3. We build the site and load your real content
4. You review it on your own phone and computer — revisions included
5. We launch, connect Google, and hand you the keys
6. Need changes later? We maintain it — or teach you how

Good to Know

• You own your domain name — it's registered to you, not to us
• A site that isn't mobile-friendly loses most local visitors — everything we build is phone-first
• A free Google Business Profile often matters as much as the website itself for a local shop
• We build and maintain — no long contracts
