I have spent more than 12 years in accounting, preparing individual and business returns in-house and running the books for a multi-entity company. Refund Harbor exists because a simple return should not cost 200 dollars or require an office visit. You upload your documents, I prepare and review your return personally, you approve it, and your refund heads for your bank.
See the full background on LinkedIn →Really $49.99 for a simple federal W-2 return, and the price is guaranteed in writing before we start. If your situation turns out more complex, for example self-employment income, rental property, or investments, we quote the difference upfront and you decide before any work happens. You never get a surprise bill.
A real, IRS-registered tax preparer, not software alone and not an offshore data mill. Every return is prepared and reviewed by a preparer holding a current IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number, and your return is filed electronically with the IRS.
Most electronically filed returns with direct deposit are paid by the IRS within 21 days. We file within 1 to 2 business days of your approval, so the clock starts almost immediately.
We handle those too, including multiple W-2s, unemployment income, student loan interest, and more. Start the questionnaire and it walks you through exactly what applies to you, with a clear flat quote before anything is prepared.
We retain your return as required by IRS regulations, keep it encrypted, and never sell or share your information with anyone. Ever. Your data exists to file your taxes, that is it.
Yes. The secure portal works right in your phone or tablet browser. Snap photos of your documents, answer the questionnaire, review, and approve, all from the couch.
No. You review and approve your return electronically, we file electronically, and your completed copy lives in your portal as a PDF you can download anytime.
If you remember before approving your return, just upload it and we update everything at no charge. If it turns up after filing, we prepare an amended return for a small flat fee quoted upfront.
Yes. If we ever make an error, the amendment is free, that is written into our terms. If your situation changes or a document arrives late, we quote a flat fee for the amendment before doing anything.
We cap the early-bird list so every return receives personal attention. Sign up now, lock in the $49.99 rate, and your secure portal invite arrives before the filing season opens.
No spam. No obligation. Just a spot on the list.
