Austin questions
Asked by your neighbors.
Don't see yours? Ask Kathy or call us.
Do I need to file a Texas state return?
No. Texas has no state income tax on individuals, so most clients here file a federal return only.
My W-2 and 1099-B both show my stock sale. Am I taxed twice?
Not if it's reported correctly. The cost basis on your 1099-B often leaves out income already on your W-2. Your preparer adjusts it so you're taxed once.
Is the AI interviewer accessible?
Yes. Kathy takes spoken answers, reads questions aloud, has no time limit and works with screen readers. You can always switch to a person.
Are you hiring preparers in Austin?
Yes. We're building a remote team of 100 preparers for the 2027 season, and no prior tax experience is required to start training. Apply on our careers page.
