How it works
Five steps, at the office or from anywhere
Every step works in person or online, and your portal shows which one your return is on.
| Step | At the office | Online, from anywhere in the U.S. |
|---|---|---|
| 01Gather | Bring your documents to 636 Chestnut Street, or drop them off. | Upload them to my.bradford.tax from a phone or a computer. We list anything missing. |
| 02Prepare | One person prepares your return and ties every figure to its document. | |
| 03Review | A second person reviews the return before you see it. | |
| 04Deliver | Go through it across the desk, then sign on the office iPad. | Go through it by phone or video, then sign online with an identity check. |
| 05E-filed | We e-file and send you the confirmation. Your copies stay in the portal. | |

What does it cost to have my return prepared?
Each fee is set by the work your return takes — the forms, the entities, the state of your records. We give you a written quote before we start any work, so there are no surprises when the bill comes. Your first conversation is free.
Can you prepare my return if I live outside Ohio?
Yes. Clients anywhere in the United States work with us entirely online: documents through the portal, questions by phone or video, signing with an identity check, and the return e-filed. State returns are prepared for every state you need.
What should I bring?
Last year’s return if we did not prepare it, every W-2, 1099 and 1098 you received, a photo ID, and anything new this year — a home, a business, a child, a move. Once you are a client, the portal shows a checklist of what we still need.
Who reviews my return?
Every return is prepared by one person and reviewed by a second before you see it. You can call either of them with questions.
How do I sign my return?
In person on the office iPad, or online with an identity check — your choice. Nothing is filed until you sign.
I received a letter from the IRS. What should I do?
Do not ignore it, and do not pay or call a number in it until you know what it asks for. Send us a copy through the portal or bring it in. We read it, tell you what it means and when the reply is due, and can answer it for you.
