Calder & Moss CPAs keeps the numbers for households and small businesses in and around Boise. We work from one office, answer the phone ourselves, and quote every job as a fixed fee before it starts. Clients send their documents through a secure portal or drop them at the front desk. We read last year's return first, so nothing is missed this year, and we plan next year's estimated payments before this year is filed. In the weeks before April we still reply within two business days. When the IRS or the state sends a letter, we read it with you and answer it for you. Next year starts with this year's file already open. Ask for a quote today.

Questions

What do I bring to the first meeting?

Last year's return, this year's W-2s and 1099s, and anything the IRS or the state has mailed you. We send a checklist when you book.

Do I have to come in?

No. Most clients upload documents to our secure portal and sign returns electronically. Meetings can be in the office or by video.

Can you file last year's return late?

Yes. We file late returns for any year, work out the penalties, and ask the IRS to remove them where the rules allow.

I got a letter from the IRS. Now what?

Don't ignore it and don't pay it yet. Send us a photo; most letters are answered within a week for $150.

When will my return be done?

Within three weeks of receiving all your documents, and within ten business days outside the spring rush.

Do you work with businesses outside Boise?

Yes, anywhere in the state, and federal returns for clients who have moved away.
