Frequently asked questions
How does Clear1040 work?
You share your documents and information, a tax professional prepares and reviews your return, you review and approve it, and the approved return is then filed.
Will a tax professional review my return?
Yes. Returns are prepared and reviewed by qualified tax professionals before they are sent to you for approval.
Can I review my return before it is filed?
Yes. The completed return is provided to you for review, and filing proceeds only after you confirm your approval.
Which returns can Clear1040 prepare?
Clear1040 supports federal and applicable state individual tax return preparation. Texas does not impose an individual state income tax, but Texas residents may still have filing obligations in other states depending on their circumstances. Multi-state, nonresident, foreign-income and other complex matters are subject to initial assessment.
Who prepares and reviews the return?
Return preparation may involve Clear1040 personnel, authorised support personnel located in India and, where required by the accepted service scope, external CPAs or enrolled agents. The applicable preparation and review arrangements are confirmed as part of the service. Where legally required, Clear1040 will obtain the taxpayer's specific consent before tax return information is disclosed to personnel or service providers outside the United States.
What documents will I need?
This depends on your situation. After you get in touch, our team will tell you which documents are relevant for your filing requirement.
Is Clear1040 suitable for every tax situation?
Not necessarily. Service availability and filing eligibility are reviewed case by case, and we will tell you if your situation is outside our current scope.
When will the online filing portal be available?
