Personalized tax prep
01.
A clear plan for your return
We start by learning about your finances and laying out a clear path to filing your return. You upload your documents through our secure client portal.
02.
Review and filing
We prepare your federal and state returns, and you review and approve them online before we file them for you.
03.
Audit protection included
Audit protection is included with every return we prepare. It covers the federal and state returns we prepared when you receive a notice or are selected for an audit.
Flexible service levels
We help hundreds of businesses every year with their taxes. Every plan includes the same careful return preparation, and you choose how much contact and planning you want during the year. The table below shows what each level adds.
The Red Door Service
Every return we prepare comes with the same care, whether you work with us online or in person.
Here is what you can expect with Red Door Taxes:
Customer service: You hear from us from the first document to the filed return
Online or in person: Choose the experience that fits you, with the same preparer either way
Federal and state returns: Both prepared with care and accuracy, with the deductions you are entitled to
Secure client portal: Send us your documents and receive your completed return through your secure client portal
Review and e-sign: Review your completed return with us, ask your final questions, and sign electronically
Audit protection: Included with every return we prepare, so you are not on your own if the IRS or the state has questions
Bronze, Silver, and Gold
Every engagement starts with the Red Door Service. When you sign for the year, you choose the level of contact that fits your situation, and that choice sets how often you hear from us and how much planning we do together.
What changes from level to level:
Regular check-ins: Scheduled at the level you choose when you sign, from a single review of your return to recurring meetings through the year
Year-round support: Email access to the team all year on every plan, with meetings set by the level you choose
Gold: Tax planning and advisory led by Ryan throughout the year, and Ryan prepares your return as part of the plan
Year-round Tax Advisory
A tax return is an autopsy; the year is already over. Tax planning is preventive medicine. Silver and Gold clients get it during the year, while there is still time to change the outcome.
Here is what you can expect:
Regular check-ins: We review where the year stands at the cadence you chose when you signed, and adjust the plan as it unfolds
Estimated payments: Help setting and adjusting your quarterly estimates, so April holds fewer surprises
Big decisions, before you make them: An equipment purchase, an entity change, a hire, or a year that is running hot. Check in with us first, and we will run the numbers
Ongoing support: Email access to the team all year, with calls and meetings at the level that matches your engagement
What each plan includes
Every plan starts with the Red Door Service. A check means the plan includes the item, so you can see at a glance what you add when you move from Bronze to Silver to Gold.

We quote your fee before you sign. Half is due as a deposit when you sign, and the balance is due when your return is complete. To keep your place in line, we need your documents 30 days before your filing deadline. Bronze returns are prepared after Silver and Gold, so you should expect a Bronze return to be filed under an extension.
About Red Door
I started Red Door Taxes because my first tax preparer explained nothing to me as a new business owner. Nobody told me about write-offs, business structure, or how to avoid a big bill in April, so I took accounting classes to learn it myself. I have prepared taxes professionally since 2011 and have been an Enrolled Agent since 2017. In our opinion, you should understand your own return, and we explain it until you do.
Meet the team
Ryan of Red Door Taxes is the best tax preparer I have ever used. He provides professional, knowledgeable service that inspires confidence. I have relied on him for years and highly recommend him for both business and personal tax needs.
Ryan has been doing our taxes for a few years now. He takes the time to understand our family goals and uses his expertise to ensure our returns are tailored to our needs. You simply can't go wrong with Ryan; he has earned our highest recommendation!
As an Enrolled Agent, Ryan is extremely knowledgeable about the specific deductions our family was eligible for and helped us navigate tax implications from home sales and investments. He answered all our questions, referencing the applicable rules, and provided future planning advice.
