FAQ

It’s best to start organizing your documents and financial records as early as possible, ideally in January or February. Early preparation helps avoid last-minute stress, ensures all deductions and credits are captured, and gives you more time to resolve any issues before the filing deadline.

You’ll need your valid ID, Social Security cards for yourself and dependents, W-2 or 1099 forms, proof of income, receipts for deductible expenses, and last year’s tax return. If you’re a business owner, also include income statements, expense reports, and bank records.

Refund timing depends on how you file. Electronic filing with direct deposit usually takes 7–21 days, while paper returns can take several weeks. C&J's Tax Services ensures your return is filed accurately and quickly, helping you receive your refund as soon as possible.
