Our Promise to You

Two Straightforward
Commitments

🎯
Deduction Diligence Promise

We work through your full financial picture line by line, checking it against every credit and deduction you may qualify for. If a licensed competitor later identifies an additional deduction we missed using the same documents you gave us, we'll refund our preparation fee for that return.

Applies to returns prepared and filed by Aafam Link LLC. Requires the competing preparer's documentation for comparison. Ask your preparer for full details.

🛡️
Accuracy Commitment

Every return is reviewed for accuracy before it's filed. In the rare event we make a calculation error, we'll correct your return at no charge and cover any IRS penalty or interest that is directly attributable to our mistake.

Does not cover penalties resulting from incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the client. Full terms available upon request.

File Your Taxes

Every Way to File,
Handled by a Pro

Filing on time, filing late, filing for more time, or fixing a return you already sent — Aafam Link LLC handles every path to getting it done right.

Full-Service Filing

File with a Tax Pro

Sit down with a dedicated preparer — in person in Newport News or virtually from anywhere — and hand off your return entirely. We review your full financial picture, ask the right questions, and prepare a return built to withstand IRS scrutiny while capturing every dollar you're owed.

  • Individual, business, and self-employed returns
  • Every credit and deduction checked line by line
  • E-filed directly to the IRS and state, with confirmation delivered to you
Book an Appointment → First-time consultations are complimentary.
Need More Time

File an Extension

Not ready by the deadline? We file Form 4868 on your behalf, giving you an automatic 6-month extension to submit your individual return — no reason required.

  • Extends your filing deadline to October 15 — it does not extend the deadline to pay what you owe
  • We estimate your liability so you can pay by the original due date and avoid failure-to-pay penalties and interest
  • Business extensions (Form 7004) are available for LLCs, S-Corps, and partnerships too
Request an Extension → Fastest results when requested before your filing deadline.
Fix a Filed Return

File an Amendment

Already filed but need to correct something? We prepare Form 1040-X to fix errors or claim what you missed on a return you already submitted.

  • Common reasons: missed income, an overlooked deduction or credit, a filing status change, or a dependent added or removed
  • Generally must be filed within 3 years of your original filing date, or 2 years from when you paid the tax — whichever is later
  • We'll tell you upfront whether amending is likely to help before we start

Upload Documents Online

For your security, we don't accept sensitive documents like W-2s, 1099s, or ID scans through this website form. Instead, tell us you're ready and we'll text or email you a link to our encrypted client portal within one business day.

  • Bank-level encrypted upload — nothing sits in an inbox
  • Upload from your phone or computer, any time
  • Your preparer is notified the moment your documents arrive
Resolve Tax Issues

IRS Problems Don't
Fix Themselves

Unfiled returns, notices, audits — the longer they sit, the more they cost. We step in, deal with the IRS directly, and get you back to current.

Unfiled Returns

Back Taxes

Missed a year — or several? You're not alone, and it's fixable. We reconstruct missing records where needed, prepare every outstanding return, and get you compliant with the IRS again.

  • Failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties keep growing the longer a return sits unfiled — filing stops the bleeding
  • We request wage and income transcripts directly from the IRS if you're missing old documents
  • First-time penalty abatement and payment plans are often available once you're caught up
Get Compliant →
What We Handle
  • Multi-year unfiled individual & business returns
  • IRS wage & income transcript requests
  • Penalty abatement requests
  • Installment agreements & payment plans
Notices & Correspondence

IRS Letters

An IRS letter isn't automatically bad news — but it always deserves a response. We read it, explain in plain English what it's asking for, and respond on your behalf by the deadline it lists.

  • CP2000 — income reported to the IRS doesn't match your return
  • CP14 / CP501 / CP503 — balance due and collection follow-ups
  • Audit or examination letters — the IRS wants to review a specific return

Don't respond on your own and don't ignore it — missed deadlines narrow your options fast.

Get Help With a Letter → 📞 Call Now
Before You Call the IRS
  • Don't ignore the letter — note the response deadline first
  • Don't pay or agree to anything before we've reviewed it
  • Send us a photo or scan of every page, front and back
  • We can request additional time to respond if needed
Starting or Formalizing a Business

EIN & Business Registration

Need an Employer Identification Number, or ready to formally register your business? We handle the paperwork with the IRS and your state so you can focus on running the business, not chasing forms.

  • We prepare and file your EIN application (Form SS-4) directly with the IRS
  • Business entity registration guidance for LLCs, S-Corps, and partnerships
  • Help correcting or updating an existing EIN record with the IRS
  • Guidance on which entity type fits your situation before you register

What You'll Need
  • Legal business name & entity type
  • Responsible party's name & SSN or ITIN

Taxable income—

Est. Child Tax Credit—
Estimated Refund—

Estimate only, based on 2025 standard deduction & federal brackets. Does not include state tax, EITC, or most other credits. Book an appointment for an accurate number.

Estimated EITC—

Based on approximate 2025 IRS parameters. Investment income over the annual limit, and several other rules, can disqualify a filer entirely — this tool doesn't check those. Confirm eligibility with your preparer.

Taxable estate—
Estimated federal estate tax—

Uses the 2025 federal exemption ($13.99M per person) and the top 40% marginal rate as a simplified estimate. Virginia levies no separate state estate tax; other states may. Estate planning is highly fact-specific — treat this as a rough starting point only.

Guide

Self-Employment Tax

If you work for yourself, you pay both halves of Social Security and Medicare tax that an employer would normally split with you — that's the self-employment (SE) tax, currently 15.3% combined.

  • 12.4% Social Security, applied to net earnings up to the annual wage base ($176,100 for 2025)
  • 2.9% Medicare, applied to all net earnings with no cap
  • An extra 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax applies above $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly)
  • SE tax is calculated on 92.35% of your net profit, and half of what you pay is deductible against your income
  • If you expect to owe $1,000 or more, the IRS expects quarterly estimated payments

Common Questions

Before You Book

What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring a photo ID, Social Security cards for you and any dependents, last year's return if you have it, and your income documents — W-2s, 1099s, or self-employment records. We'll send a personalized checklist once your appointment is confirmed.
Can I drop off my documents instead of sitting through an appointment?
Yes. Drop-off service is available — leave your documents with us and we'll prepare your return, then call you to review it before filing. Ask about drop-off when you book.
Do you prepare returns for people who haven't filed in prior years?
We do. Back-tax filing and catching up on missed years is one of our most requested services — we'll help you get current with the IRS.
Do you offer virtual or remote appointments?
Yes. We serve clients throughout Hampton Roads and across the United States through secure virtual consultations and document upload, in addition to in-person visits.
What happens if I get a letter from the IRS after filing with you?
Reach out right away — we'll review the notice with you, explain what it's asking for, and guide you through the response.
How much does tax preparation cost?
Pricing depends on the complexity of your return. We provide a clear quote before any work begins — no surprise fees.
