Your taxes, filed with care.
The Gold Standard Tax Group prepares individual and small business returns, and helps you understand IRS notices and identity theft issues. Tell us what you need and a preparer will reach out.
Every return is different. We can’t promise a particular
refund amount, because it depends on your income, credits and deductions.

I’m Raven, and I’ve spent more than ten years in the financial industry. I started The Gold Standard Tax Group because a tax return does more than settle a year. It shapes what you can do next with your money, and it should be prepared by someone who explains each step.
When you work with us, you get plain explanations, a clear price before you agree to anything, and a preparer who answers your questions.

Questions we hear most
How much does tax preparation cost?
Fees depend on the complexity of your return. We tell you the cost before you agree to any service.
Can I pay my preparation fee from my refund?
Some clients choose to have preparation fees deducted from their refund through a refund transfer product. Availability and any bank fees depend on your return, and we explain the terms before you agree.
How long does it take to get my refund?
Most e-filed returns with direct deposit are processed by the IRS within about 21 days. The IRS sets the timing, so we can’t guarantee it.
