Digital tax drop-off in Rhode Island
Skip the visit. Send photos of your documents, and sign your finished return from your phone.
How it works
- Snap. Take phone photos of your W-2s, 1099s and photo ID. No scanner needed. Clear photos work fine.
- Answer. Fill out a short questionnaire and upload everything to our secure client portal.
- Joe prepares it. The same preparer, the same return you would get at an appointment.
- Sign from your phone. You review the finished return, sign it, and pay by Venmo or Cash App, or from your refund.

What it costs
A personal return by digital drop-off is $200. New clients pay $150 the first year. A senior or simple return, with retirement or Social Security income, is $100. Each dependent is +$50. Drop-off costs less than an in-person appointment, because you are not using a chair.
Who it is for
Anyone who would rather not spend a weekend hour in an office: people working weekends, people outside Providence, and people who already keep their documents on their phone. You do not need to live in Rhode Island.
The upload link will appear here when drop-off opens for the season.
