This form is sent by the Marketplace to everyone who has medical insurance through the Exchange (Obamacare). It contains necessary information needed to complete your return. If you, your spouse, or any dependent had this insurance for even one month in 2020, this information must be included. Filing a return without this information will cause the IRS to suspend processing the return. They will then send a letter indicating the missing information with instructions on correcting the problem.

Q: How long does it take to prepare a return?

Depending on the complexity of your return, I may be able to complete your return in as little as a few days. If I need additional information or have a backlog of returns I am preparing, it will take longer. However, I will strive to complete most returns within two weeks.

Q: What states can be filed?

Q: How long will it take to get my refund?

More than 90% of the time the IRS will issue a refund in less than 21 days on an e-filed return. (If the return contains an Earned Income or Child Credit, it could take 2-3 weeks longer.) E-filed returns requesting a paper check will take about a week longer.

Q: How do I check on the status of my refund?
