What our Customers are saying

"I was extremely pleased when Richard of Bloch, Rothman & Associates helped me get a second chance to file with the IRS. He answered all my questions promptly and returned phone calls to me in the same manner. He gave me the confidence that my problems would be solved in the best way possible. I am now on Currently Not Collectible status, which means the IRS, can no longer harass me. I would recommend Bloch, Rothman & Associates to others in need of tax help. Thank you so very much for your great services."

Why Should I File Electronically?

By Richard M. Rothman, E.A.

What is Electronic Filing?
After a tax preparer completes the preparation of your tax return, the return information is filed directly with the IRS via computer modem. You receive a hard copy of your return for your records in the traditional format. A form (8453) is sent by us to the IRS with your signature and any W-2's, 1099's, or other necessary attachments. The IRS will acknowledge receipt of your return so that you know it has been filed on time. Occasionally, the IRS will not accept the return and will inform us of the problem (often a social security number mismatch). We can then adjust the return and file it again.
