How it works
- Start with a paid trial: your first five returns at card rates, with no further commitment.
- Send each job on one short work order with the client code, return, due date and reviewer.
- We work in your software. CCH Axcess, GoSystem, Drake and SurePrep today; other platforms after a two-hour paid setup.
- Returns come back five business days after we have everything on our intake list, and review notes are cleared within two. Rush delivery in under three business days is 30% extra.
- Invoices go out on the 1st and 16th, paid by ACH, net 15.

Questions firms ask
Who signs the returns?
Your reviewer does. Our preparers are non-signing preparers with PTINs, working under Cody's review.
Do you send work offshore?
No. Everyone works in the United States, so your clients' SSNs never leave the country and no offshore-disclosure consent is needed. Your firm's usual section 7216 consent still applies to outside help.
What software do you use?
CCH Axcess, GoSystem, Drake and SurePrep today. Other platforms take a two-hour paid setup.
How fast is turnaround?
Five business days after we have everything on our intake list, with review notes cleared in two. Rush delivery in under three business days is 30% extra.
Will you contact my clients?
Only when you ask us to, and we don't solicit them. The non-solicit is mutual and in writing.
Are you a CPA firm?
No. Ring Tax is an Enrolled Agent firm, and Cody Ring is enrolled to practice before the IRS. We don't perform attest work.
