Longer Version
Step 1: Fill out our 5 minute Personal Tax Return Questionnaire Form Online
Fill out the 5 minute tax return questionnaire (link). This provides an overview of any changes or items we need to be aware of for tax preparation and helps reduce back and forth questions.
Once we have received the questionnaire, we will send you an email checklist with a secure link to upload your tax documents and a pdf copy of your tax organizer. Please allow a few business days to receive your tax organizer and Sharefile link to upload your documents.
Step 2: Review & Gather
Review the tax organizer (if applicable). The tax organizer DOES NOT need to be filled out, but only meant to be used as a quick guide to see what documents/vendors were included in your tax return last year.
For first year clients, we cannot provide an organizer as the organizer is built from our tax software based upon the prior year return.
Remember many platforms (banks/ investments) will have your tax documents online if you did not receive a physical form.
Tip: If you want to create a digital record of your tax documents, you can use a free scan app like Genius Scan to easily create pdf documents from physical forms via your phone.
Step 3: Upload, Mail, or Drop Off
If you’d like to upload your tax documents digitally, we will create a secure link to upload copies of any tax documents received. We will send this link via email using our checklist system called Karbon.
If you prefer to mail your tax documents, you can mail to our office at:
TH3 CPA 7791 Cooper Rd, Suite F, Cincinnati, OH 45242.
Step 4: Questions and Additional Items Needed
We will work through the documents we receive and compare it to your tax organizer to ensure we have the documents needed (compared to last year).
We will send you another checklist for items still needed and additional questions we have.
Step 5: Filing and Payments
We will prepare and review your tax return and send the return to you for your review and digital signature. If there are returns that do not enable e-signature (example Ohio city returns/ Kentucky county returns), we will mail these to you with instructions on signing, sending, and payment.

Our Tax Season Flow:
January- 1099 Filings
February- Business Tax Filings (Due March 15th / Gathering Personal Tax Documents
March- Business Tax Filings / Personal Tax Preparation
April- Personal Tax Preparation
May-October- Extended tax return filings
As always, if there is an immediate need completing your 2023 tax return at an earlier date, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.
We do utilize tax extensions. Tax extensions simply allow us more time to prepare returns and do not incur any negative consequences. Tax balances are due on April 15th. With an extension, the filing due date is October 15th. We seek to get out as many returns as possible by the April 15th due date, however, if you know you’d need your return completed by that date for other life events (buying a home/ loans etc), please let us know and we will seek to expedite it for you.
