Honest Fit Check

Who this is — and isn't — for.

Read both columns. Find yourself in one of them. If you're in the right column, the $99 will be one of the better tax decisions you make this year. If you're in the left column, save your money and we'll talk about what actually fits.

This is for you if…

  • You're a W-2 earner with a side gig and wonder if you're tracking deductions correctly
  • You own a small business and feel like you're winging it on quarterly estimates
  • You got hit with a bigger tax bill than expected and want to know why before it happens again
  • You're clergy with housing allowance, dual-status, or SECA questions
  • You're considering S-Corp election and wondering if it actually makes sense for you yet
  • Life changed this year — new home, new kid, new freelance income, new state — and you don't know what changes with it
  • You've been DIY-filing and have a nagging sense you're leaving money on the table

This isn't the right fit if…

  • You want me to actually file your taxes — that's a subscription, starting at $40/mo (Foundation tier)
  • You only have one specific question — the Tax Clarity Call at $49 is the better fit
  • You're under IRS audit or representation — that's a different engagement; book a free 15-min call first
  • You need a multi-year strategic plan — that's the Growth Partner tier, ongoing relationship
  • You're looking for the cheapest option available — friend, this might not be it, and that's okay

Questions Worth Asking

The fine print, up front.

Yes. The Tax Review Action Plan is a real, signed document with my EA credentials on it — that's the highest credential the IRS issues. The only thing this engagement isn't is actually filing your return for you. That's the subscription tiers.

Then you'll know that after the call, and we'll talk about what comes next. The $99 isn't wasted — the action plan still gets delivered, and now you have a real roadmap. If we decide ongoing work makes sense, the Compliance Partner tier ($175/mo founder) or Growth Partner tier ($425/mo founder) cover bookkeeping plus tax filing plus quarterly check-ins.

We can still talk strategy, but the review part is harder without it. If you filed online, you can usually download a PDF from whoever you used. If you used a paid preparer, request a copy from them — they're required to give it to you. If you really can't find it, we'll do what we can with what you've got.

Yes. If you start a subscription tier within 30 days of your Tax Review, the $99 is credited toward your first month. That means for most clients, the Review effectively becomes free if you decide we're a good ongoing fit.

If within the first 10 minutes of our call you realize this isn't what you needed, tell me. I'll refund the $99 in full and we'll part as friends. I'd rather give you your money back than have you feel like you wasted it.

Within 48 hours of our call. Most weeks I deliver next-day. The promise is 48 because I'd rather over-deliver than miss it.

Me. Common Tax is a solo practice. You get me on the call. I write the plan myself. No handoff to an associate. That's part of what you're paying for.

Stop wondering.
Get a plan.

$99 once. 60 minutes with Jerry. A written plan in your inbox within 48 hours. Worst case, you learn the system is treating you fairly. Best case, you find a few thousand dollars you didn't know you were leaving on the table.
