How it works from southern Dallas County
- Every credit you qualify for checked, including the Earned Income Credit and Child Tax Credit
- I'm based in Houston and work with southern Dallas County clients by video call only, so there's no office visit.
- You upload documents to an encrypted portal from your phone, and sign your return electronically.
- Same flat fees as in Houston, quoted before I start.

- Families: I check the Earned Income Credit, Child Tax Credit and child care credit on every family return.
- No Texas income tax: your return is federal only.
