Why Have Vision-Tax Assess Your Prior Returns?

Millions of dollars in unclaimed tax credits expire every year because filers assumed software like TurboTax handled everything properly. Off-the-shelf software cannot handle non-resident treaty provisions, multi-state moves, or complex stock vesting schedules.

  • Zero Risk Diagnostic: If we review your returns and find no errors or additional refunds, our review is 100% free of charge.
  • Average Recovery: Clients who amend with Vision-Tax recover an average of $2,400 to $6,500 in additional refunds.
  • State Return Adjustments: Amending federal return automatically allows you to amend state tax returns for additional state cash refunds.
