About

Small Businesses, Individuals and Families: Welcome!

Singles

If you're a single taxpayer, you'll file form 1040. If you itemize, you'll use Schedule A. The standard deduction is $13,850. Don't worry, we're here to guide you through the process.

Head of Household

If you're unmarried with dependents, you'll file as Head of Household (HOH). If you itemize, you'll use Schedule A. But don't worry if you don't itemize, the standard deduction is $20,800. We're here to help you navigate this process.

Families

For couples, you have the option to file as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ), or Separately (MFS). The standard deduction for MFJ who do not itemize is $27,700, or $13,850 for MFS. We can help you decide what's best for your situation.

Rental Properties

If you're a taxpayer with rental properties but not a realtor, you'll file form 1040 with Schedule E. And guess what? We have special discount coupons available for you!

Active Military/Clergy

To our active military personnel and clergy members, we appreciate your service! Special discount coupons are available just for you.

Sole Proprietors

Running your own business? You'll file form 1040 with schedule C. We're here to make the process as smooth as possible for you.

Partnerships

For partnerships, you're considered pass-through entities that file Form 1065. The entity issues Schedule K-1 to the general partner and/or limited partners. We can help you navigate these complexities.

S-Corporations

S-Corporations are also pass-through entities that file form 1120-S. The entity issues Schedule K-1 to all shareholders. We're here to assist you every step of the way.

About Us

Welcome to EV Consulting, Inc (EVCI)! We're a Texas-based S-Corporation established in 1997, originally providing consulting services to the oil & gas industry. In 2020, we expanded our horizons and created EV-Taxes4U, a dedicated branch for helping individuals, families, and entities like Partnerships and S-Corps prepare and e-file their tax returns with the IRS.

We're fully registered with the IRS, holding active PTIN and EFIN. Our President, Ernesto Valenzuela, is a certified Sr Tax Analyst who diligently meets the IRS's Continuing Education (CE) requirements of 18 hours each year, including refresher hours.

In 2022, Ernesto went above and beyond, completing 64 hours of CE, covering practical cases on active military, clergy, rental properties, and sole proprietors, as well as entities such as partnerships, S-corporations, estates, and trusts. We're always learning to serve you better!

EPS Financial Bank Products

Towards the end of the tax preparation process, usually, the taxpayer directs the IRS to either send a check or to make a direct deposit for the refund to one, two, or three different accounts; then, the taxpayer monitors the IRS about the refund using the "Where's My Refund?" tool which can be found in the IRS website (irs.gov). The taxpayer pays the prep fees directly to the tax preparer by either cash or credit card (no personal checks accepted).

Refund Transfer

If the taxpayer wants the prep fees to be paid using the refund, EVCI offers (for a fee) a bank product called a "refund transfer." This option is also called "zero-out-of-pocket" or "E-Collect" because the tax preparer is paid through the bank and not directly from the taxpayer. Then, the taxpayer receives the net refund via either check or direct deposit from the bank (not the IRS).

Terms and Conditions

Refund Advance

If the taxpayer desires to receive a faster refund (usually in 24-48 hours) EVCI offers a "refund advance" option. This option offers advances from $250 to $6,000. Advances up to $1,000 are also called "no-cost" because there are no bank fees or interest rates charged to the taxpayer. The bank charges interest on advances over $1,000. Then, the taxpayer receives the advance via either check or direct deposit as described below.

EPS Checks

EVCI prints a secure check (for the refund amount minus prep fees and bank fees) the taxpayer can pick up at their convenience and then either deposit in a bank account or cash at one of 10,000 locations nationwide, such as Walmart or 7-Eleven. A toll-free verification number and website address are printed on all checks, enabling check verification 24-hours a day.

Direct Deposit

The taxpayer receives the net refund (refund minus prep fees and bank fees), in the bank account the taxpayer tells the tax preparer to deposit the refund, giving them immediate and convenient access to their funds.

Free Taxes Online

Free tax services for simple 1040 cases (Gross income < $73,000). For other cases, prices depend on the number of Forms and the complexity of the return, which requires finding any combination of discounts and, or credits that provides the maximum refund for the taxpayer within the tax laws, that is, every dollar you are entitled to in your refund. Entities (Partnerships and S-corp) get a $100 discount.
