Businesses can save up to $2,500 per year with a Rocket Legal+™ membership.

This is in addition to savings on the average cost of 5 hours for document preparation by a non-Rocket Lawyer network attorney at the average attorney hourly rate in the U.S. of $300 (an estimated cost of $1,500 when purchased without any form of Rocket Lawyer membership) compared to unlimited use of customizable business documents for both Rocket Legal+ and Rocket Legal members at no extra cost.

Tax pros are local, US-based CPAs and EAs with a minimum of 5 years of experience and an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars for completed jobs.
During the recruitment process, each tax pro’s experience and specialties are reviewed to understand which types of customers they’d be the best fit for, as well as make sure they can take on all types of tax situations. Tax pros are also required to undergo a background check, as well as provide compliance documents to verify their credentials including a government-issued ID, updated resume, proof of Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN), proof of Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN), and a copy of their EA license (if applicable).
If at any time you’re not satisfied with your tax pro, you can request a reassignment for any reason, no questions asked! And, in the unlikely event your tax pro makes an error, they will correct it at no additional cost, provided the mistake was not due to your own omission or error.
The standard delivery time is 7 days after receiving your tax documents. Need a faster turnaround? For an additional cost your taxes can be ready to sign in as little as one day!
Talk to a tax specialist about our 1-day and 2-day expedited options now (888) 627-1186.
For the fastest refunds, the IRS recommends that you choose “direct deposit” which means your refund will be sent electronically into your financial account. Otherwise, refunds are issued by the IRS on their timeline. The good news is, the faster you file, the faster you’ll get a refund—with a 7-day average turnaround, it doesn’t get much faster than Rocket Tax!
Once you’re a Rocket Tax customer, you will receive notifications by email throughout your filing journey, including when you’re matched with your tax pro, any time your tax pro messages you, when it’s time to RocketSign your tax return, and when your tax return has been filed.
When customizing your tax package, you can also sign up for text message alerts. Or get the Rocket Lawyer mobile app for push notifications. Download it today!
If your taxes are in-progress close to the filing deadline, your tax pro will offer to file an extension for you at no additional cost. Just remember, an extension to file is not an extension to pay—if you owe taxes, you still need to pay by the deadline.
As a reminder, April 15, 2024 for personal taxes and March 15 OR April 15, 2024 for business taxes, depending on the type of business.
If you didn’t pay your taxes and need to catch up, we can also help you file back taxes and get caught up.
To understand your filing deadlines, ask your tax pro or talk to one of our tax specialists at (888) 627-1186.
In order to file a free extension on your behalf, your tax pro will need a few pieces of basic information for you as well as your spouse (if filing jointly) or your business (if filing business taxes). After receiving your info, your tax pro will prepare the extension and ask you to RocketSign. If you are close to the tax deadline, be sure to respond to your tax pro in a timely manner to give the tax pro as much time as possible to get your extension filed before the deadline.
When working with a Rocket Tax Pro, you must begin your filing by April 12th to guarantee that your extension will be filed by the April 15th deadline. If you purchase Rocket Tax after April 12th, our pros will still make every effort to file your extension on time, but that cannot be guaranteed.
For an additional cost your taxes can be ready to sign in as little as one day! Expedited filing services are available until March 8 to meet the March 15 deadline or April 10th to meet the April 18th deadline.
