How it works

Three steps. No tax-software headache.

You send your documents, a real preparer does the work, and you approve before anything is filed.

01

Send your docs

Upload your W-2s, 1099s, and anything else through a secure link. Takes a few minutes.

02

We prepare it

A credentialed preparer builds your return, finds the deductions you qualify for, and double-checks the math.

03

Review & file

You review the return, ask questions, and approve. We e-file with the IRS. Flat $129.

Who we are

A licensed CPA does your return.

tax129 runs on the work of Paul G. Mazzocco, CPA, CGMA, a dual-licensed CPA with more than thirty years of senior finance experience. Your return is prepared and reviewed by a credentialed professional, not handed off to software.

Paul has spent his career in the numbers that keep businesses running. He started at Deloitte in Chicago, moved into a corporate role at McDonald's Corporation managing acquisitions and internal control, and has served as a controller and chief financial officer across construction, transportation, restaurants, and professional services.

Since 2018 he has run his own independent CPA and fractional CFO practice in San Antonio, Texas. That same standard of work, the kind larger companies pay a full finance team for, is what stands behind every $129 return.
