Before your appointment

Tick off your year. We’ll tally up what to bring.

Jerrad enjoyed finding ways to maximize his own tax refund and started Hume’s to help others do the same. It begins with the right papers on the desk. Choose what applies and your checklist prints on the tape.

This year…

Not sure? Bring it anyway. Your preparer will sort it out with you.

From our Google reviews

“Fast and friendly service at a very affordable price.”

A few words from Lawrence clients, quoted as they wrote them.

I was attending KU. Looking for a reputable tax office to file my taxes. ( did not know anything about taxes.) Walked in to their office & Cameron went above & beyond to help, left confident & secure. Even when finished college my family & I always still have Hume’s to do everything. ( 10 plus yrs. ) Thank you Cameron.

This was my first time here and Isaac G. was fantastic; I was informed of the amount of my return and when I would receive it in less than 10 minutes. Would definitely recommend!
