We take the security of your personal information seriously. To stay ahead in an increasingly complex digital world, we have created a secure document portal for your convenience. Documents uploaded to this portal are fully encrypted, ensuring the confidentiality of your information. This is a more secure method of electronic file sharing than email.
In addition to providing hard copies of your tax-related documents, you are welcome to upload your documents to our portal at any time. We will receive an automated email notification to let us know that you have uploaded documents for us to access. We can also share documents with you this way.
