Complete Tax Preparation:

We will prepare and electronically file your Federal and State returns, and have any refunds deposited directly into your bank account. Refunds are typically deposited 10-14 days from the date of filing or less. No matter which state you live in, we can prepare your return. Our experienced staff will be able to tackle any difficult situation you may have as a flight attendant. We regularly prepare returns which involve the following components:

1. Small Business (Sole Proprietorship, LLC, Partnership, S-Corp)

2. Rental Property

3. Multiple State Returns

4. Foreign Income Exclusions and International Employment

5. Complicated Per Diem Situations relating to Flight Attendant Taxes.

Professional Deductions and Per Diem:

If you have a tax preparer who is familiar with your family tax situation, but is not aware of the specific deductions for airline professionals, FLIGHTAX can calculate your professional deductions, including your per diem allotment and other job related expenses related to your Flight Attendant Taxes. Your per diem allotment is the amount of meal expenses that the government permits you to deduct without receipts. Depending on where you flew, claiming appropriate per diem deductions may save you hundreds or even thousands on your taxes. We will provide you with a completed employee business expense form to incorporate into your return. You will also be provided with the necessary documents to present to the Internal Revenue Service in the event you would be selected for audit.

Amended Returns:

If you have not taken the proper Flight Attendant related tax deductions in past years, we can amend your prior year returns for the past three years, and request an additional refund. FLIGHTAX will not charge you a fee unless amending the return will benefit you substantially. If you are able to receive an additional refund from the IRS, fees will apply. We need a copy of your original return and the original W-2 in order to amend any return. If you do not have a copy, we can help you get one from the IRS. If you are an international Flight Attendant and have not been claiming a per diem deduction, this service is even more likely to benefit you. Call us today or download the Amended Return Organizer!

Each year FLIGHTAX helps over 4,500 clients with their flight attendant taxes. Our client base includes Domestic, International, and Foreign based Flight Attendants.

Each client completes the FLIGHTAX Client Organizer, providing required information for the completion of their per diem calculations, Federal and State returns. This Organizer can be mailed to you, or downloaded from our web site. If a flight attendant has questions concerning the Organizer or their tax situation, we are only a phone call away.  For extra peace of mind, give us a call and we will review everything with you to make sure your Organizer is complete. Once you have your W-2’s and all other requested information, send to us. As a Flight Attendant, you may get a discount on all Federal Express shipments with your airline ID.  The good news is that shipping and mailing costs are deductible on next year’s tax return.

Once we have received all of your documentation, we will contact you if additional information is needed.  With Electronic Filing and Direct Deposit, our preferred method, it is possible to have your refund within 7-10 days of us filing your return.  While there is no fee for Electronic Filing your flight attendant taxes, there will be a charge for paper returns due to additional processing requirements.
