What is ProCheck final review?

Once you've completed your tax return, as part of Final Steps, our ProCheck program will walk you through a final review of your return. You can mark areas of your return you have questions about and a tax pro will help you understand and fix anything so you can file with confidence.

Our ProCheck program reviews your income, businesses, rentals, deductions, credits, and explains your taxes and refunds. Our ProCheck final review also helps you understand your credit for taxes paid to another state if you have income taxed by multiple states.
