Secure Upload (Virtual) Prep FAQs
Is Secure Upload safe?
Yes. AmeriFile uses a secure, encrypted upload system to protect your personal and financial information. Your documents are handled with the same care as if you handed them to us in person.
Do I still talk to a real tax professional?
Absolutely. After we prepare your return, an AmeriFile tax expert will call you to review everything before filing. Nothing is submitted without your approval.
Is Secure Upload different from in-person service?
No — the process and expertise are the same. The only difference is how we receive your documents. Your return gets the same full professional review as an in-office or drive-through visit.
Can I still come into the office if I want to?
Of course. Many clients start with Secure Upload and later stop in — or use our drive-through window. AmeriFile gives you options, not pressure.
Do Secure Upload clients get all AmeriFile benefits?
Yes. Secure Upload clients receive all AmeriFile benefits, including:
