YXAG transmits your return to the IRS. You receive an acceptance confirmation in your secure portal within 24-48 hours.
The IRS accepts your return for processing. "Where's My Refund" shows "Return Received." If rejected, we resolve and re-file immediately.
The IRS reviews your return. Most refunds approved within 21 days of e-filing if there are no errors and you chose direct deposit.
Direct deposit refunds typically arrive within 1-5 business days after approval. Paper checks take 4-6 weeks by mail.
After you sign your engagement letter, YXAG sends a secure portal invitation to the email address on file. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for a message from YXAG with subject line "Your YXAG Portal Access."
Click the link in the email to create a password and enable multi-factor authentication. The setup takes under 3 minutes.
Drag and drop your W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, and other tax documents into your secure portal folders. We'll be notified automatically when new files arrive.
Once your return is ready, we'll send it to you through the portal for review. Sign Form 8879 with your finger or mouse, and we'll e-file the same day.
If you've forgotten your password, never received an invitation email, or are running into technical issues, we're here to help. Reach out and we'll get you sorted within one business day.
A note on your security: YXAG will never request your portal password by email, text message, or unsolicited phone call. The IRS does not initiate contact through email, text, or social media to ask for personal or financial information. If you receive a message that appears to come from YXAG or the IRS and asks for sensitive information, please do not reply or click any links — instead, contact us directly at the phone number listed above so we can verify the request.
For real-time tax return processing status, only the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool and your IRS Online Account provide authoritative information. YXAG does not have access to live IRS systems and cannot show real-time status outside of these official tools.
