Tax Return Reminder

One of the services provided to you as a client of The Vander Leest & Wenzel Group is a Tax Return Review. While Baird does not prepare tax returns or offer tax or legal advice, our team can review your tax return and ensure the decisions we make together are as proactive and tax efficient as possible.

Simply complete your tax return as you normally would and send us a copy for review - and we will take care of the rest. Here are options to choose from when sending your return:

1. Upload your files securely via Baird Online's Document Exchange.

You can find Document Exchange under the Document's tab.

2. Mail a copy to our office using the return envelope included with the letter you received.

3. Send a copy to us or your advisor via Secure Email.

Please reach out to us to begin a Secure Email exchange. Please do not attach your file to a regular email and send unsecure.

4. Drop off a copy at our office any time during our regular business hours.
