Our experience has taught us that good record keeping and access to data is critical to supporting a claim and maximizing a refund. It stands to reason that the sooner we can engage a client, the better the chance that the client will be able to retrieve the data necessary to substantiate a claim. As such, it is a good idea to get started sooner rather than later. The longer you wait the more difficult it may be to access the necessary information.
