About us
Deziel's has been serving taxpayers in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul since 1991. We specialize in self-employed and small-business tax returns for artists, writers, musicians, performers, and related production workers. We also do returns for many other independent businesses.
Resources
The IRS is intensifying compliance pressure on businesses and property owners. Learn critical filing deadlines, penalties, and reporting requirements for 1099s and 1099-MISC forms, plus essential mailing information for Minnesota filers.
If you paid wages to employees, you must file W-2s by January 31st. Discover critical filing deadlines, proper mailing procedures, e-filing options, and Minnesota-specific requirements to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.
Refunds
In prior years the IRS would give an expected day for your refund to arrive. With recent changes the only thing they are saying is that it should come in about 3 weeks. Minnesota should be more prompt.
Common questions
No — the portal is completely optional. You can still drop off your documents in person, mail them, or email them to us just like before. The portal is simply another way to get your documents to us, especially if you're collecting items over time and want to send them as you find them.
Once you're set up, it's straightforward — if you can attach a file to an email, you can use the portal. The sign-up process does take a few steps, though. For security reasons (to keep spammers out and your information safe), you'll exchange a few emails with us before your account is approved. This is normal. If something isn't working or you hit a glitch, just call us and we'll sort it out. Once you're in, uploading documents is as simple as clicking Upload and selecting your files.
Yes. Your documents are stored securely and are only visible to you and your assigned preparer. We use the same security standards that banks and financial institutions use. No one else can see your files or messages.
During tax season (January 15 – April 15), your assigned preparer will respond. If you haven't been assigned a preparer yet, we'll assign one when we receive your documents. Outside of tax season, Mark or Mike will respond to any questions.
After logging in, click the Upload Files tab. You can select files from your computer or phone, or take a photo of a document directly. Upload as many files as you need — you don't have to send everything at once.
Call us. Our staff can help with most questions, and if there's a technical issue they can't solve, we have support available to troubleshoot.
Absolutely. The portal is just one more way to reach us — it doesn't replace phone or email. Use whatever works best for you.
