Return Dropoff:
You are welcome to drop off your return in the drop box in the back of the building or come inside during office hours. If you choose to come inside, please use the front door if possible. We do have a new tenant in the rear part of the building and their customers utilize the back door.
Tax return pick-ups will be via the front door - one customer at a time. If you would prefer to receive your return via mail or email please let us know when dropping off or include a note in your packet. Electronic copies of your return are encouraged if you have a storage system on your computers. Between the cost of paper and the amount of space paper returns can take up in your home, electronic is the way to go. However, if you are more comfortable with a paper copy, we will, as always accomodate this.
If you feel you need to meet with us to discuss your return, please call the office at 508-987-3600 or email us at customerservice@pbsfinancial.com to either make an appointment for an in person or virtual meeting.
