Frequently Asked Questions

General Services

“Can anyone do this, or do I really need help?”
Many people can complete forms on their own. However, problems often arise when requirements vary by jurisdiction, information is incomplete, or paperwork is filed incorrectly. Experience helps anticipate issues before they cause delays.

​

“If I pay for a service, will the process move faster?”
Processing times are determined by government agencies, not us. Our role is to ensure everything is prepared and submitted correctly.

​

“Why do requirements change between city, county, and state?”
Each jurisdiction has its own rules, forms, and approval process. Compliance with one doesn’t guarantee compliance with all.

​

“Do you provide legal advice or representation?”
No. ALAMO MULTI SERVICES is not a law firm. We assist with document preparation, filing, translations, and notary services.

​

“Do you work in English and Spanish?”
Yes. All services are provided fully in both languages.

​

“Do I need an appointment?”
Yes. We work by appointment only to protect confidentiality and give each client full attention.

Tax Preparation — Year-Round

“Do you only prepare taxes during tax season?”
No. We provide tax preparation and support year-round for corrections, extensions, questions, or notices.

“I already filed somewhere else. Can you still help?”
Yes. We review situations filed incorrectly or incompletely and explain your options.

​

“What if I made mistakes filing on my own or with family?”
Very common. We regularly assist clients who discover issues after using online tools or well-meaning family.

​

“How do recent tax law changes affect me?”
We review your specific information and apply current rules accurately—no assumptions.

​

“Will new tax laws help everyone?”
No. Changes affect people differently based on income, family, and business activity.

​

“Can you predict my exact tax outcome?”
We explain rules based on your info, but final outcomes depend on agency review. We focus on compliance.

​

Business Licensing & Entity Formation

“Is one business license enough?”
Often no. Depending on activity and location, you may need licenses from state, county, city, or agencies.

​

“Can I form an entity online and handle licensing later?”
You can, but this often causes delays without understanding local requirements. Formation and licensing work together.

​

“Do you tell me which entity is ‘best’?”
We explain how entities function and align paperwork with your activity. We don’t provide legal advice.

Notary, Translations & Apostilles

“Do translated documents need certification?”
Many agencies require it. We include proper certification language with our translations.

​

“Does a child travel authorization need notarization?”
Requirements vary by destination. A notarized document often prevents complications.

​

“How long do apostilles take?”
Timelines depend on the issuing authority. We explain the process.
