Cook Fast Tax

Cook Fast Tax prepares and files federal and state income tax returns. Professional tax preparers look for deductions and credits that can lower a tax bill or increase a refund, and returns are filed electronically as early as possible to speed up refunds. Refunds can be paid by direct deposit or electronic refund check. The business also offers cash loans at its locations.

Clients bring their W-2 showing wages earned to get started. A free income tax evaluation is available, and first-time filers without a Social Security number can use a free W-7 processing service to obtain an IRS individual taxpayer identification number. Locations are in Peoria, Pekin and Creve Coeur, including a Peoria office on West Main Street, and some offices offer tax preparation only.
