We’ve attempted to explain the major modifiers that impact the price you pay for tax return preparation. However, there are numerous complex items that only impact a very small percentage of our clientele, and an even smaller number of normal taxpayers. Meaning, we haven’t listed every little item that could impact tax return pricing.
If we haven’t listed it, and we deem it is complex (or it is listed, but the issue at hand is more complex than we indicate here), then that service will be completed at hourly rates.
All prices are subject to change depending on the specifics of your tax situation.

All that's left now is an introductory call to confirm your details and make it official.
If you have a complex return, we'd be happy to provide a more detailed quote to ensure you are fully informed of the potential cost to you. Ultimately, your specific tax circumstances dictate the final cost of your tax services.
We love to be transparent when it comes to pricing. That's what you deserve from a tax partner.

Quarterly estimated taxes are an important piece of the tax planning puzzle. If we are completing your tax return, Safe Harbor calculations are included, if required. This method is enough to help avoid penalties from the IRS but does not provide the most accurate estimate.
Whether you file your tax returns with us or somewhere else, we can give you a more precise calculation of estimated taxes. For quarterly estimated taxes calculated based on your current books, the standard range is $250 to $350 per quarter. This will give you a very accurate estimate of your taxes owed so you aren't left with a big surprise when tax season rolls around.
When you have past due or back taxes, we’re required to prepare several years of returns at the same time. Doing this typically means a little extra work than when preparing a single year tax return. You can reasonably estimate the cost of these returns to be the current year rates + 10% for additional time spent.
Note that for any past due tax project, we require a 50% nonrefundable deposit to be paid before we begin the project. As we prepare your returns, we will progress invoice you for them. Your deposit will be applied to your final tax return invoice from us.
If we prepared the return being amended, the cost will be somewhere between 50% to 75% of what the original return cost. This covers updating the return and the return going through the quality control process again.
If we did not prepare the return being amended, the cost will typically be between 70% to 100% of what we would have charged if we had prepared the original return.

For most tax services, payment is due upon completion of your tax return or other service.
Some services, usually projects with a larger scope or longer term, will require a portion of the payment upfront. For more complex returns, you may be progress-billed (billed throughout the completion of your return(s) due to the size of the project).
To learn more, ask an advisor how your services will be billed prior to engagement.
No. But if you ask us, yes.
The truth is, you don't need a tax professional. With that being said, the large majority of business owners benefit greatly from speaking with a tax professional. That's why we always advise business owners, especially new business owners, to hire a CPA to help navigate their tax situation.
