In general, here’s what you can expect; our minimum fee starts at $ 100. This applies to a basic tax return with W-2 and/or retirement income, standard deduction and no additional schedules (see below for fees for dependents/high school/college students).
For our current clients paying below the base rate of $ 100 for this type of return, your fee will be adjusted gradually over the next several seasons to bring you up to the base rate. Although we understand the difficulty of a larger cost increase, our minimum fee needs to cover the time your appointment takes in our schedule.
A form 1040 with W-2 and/or retirement income plus itemized deductions starts at $ 225. Additional schedules for capital gains, self employment income, rental properties, etc will increase the cost accordingly.

Every tax return is unique. We try to price each return fairly, but variables such as disorganized or missing paperwork, a high volume of W-2’s, 1099’s, stock transactions, etc will impact the cost of your return.
These are general guidelines and can be impacted by a variety of situations. Each return will include electronic filing, a federal return and one state return, as well as an electronic copy and hard copy. Additional states may increase the cost.
Thank you for your understanding while we continue to work hard to provide a great service at a fair price.
If you are bringing documents to have a dependents tax return prepared and you are a current client, the fee will start at $35 for a high school student with a W-2. For a high school student with a W-2 who is new to us the fee starts at $50. For a college student who is a dependent of a parent who is a current client, the fee starts at $50.
