All dollar amounts shown are starting prices. Individual and business base return fees include the federal return and one state; additional states are separately priced. Final fees depend on scope, complexity, ownership, record condition, tax years, entities and required forms. Cleanup, corrections, additional schedules, amended or prior-year returns, planning, notices, representation, conversions, elections, revocations and separate compliance work are quoted separately in advance unless expressly included. Government charges, taxes and third-party costs are additional unless stated otherwise. Scope and fees will be confirmed before work begins. Results are not guaranteed.

Discuss your needs

Routine return support. Routine extensions for existing engaged return clients are included when adequate information is received by the engagement deadline. An extension generally extends the time to file, not the time to pay. Routine next-year estimated-payment vouchers prepared with the return using available information are included. Substantial payment estimates, new projections, changed-income scenarios, ongoing monitoring, standalone extensions and missing-record reconstruction are separately scoped and quoted in advance.

Fixed-fee return payments. A signed engagement letter and 50% of the agreed total fee are required before preparation begins. The balance is due after client review and before filing. Valid signed e-file authorization is required before transmission. Payment procedures remain subject to filing, required return-copy and client-record obligations. Hourly or open-ended projects have separately agreed scope, billing terms and advances. Previously agreed quotes and signed engagement terms will be honored unless changes are agreed with the client.
