Our Answers about Common Questions to Ask a Paid Preparer

1.  How do you charge your fee and how much will it cost?  Basic returns for individual income taxes are a flat rate depending on the type of income.  For example, a return for a single person with 1 W-2 will be $69.  Returns with a business form or needing paperwork to be sorted will be charged on an hourly basis.  Fees are collected at the time of the return preparation for basic returns.  One half of the estimated fee for other tax returns will be collected at the time we both agree we will prepare your tax return.  The full amount of our fee must be paid when we deliver you your final tax return.
