Frequently asked questions
What affects tax prep pricing?
Complexity of your return, your location, and the preparer's credentials. Business income, rental properties, and itemized deductions increase the fee.
Can I get cheap tax prep?
Yes, use IRS Free File if income under $73k, or volunteer programs. Also compare local CPAs vs. national chains. Online DIY is cheapest but less guidance.
Are there extra fees?
Often yes for state returns ($30-$100), amendments, or if you need an audit response. Always ask for a written quote before starting.
