Our Tax Preparation Fees
Our tax preparation fees are highly dependent on the complexity of your individual or business tax situation.
What might seem like a straightforward return can vary significantly based on numerous factors. For instance, one client might have a simple Schedule C for basic self-employment income with minimal expenses, while another could involve intricate elements such as various forms of depreciation and amortization, special deductions (e.g., for home office or vehicle use), tax credits (like earned income or child tax credits), loss carryforwards or carrybacks, and other nuances.
Additional differences that can increase complexity include:
- Multiple income sources (e.g., wages, investments, rentals)
- The number of employees and payroll considerations
- Capital gains or losses from investments
- Multi-state or international filings
- The business entity type (e.g., sole proprietorship vs. corporation or partnership)
- The volume and organization of financial documents
- Compliance history or potential audit risks
- The overall amount of income involved
These variations mean that the time, expertise, and effort required to accurately prepare, review, and file taxes can differ dramatically from one case to another. As a result, providing an exact quote upfront is challenging without a detailed review of your specific circumstances—we'll assess your needs during an initial consultation to ensure transparency and fairness.
