Pricing
I believe in straightforward, transparent pricing based solely on the complexity of your tax situation, not unnecessary add-ons.
I will not charge you extra for printing, postage, e-file, direct deposit, or services you don’t need.
I also do not sell high-interest loans, credit cards, or refund advance products.
My pricing is honest, competitive, and focused on accuracy, experience, and ethical integrity.
• Prices begin at $110.00 for a basic 1040 return with no itemizations or donations.
(Subject to additional charges for filings closer to the deadline.)
• A typical 1040 with simple itemized deductions
(Schedule C-EZ, Schedule A deductions, etc.) starts at $235.00.
This price includes one California state return.
Any additional state returns outside of California incur an additional $45.00 per state.
• Returns involving self-employment income, rental income, capital gains/losses, or other situations requiring additional forms will incur additional fees based on scope, while still offered at a competitive price.
• Amended Returns (Form 1040-X) start at $135.00 and are charged according to the extent of changes made to the original return.
Please feel free to contact me for a personalized quote based on your specific situation.
• Other Services are billed at $100.00 per hour, with a minimum of 1 hour.
These services may include IRS notices, balance due issues, payment plans, transcript reviews, and general tax assistance outside of standard return preparation.
Payment Options
I accept cash, personal checks, cashier checks, money orders, and all major credit cards(via PayPal), Chase QuickPay, Zella, Venmo, etc.
If you owe taxes, they can be paid by check or direct debit from your bank account, or with a credit card.* We can also help you arrange a payment plan with the IRS if you cannot afford to pay your tax bill all at once.
* Payment will be processed by a payment processor who will charge a processing fee. The fees vary by service provider and may be tax deductible. No part of the service fee goes to the IRS. Your information is used solely to process your payment.
