Clear prices for every form
Your price is the federal return plus the forms your situation needs. No hourly billing and no surprises.
Pay only for what your return needs
Many tax offices charge a flat package price or bill by the hour, and you often don't know the cost until the work is done. We do it differently. Every form has a published price, and your fee is simply the total of the forms your return actually uses.
If you have a W-2 and take the standard deduction, you pay for a federal return and nothing more. Add a rental property, a side business or a state return, and only those forms are added. You never pay for a bigger package you don't need.
You see your estimate, line by line, before you book. We confirm your final price after reviewing your documents, before any work begins, so the price you agree to is the price you pay.
