Quotes are not final until documents are reviewed. Starting prices. Your written quote is set before we begin, and if your return needs more work we tell you first. E-file and processing fees are shown on your quote.

What affects your price
- Forms and schedules. Extra schedules (C, E, D), K-1s, and credit forms add time and care.
- State filing. Each state return, and multi-state situations, are factored into your quote.
- Income types. W-2 only is simplest. Self-employment, rental, investment, and crypto add complexity.
- Document condition. Organized records keep your price down. We can work with messy records, it just takes more review.
- Prior-year or amendments. Catching up on past years or amending a filed return is quoted by year and complexity.

Pricing FAQ
Do you charge based on my refund?
No. We never base our fee on the size of your refund. That is a practice we consider a red flag. Our pricing is flat and quoted after we review your documents.
Why are some prices quoted after review?
Returns with credits, business activity, or multiple states vary in complexity. We give you one clear quote before any work begins.
Will the price change after I start?
Your quote is confirmed before preparation begins. If something material changes (for example an added schedule or a second state), we talk with you first and you decide.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The quote you approve is the price. We do not add per-form upsells as you go, the way many do-it-yourself apps do.
How do I pay, and when?
You get your quote up front and pay before we file, never based on the size of your refund. We accept card and other electronic methods.
