Why we price on performance

Hourly billing rewards a firm for being slow. We think that's backwards. Tying our fee to the outcome — the return filed right, the savings found, the case resolved — means our incentives point the same direction as yours. One line we won't cross: by IRS rules (Circular 230) a preparer can't charge a percentage of your refund, and we wouldn't anyway. Your refund is yours. Our fee reflects the work and the value, quoted before we start.

Good to Know

Bring your W-2s, 1099s, mortgage and student-loan interest statements, records of deductible expenses, and last year's return. We'll send a full checklist when you book — or build your own with our document checklist tool.

Individual returns start at $199 and business returns at $499. Final pricing depends on complexity — we give you a flat quote before any work begins.

Yes — IRS notices, back taxes, payment plans, and audit representation are core services. Send us the letter through the secure portal and we'll tell you exactly what it means and what happens next.

We're 100% remote and serve clients nationwide. Everything happens by video call, phone, and our encrypted document portal.

That's when the real planning starts. The moves that lower next year's bill — W-4 adjustments, quarterly estimates, entity changes, retirement contributions — happen the other eleven months. Year-round support is included.
