Services & pricing

One price for the return, plus whatever applies to you.

Other forms are quoted after I review your documents, before any work starts. I prepare federal and state returns for clients anywhere in the U.S. California, Oregon, Maryland, New York and Connecticut require their own preparer registration, so for those states I'll confirm I can file yours before we start.

Business returns

For multi-member LLCs, partnerships, S corporations and C corporations. Business returns vary a lot with the number of owners, the state of the books and the activity during the year, so a free consultation is required to confirm your price before any work starts.

1Partnership / multi-member LLC (Form 1065)Starting at $950
2S corporation (Form 1120-S)Starting at $950
3C corporation (Form 1120)Starting at $950

Includes the federal and one state business return. Price depends on number of owners, whether the books are reconciled, and payroll, inventory or depreciation.

Single-member LLCs usually file on Schedule C with the owner's personal return, which is the $449 self-employed return above. Partnership and S corporation returns are due March 15.

$25 off your first return, and $25 for every referral.

New clients take $25 off their first return. When someone you refer files with me, you get $25 off your next return for each one.

Bookkeeping cleanup & reconciliation

For small businesses whose books have fallen behind, usually discovered at tax time. I work in QuickBooks Online and take a limited number of bookkeeping clients so each file gets real attention.

Cleanup clients get the self-employed tax return at the listed price with the books already done.
