Our Fees

The following schedules summarize some of our most common fees.  The fees listed below are based on our average fee for the service listed.

Unlike people, tax returns and professional services are not created equally.  Fees may vary from the amounts listed below depending on the organization of client data, schedules, calculations, required expertise and other tangible and intangible items.  Accordingly, we make no guarantees regarding the following price list.  Although actual fees billed are frequently less than the fees quoted below, some circumstances dictate a higher fee.  We are always happy to discuss our fees prior to performing any work.
