How do you charge your fee and how much will it cost?
My fees are based on the complexity of your return. Simple returns, including the state return start at $159.00. * For the 2024 Tax filing season, I will also be providing a 30 minute no cost review of your finances with a set of personized recommendations for your review. Financial counseling services are available, and I can discuss that upon completion of your return and 30-minute complimentary session.
