We calculate your fee using the forms required to complete your return. Therefore, tax returns that require additional research, accounting, or 3rd party communications to establish information reported on your forms may require fees in addition to the "per-form" fees.
Estimated prices for the most basic federal and Minnesota tax returns are approximate and subject to change without notice.
- Basic fee: $175 (no dependents, two W2s)
- Basic for itemized return: $250
- Basic return with any tax credit forms: $325 - $450
- Basic self-employed return with expenses and depreciable assets: $500
- Rental Property: add $210 per rental unit minimum
Forms for reporting social security, capital gains or losses, interest, and dividends, or tax forms to claim tax credits are examples of additional conditions which will cause your tax preparation fee to be higher than the basic tax return.
- For those who qualify, the (above) estimated fees are reduced by the Loyal, On-Time Filer Discount** of 20%.
- Historically, our fees have been consistently 10% - 30% below those charged by the major national franchises for the same tax return.
