How much does tax preparation cost?
Short answer
Tax preparation costs about $200 to $500 for a simple personal return and $500 to $1,500 or more for a small business return. The price depends on the return type (Schedule C, S-Corp, or partnership), how many states you file in, and whether your books are clean before preparation starts.
Our fixed fees start at $299 for a simple 1040, $499 with a Schedule C, and $899 for a business return.
