FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For tax preparation, we charge by the form, not by the hour. That way you only pay for the amount of work needed to file your taxes. The expertise needed to fill out a particular form is built into the pricing for that form. It isn't complicated, but it doesn't lend itself to quick quotes without a lot of information about your tax situation up front. For comparison purpose only, an accurate and detailed quote can be had for any prior years taxes to see if you would have paid less if we had done them, but keep in mind that it should only be used as a relative guide for that year. If your tax situation changes for subsequent years, you can expect that our billing will reflect those changes.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Enrolled Agents are required to take 72 hours of continuing education every three years, with a minimum of 16 hours per year. Education credits towards this requirement are only accepted by the IRS from IRS approved providers, so you know that an Enrolled Agent is maintaining their expertise at a very high level. Higher than required by other tax professionals.
