Am I getting my ass ripped off on tax prep?
$700 for both personal/family and corporate return preparation and advice....
I've never gone to a professional before, but I figure its high time. Yes, I know its 2 weeks before the deadline... Anyway, am I getting ripped off? What do you guys pay? I'm talking to the people who actually have companies and make money, so  sigwhores and peanut gallery STFU.Thanks.

No man, that's not steep at all if they are doing both your personal as well as corp.

Sweet !!! Good to hear guys...thanks.
He is saying that he is cutting me a great deal and that he normally does $500 minimum for personal and $500 for corporate, but he is doing both for $700. (He is trying to get all my financial planning and investing business...) I assumed he was probably full of shit and was ripping me off but telling me he was giving me a bargain...  Guess I've been to too many shady mechanics lately. Thanx for the info.

 Otherwise I prefer to be more in direct control of everything.Also its not just money that I'm saving, but frustration, anxiety, and most of all TIME. Time IS money.

if it's a good CPA, that's CHEAP.
i pay $600 for personal and $800 per business, but he's saved me a lot more than that over the course of the year by helping me structure everything right...

$500 for personal seems pricey. I can do most people's personal taxes in about 10 minutes. I would think an accountant would be able to do it even faster. Of course, that's assuming you just have a couple W2s and a list of your deductions ready.
As for the coporate stuff, you always pay out the ass for that. |
