Some offer year-round advice and audit representation, while others operate seasonally for basic tax season prep.

Good to know
What is the difference between a tax preparer and a CPA?
Tax preparers assist with compiling and filing returns, and many hold credentials like Enrolled Agent status to represent you before the IRS. CPAs have broader accounting certifications and handle complex corporate finances, audits, and high-level tax planning. For standard annual filings, a standard tax service is often sufficient.
How much does professional tax preparation usually cost?
Fees typically start around $150 to $300 for a straightforward individual return with standard deductions. Complex returns involving itemized deductions, small business schedules, or investment portfolios often cost $500 or more depending on the required documentation.
What should I bring to my tax preparation appointment?
You need government identification, Social Security numbers for all dependents, and all relevant tax forms such as W-2s and 1099s. Bring a copy of your prior year's tax return and organized records for any deductions or business expenses you plan to claim.
