Frequently asked questions
Why is my final price different from the starting price?
Starting prices cover common cases. Extra schedules, missing records, multiple states, and rush timing add work, so they add cost. We confirm your exact price in writing before work begins.
Do you require payment before filing?
Preparation fees are due before the return is filed. Resolution cases are quoted as a fixed starting price with the payment schedule agreed in advance.
Is the planning session applied to later work?
The $115 planning session is a standalone meeting. If it leads to return preparation or resolution work, that work is quoted separately.
