Pricing Questions

Good to know

Do your tax preparation prices include state and local returns?

Yes. Every package includes your federal Form 1040, one resident Pennsylvania return and one local return. Additional state returns are $50 each and additional local or city returns are $40 each.

Why do the prices say "starting at"?

Each package covers a typical return for that situation. Extra W-2s, additional rental properties, a second Schedule C or manual reconciliation work add to the base price, as listed in the menu above. You'll have an exact quote before we begin.

Do you charge by the hour for tax preparation?

Tax preparation is priced by package, not by the hour. Hourly rates apply only to bookkeeping or shoebox cleanup ($95–$150 per hour), manual stock or crypto reconciliation ($100 per hour) and services not on the list ($150 per hour) — and we'll tell you before any hourly work starts.

Is the initial consultation free?

Yes. Call 724-462-3079 or send a message through the contact form, tell us about your situation, and we'll recommend the right package and give you a clear quote at no charge.
