New Client Tax Prep Pricing

The Goldilocks of tax prep — not a chain, not a pop-up, not big-firm overhead. We work for you.

We specialize in S-Corps, partnerships, 1099/self-employed businesses, and rentals. We uncover legitimate savings and build year-round plans.

1) The Goldilocks fit

Careful work, fair pricing, and follow-through—without chain shortcuts or big-firm overhead.

2) ProShield™: correspondence + audit assistance

If the IRS or MN contacts you about a return we prepared, we handle covered items in-house.

3) Year-round planning

Withholding/estimates and business/life changes—planning that continues after filing.

Pricing anchor: Most W-2/retirement returns start at $295. Itemizing, investments, rentals, or 1099 income typically land between $395–$1,095 after review.
