A la carte pricing

Below is the pricing for the most common forms our clients file.  Based on these prices we provide all clients a pre-engagement estimate prior to starting any work specific to their situation.  A la carte pricing is designed to accommodate taxpayers with simpler filing needs or a specific need.  For a more complete tax preparation and advisory service check out our Buccaneer VIP Club


Although, we do our best to make our pricing as transparent as possible we do reserve the right to adjust the final return price up (or down) in rare circumstances depending on the time or complexity of the final return.
