Individual Returns · 1040 Prep

Every price, published. No surprises when the invoice shows up.

Simple returns, self-employment income, rental properties, investment sales, multiple states — priced up front so you know exactly what you're paying before you send me anything.

Published Pricing

What your return actually costs.

Most firms in Central PA won't put a number on their website. I will — it's the fastest way to show you're not overpaying, and it filters out the guesswork before we even talk.

Service Price Notes
Simple 1040 (W-2 only, standard deduction) $149 The straightforward return — one or more W-2s, no itemizing.
Itemized 1040 (Schedule A) $225 Mortgage interest, charitable giving, medical, and other itemized deductions.
Schedule C (self-employed / gig work) $275 Freelance, contractor, or gig income — the entry point if you're also thinking about bookkeeping.
Schedule D (investments / capital gains) +$65 Add-on to a base return — stock sales, crypto, other capital gains.
Schedule E (rental income) +$85 / property Rental property is a specialty here — I manage rental property myself.
Multi-state filing +$60 / state Common for remote workers and anyone who moved mid-year.
Prior-year amended return $175 Flat fee, separate from current-year prep.
Late / disorganized paperwork +$100 Flat surcharge if documents arrive scattered or incomplete — keeps turnaround fair for everyone.
How to read this table: the base price is your starting point (simple, itemized, or Schedule C), and the add-ons stack on top of it. A landlord with one rental property and a stock sale who itemizes, for example, lands around $225 + $85 + $65 = $375 — before we've had a single conversation about what you'd actually pay a bigger firm for the same return.
