Each client's tax situation is unique. At Eckenrode Tax Service, we believe the best and fairest way to bill clients for our services is to charge by the number and type of forms and schedules needed to accurately complete their returns. When we use this method, clients with simple returns are not overcharged and clients with more complex returns are charged a fair, professional fee. The knowledge, research and time needed to prepare more complex returns justify the higher fees.
Our average tax return preparation fee is $110.00 for a Federal, Pennsylvania State, and Local tax return. Your fees may be higher or lower depending on your tax situation.
Eckenrode Tax Service will be happy to give you a more accurate estimate of our tax preparation fees based on your unique tax situation once we receive your tax information. We do not give estimates without first looking over your tax documents and asking the necessary questions. It has been our experience that clients often misinterpret documents in their possession or are unaware of certain tax consequences resulting from decisions made during the tax year. If, after receiving our estimate, you decide you don't want us to proceed with your tax preparation, we will simply return or destroy (copies only, with your permission) the documents you provided and you owe us nothing.
All of our fees must be paid at the completion of your tax return and before we will electronically file it with the IRS.
