Fees

We believe we offer you the best value for the variety of services that we can provide you.

The following are our average base rates for some of our services that we offer, and assume you are filing only a Minnesota or Wisconsin return (for multi-state returns there is a minimum charge of $40 per state):

Personal Income Tax Preparation

We are unable to provide an exact estimate of the cost of your return without actually meeting with you and seeing what will be involved in completing your return. Our fee is form-based and it is too hard to estimate based on hypothetical scenarios and forms that you or we may not always be aware will apply at the time of trying to provide an estimate.

Your fee will be higher than our base rates listed below if you are eligible for tax credits such as the child tax credit, dependent care credit, earned income credit, education credit, or any other credits or deductions (see those rates in the next section). Certain types of income also can result in fee adjustments. Additionally, if there are additional schedules, forms and/or worksheets that need to be completed to prepare your tax return additional charges will also apply.
