Personal Tax Preparation
Who this is for
Employees with W-2 income, standard deductions, dependents, or straightforward filing needs who want a real person handling their return without the runaround.
Why this matters
Even "simple" returns get errors when filers guess. A human review catches missed credits, wrong filing status, and small mistakes that delay refunds.

Pricing
Simple W-2 returns start at $50. Returns with credits or extra forms are quoted after a quick review.
Final pricing depends on forms, schedules, state filings, income types, document condition, and review complexity. We never base our fee on the size of your refund. Quotes are not final until documents are reviewed.

How fast is it?
Turnaround depends on document completeness and IRS processing. We keep you updated at each stage.
