- It covers a federal Form 1040 with W-2 income and the standard deduction.
- State returns are included, even if you worked in more than one state.
- Each dependent is +$50, which covers the child tax credit and earned income credit paperwork.

- Returns with more than W-2 income and the standard deduction are priced from the list above.
Personal returns
A standard personal return is $250 at a weekend appointment, or $200 by digital drop-off. Drop-off costs $50 less than in person. A senior or simple return, a Form 1040 or 1040-SR with retirement or Social Security income, is $125 in person or $100 by digital drop-off.
Self-employed and business returns
A self-employed or gig work return with a Schedule C is $300. Business returns for S corporations (Form 1120-S) and partnerships (Form 1065) start at $750, and so do estate and trust returns (Form 1041). A startup or no-activity business return, filed together with the owner's personal return, is $300.
Starting a business
The business starter package is $500 flat: LLC filing, EIN, Rhode Island registration and a first-year tax consult. It is document preparation and filing assistance, not legal advice. New-Business Counsel is $300 per year for year-round guidance on entity questions, estimated taxes and record-keeping.
Amended and prior-year returns
An amended or prior-year return is $150.
Referral credit
Every person you send who files and pays takes $50 off your own return, and a business owner takes $100 off. Refer 2 and that is $100 off. Refer 5 and your return is free. It is a credit, never cash, and unused credit rolls to the next year.
