What does the average CPA charge to do taxes?
Short Answer: It depends on complexity, not just the form being filed.
CPA fees vary based on your business structure, number of income sources, organization of your records, and whether planning is included. A simple individual return is very different from a small business return that includes payroll, entity filings, or multiple revenue streams.
Common mistakes:
Comparing prices without comparing scope
Choosing the lowest fee without considering support
Waiting until the last minute (which can increase cost)
What we recommend:
Look at value, not just price. Proactive tax planning, organized financials, and year-round support often save far more than the filing fee itself.
