Frequently Asked Questions

Are your services expensive? Expensive? NO WAY! Most clients save more on their tax bill than they spend to pay me. But they also get Peace of Mind that their professionally prepared return is nearly bullet-proof. Doing taxes is complicated, Let Larry Do It.

Brain surgery is also difficult, and I will hire a pro for that if the time comes.

As a sample, a Federal 1040 with Schedules A and B, and one state return starts at $595.00. Schedules C (Business) $95.00, D (Capital Gains) $35.00 and up depending on complexity, and E (Rental Property) $145.00. Very complex schedules will cost more to prepare. I will happily try to estimate the cost of your return before beginning to work on it.

What if I am really late in filing my return or otherwise out of compliance? Will you work with me? We all let things slide now and then. Some of us really slide, until it seems the situation is hopeless and frightening. I meet many new clients who sheepishly admit they haven’t filed tax returns in. . . OK, let’s just say “a very, very long time.”  I’ll work with you to prepare your out-of-compliance years. As a testimonial, none of my clients are still in jail! I remind these potential clients that I’m not the IRS, I’m just trying to get their returns filed before the IRS notices and contacts them. It's always best to initiate these conversations, in my experience.
