Our Pricing Policy –
How Much We Charge to Prepare Your Tax Return
 
Our goal is to provide you with prompt and accurate tax preparation services for a fair price that covers our costs for doing business and produces a fair profit so that we may remain in business to serve you year after year.

Everyone’s situation is different. And fees will vary based on each person’s circumstances. Generally, our fees are based on a set fee for each form and schedule needed to prepare an accurate income tax return.

On average, our clients last year paid about $390 and we expect that the average for all clients in the upcoming year will be close to the same (between $300 and $450), but the fee for a specific client may be higher for more complex returns with increased number of forms. These prices are competitive and in line with those charged by national tax franchises.

Additional fees may apply for additional states (beyond MA) and additional forms or storage, mailing or copying. Base fee includes e-filing.

Base fee is $300 and includes Form 1040 + One State (MA) and audit protection.

Additional fees may apply for specific forms for specific tax credits.

Business Schedule C and related depreciation schedules: +$50.

Itemized Deductions Schedule A: +$30

Dividends & Interest Schedule B: +$25

Real Estate Schedule E: +$40

MA Circuit Breaker Credit (over age 65): +$30

Installment Payment or Credit Card: +$10 per installment or charge

Additional fees may apply for filing other forms including an amended state or federal return, depreciation schedules, 1099-C for cancelled debt, W2G for gambling winnings, 1098-T for tuition fees or additional states. Additional research or time may be subject to prevailing professional rates of $100 per hour. Clients are responsible for any interest (1.5%/month) or collection costs incurred for non-payment.

*** TaxSmart Tax Planning and Preparation Bundles - starting at $75/month
Sometimes, just filing your return isn’t enough. Sometimes, you need a plan to pay the least you legally can.

Tax preparation is one piece of your finances. While it’s important, you can get more value from looking and planning ahead. By combining financial and tax planning with your tax preparation, you can be better prepared to make smarter money moves.

About Steve Stanganelli, CFP®

WHAT WE DO

Here at Boston Tax Planners, a service of Clear View Wealth Advisors, we do more than tax preparation. We do tax planning. Traditional tax preparers look in the rear view mirror and record the year that was. We are different. We focus on looking ahead and planning so that you lower your taxes, build wealth and improve your cash flow.

As April 15 approaches, you know you can count on us for a timely, accurate tax return. But sometimes, just filing your return isn’t enough. Sometimes, you need a plan to pay the least you legally can.

Our tax planning service starts with a proactive look at all your income and expenses. Our goal is to ferret out every legal deduction, credit, loophole, and strategy available, before we file your return.

No “red flags.” No “gray areas.” No “aggressive” moves.

Everything is court-tested and IRS-approved.

When we meet to present your completed return, we’ll talk more about how tax planning can leave more in your pocket. In the meantime, if you have any questions, just call 978-388-0020 or 617-398-7494.
