TAX PREPARATION FEES

Article Category: Finances

Author Name: chickie maxwell

The scale at which a tax payer pays for tax preparation services greatly depends on how difficult it is to file his taxes. Because of the complex nature of filing and tax rates, two taxpayers may end up paying different amounts even if they both in the same filing status. This article attempts to illustrate where the variation in tax preparation fees come in.
Billing Methods
The following billing methods are established but are not necessarily employed by all tax preparers:
- A standard fee for every tax form involved in the preparation
- A standard service fee affected by the previous year's pricing
- An additional fee for changes in an individual's tax filing status
- An additional fee for tax return

A personal fee dependent on the perceived value of the tax preparation service provided
- A time-based fee based on the length of time spent preparing an individual's taxes
- A specific fee accounting for data entry
- An additional fee based on the complexity an individual's tax situation

Although not commonly thought of, the type of tax preparer an individual goes to seek help from is also a factor in pricing. A tax preparer can be licensed or not, he may be working for a firm or is a solo practitioner, or he may be approaching an individual's tax situation as a simple or in a complicated way. Licensed tax preparers may impose higher fees because their licenses entail competence to perform the tasks related to preparing taxes.

Tips in Getting Fair Prices

An individual who considers getting the service of a tax preparer may pick these tips up to minimize high costs:

Ask questions. Once the price is quoted, an individual should be in the know on what composes the charge. All prices come with a reason and as a tax payer, it is but proper to know what exactly you are paying for.

Set expectations. Preparing taxes per individual entails different completion times. Specify your case and get a timeframe to get an expectation of when you should be settling down knowing your obligation to the IRS is done.

Determine scope of service. In essence, the main task of the tax preparer is to help you with filing your taxes. Find out what happens in case you need later communication for follow up. Whether you will be required to pay for any post-service related inquiries or services or not matter in terms of saving on costs.

Negotiate. Just because your tax preparer is knowledgeable in the field means that the pricing he offers you is reasonable. Negotiate to get the terms of what you think is fair. Note that you are looking forward to minimize the tax payments you will owe so it should not be used to augment the costs of dealing with a tax preparer.

Know the limits. Some tax preparers charge fees in proportion to an individual's tax refund. Some just quote unreasonable fees. Some even commit fraud to get more money. Know that there are prohibitions governing the prices imposed on services dealing with tax preparation.
