The Cost of Tax Preparation

The CPA Practice Advisor says that you should expect to pay
​an average of $ 175 to prepare your tax return. 

The average fee drops to $150 if your return is quite simple.

The national Society of Accountants (NSA) survey looked at the average costs of having a professional prepare various other types of tax forms, and found the following information:

• The average cost for preparing a Schedule C Tax Form $218
• The average cost for preparing a Schedule D (capital gains and losses) is $142
• The average cost for preparing a Schedule E (supplemental income and loss) $165


While the cost of tax preparation may not sound appealing, keep in mind that a professional tax preparer can often catch credits or deductions that you may have missed — saving you money that can pay for the cost of the tax preparation and more!
