About $80 for a very basic return. $150 if you have donations & some normal stuff.
Turbotax is pretty inexpensive and I found a TurboTax Promotion Code here for 25% off: http://www.dealtaker.com/TurboTax-coupon-code-a2068-c.html
But H&R block isn't much better than doing it yourself, since they just basically ask you the same questions the softwares do.

if you make under 50,000 you can do it free online through irs.gov

Depends on how many forms they have to do on your behalf. Generally they start at about $75, I'd say the average is about $120 give or take

Last year my charge was about $100, and it's gone up every year I've used them. I should have just done it myself but I had to declare tips for the first time and was nervous. If you can, definately consider filing online.

The minimum is 90 and they charge extra for additional forms... but the advantage is that they back their work and get you the maximum legal amount back on your return. If you go to their website, they have a $25 coupon right now too for first time customers... I printed it off and am going to do my taxes today, if you'd like, I can e-mail you later on and let you know exactly how much they charge for everything and how it all works.

FYI, unless you are just doing the 1040ez form, I would suggest having somebody prepare your taxes for you, even though it does cost a little more, it's worth it to avoid being audited.


I did mine the other night... it cost 215 with the coupon... but I had extra forms to do with tons of write offs. It was totally worth it though... I got 3000 back that I wasn't expecting and I'll have my check in a week.

It's really a matter of if you are going to use bank products or not. If you efile with software or block or JH you can receive your refund in about 7 days if you direct deposit. It is worth the extra $40 to go to a pro tax place because they will give you audit protection. The downside of going to one of these places is that your return depends on their software questionnaires unless you get a seasoned tax pro. I would call the place of your choice and ask who has been preparing taxes the longest and make an appointment with that person. There are lots of deductions and credits that store bought software will not catch. Also, a seasoned pro can answer all your tax questions and help you in the future. Software tries to do this but it can't match a pro. You can always find a coupon for one of the franchise places or you can call a non-franchise tax prep service in your yellow pages or on superpages.com Good luck!

Too much! You're better off using one of the free online tax sites, or if you're not very comfortable with taxes, finding an individual tax preparer. Some of the online tax sites let you e-file for free, and others charge a minimal fee ($15 - $20).

go to the website they have. to do it yourself online it is 9.99 for federal plus 26 for state e filing. it is very easy to use but i think turbo tax is easier and they are 14.99 fed and 26 state. instead of buying the software you can do it right from the website.

wayyyy too much depending on the complexity and they do a half *** job, generally 80-150 bucks, my advice is go to target and buy turbo tax for 40 bucks and follow the instructions, you get more money back and its very simple.
