As everyone knows, I don’t raise my prices every year like other firms. In fact, I’ve only raised them 2-3 times with about 10 years between each. However, the cost of software/hardware/services to keep client data secure has greatly increased. The price is affecting my company as of February. As a result, I must raise my pricing to compensate. I will make my new pricing effective as of February 10th.
I would like to point out the the current national average for a standard 1040 is $220 and itemizing is $103. So my pricing will still remain a fraction of the national average while I maintain above-average services. I will be updating the prices on my page but until then, here are the increases that are coming on 2/10/2023:
Base price from $100 to $125
Senior return from $65 to $75
Each state over the first two from $15 to $20
