And The Average Tax Return Preparation Cost Is..........
I was doing some reviewing of average pricing with national tax preparation shops and discovered the cost was a lot higher than I thought. I believe a lot of advertisement states far lower prices than the amounts finally paid. Check closely before shelling out more money for your tax return.
Per William Perez article on November 16, 2010, http://taxes.about.com/od/findataxpreparer/a/prices.htm
- H&R Block Average - $189 per return (average, 2010 data)
- Jackson Hewitt - $208 per return (average, 2010 data)
- National Society of Accountants - $229 (Includes 1040 with Schedule A and state return)
- National Society of Accountants - $129 (Includes 1040 and state with no schedule A)
