How Our Pricing Works

We use a form-based fee model. Every return starts with a base fee for the Form 1040, then adds per-form charges based on the schedules and forms required by your specific tax situation. The simpler your return, the lower your fee.

✓ No percentage-of-refund fees
✓ No hidden charges
✓ Quote before you commit

Important: 2025 Crypto Reporting Changes

Starting January 1, 2025, the IRS requires taxpayers to track cryptocurrency gains and losses separately for each wallet or exchange (Rev. Proc. 2024-28). This significantly increases record-keeping requirements. Contact us early in the year to ensure your records are organized. Visit CryptoIncomeTaxPrep.com ↗ for more information.
