I set my prices in collaboration with Philadelphia Tax Prep for Artists. We keep our prices lower than other for-profit tax preparation services as a way of demonstrating our commitment to serving artists and cultural workers.
For the 2026 tax filing season (tax year 2025), our base rate is:
$350 for Single Filers, Head of Household, and Married Filing Separately
$500 for Married Filing Jointly
This rate includes:
-one federal 1040
-one resident and one non-resident state return
-one Schedule C (self-employment income) per filer
-one Schedule B (interest and dividend income - up to $1,500/$3,000)
-8/12 income forms
-one 1095-A (Marketplace Healthcare)
This rate includes e-filing your returns, tax data storage for at least 7 years, an electronic copy of your return, and one tax prep meeting.
Additional charges may include:
-Schedule E (rental income, K-1income): $50 per form
-additional Schedule C: $50 per form
-Schedule D (investment income): $35 per form
-Schedule B greater than $1,500/$3,000: $35
-Schedule A (itemized personal deductions): $50
-additional states: $50 per state

-for Philadelphia clients, NPT and BIRT long form return: $75-other local taxes (upon request of client): $50 per return
-Foreign earned income and foreign tax tax credit: $50-$200
I request a $100 deposit from new clients upon scheduling a meeting. I will give you an estimate of your final bill when we meet. Payment will be due upon your approval of your return and prior to filing. If you need to, you are welcome to pay in installments.
My consultation rate is $75/half-hour. I do not take consultation meetings during "tax season" (February-April).
All meetings are virtual and documents are handled digitally.
Appointments that are cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice will be subject to a $50 cancellation charge. The second time an appointment rescheduled, a $50 rescheduling fee will be charged.
If your Adjusted Gross Income is $84,000 or less, you may be eligible to prepare and file your own taxes for free here.
