Pricing & FAQs

Pricing

  • Our culture around money in the U.S. rarely takes into account social inequity and how we all have different levels of access to even the most basic services. Since preparing your taxes is required by law, we see it as a basic service, which is why we are working hard to keep it cheaper than typical tax preparation, and why our pricing is based on your annual income and who you are as an individual.

    When considering what it costs you to get your taxes filed or your budgets mapped out, we consider your annual income, your identity, your financial background, if you have dependents, and the complexity of your tax situation (i.e. if it will take longer than normal).

  • Most tax preparers start at $250 per 1040 return, we are hoping to average at $125 per return, having those of us who earn more or have inherited wealth paying more to offset the cost of those with less. And at the end of the day everyone is paying the same from the viewpoint of equity and how much one can afford.

    Our system to find your fee begins with you annual income, and a percentage of that is used to calculate your fee - with no prices falling below $45 and none higher than $350.

    Their are discounts for BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, Disabled, etc.

    Kandra intends to spend 30-45 mins on intake and then 45-60 minutes filing your return.

    If it takes longer because your return is more complex there will be an additional hourly fee that is half of your initial fee.

  • We’re here to help you simplify things, but it must be said that self-employment and other schedules will take longer. These will be charged with the upfront fee and then every additional hour spent will be charged at 50% of your initial fee.

  • If you have any corporate schedules 1041, 1065, 1120S, 1120 & 990, please contact Kandra to discuss the prices, but please note that these will be more expensive than individual returns.

  • Budgeting is charged by a simple sliding scale $15-$75 (BIPOC) and $25-$100 (White folks). Please consider your annual income, your identity, and your financial background.

  • Please contact Kandra Finances about hiring us to do your small business accounting. The hourly fee will depend on your revenue and identity.

  • Please gather as many of your materials as you can (W-2s, 1099s, health insurance forms, stock statements, etc)

    We will meet and I will send you a link to safely upload your documents to.

    I will complete your return, send you a bill, and you will get your tax return ASAP.

  • We strive for transparency and to meet the clients needs. We will discuss what platform of payment you would like to use and clarify the financial implications of every option. For instance, Paypal, Venmo and other companies charge a processing fee on business payments.

  • We hope so! But we cannot guarantee anything, because a tax refund is simply the government repaying you for any taxes that you overpaid during the year.
