Pricing Questions
How does payment work?
I collect 50% upfront to begin work, with the remaining 50% due before filing. Pay in full at intake and receive a 5% discount on your Essential or Complete package. I accept credit cards, PayPal, Zelle, and bank transfers.
What if my situation is complex?
For complex situations (multiple foreign businesses, trusts, significant investments), I'll provide a custom quote after our initial consultation. There are no surprises — you'll know the price before we start.
Do you offer discounts for couples?
Married filing jointly returns add $150 to any package. This covers the additional complexity of joint return analysis, spouse-specific income items, and any treaty considerations for mixed-nationality couples.
What if I need help mid-year?
I offer ad-hoc consultations for tax planning, estimated payments, or other mid-year questions. Current clients: $175/hour (30-minute minimum). Non-clients: $225/hour (30-minute minimum).
