Fee Question - Moved from PA to DE

Question:
Hello. I moved to Delaware in September 2011 from Pennsylvania and need to have my 2011 taxes done, both federal and state. I sold some stocks, withdrew money from my Roth IRA. I normally did my own taxes, but with moving, selling stock, etc, I would rather have my taxes done by a professional. Is there any way to get an idea of an approximate cost range for having my taxes done?

Answer:

We do not quote specific prices because it's impossible to determine exactly what work will need to be done to professionally prepare your tax return. Based on the information you provided, I can tell you that our base fee is $200, which includes the 1040, Schedule A, and State of Delaware return. In your case, you will also need to have a PA return, Schedule D and appropriate sub-schedules, and some other items relative to your IRA and moving. I will also tell you that we offer a $35 discount for new clients. We are certainly interested in adding you as a client so please call our office or feel free to schedule an appointment online. We look forward to seeing you soon.
