I got mine done there and they charged me like 52 bucks. I'm not sure if that's a flat rate, or if they base it on how much I made. I thought it was a fair price, though.

do it online and they'll take it out of your refund. It's not that much online, much higher if you go in a place in person.

Really? I didn't know that. Oh, I almost forgot! I also had a coupon for 25.00 off, so it was around 77 bucks. Sorry, it slipped my mind. I should have done it online, I guess. They didn't offer to take the price out of my refund. I just paid with my credit card.

It's just 20 bucks. If you have them take the fee out of the refund it becomes 40 bucks however.

I pity the fools who pay money for others to do their taxes.
I do mine for free.

I was surprised at how ridiculously easy it is - and I would've paid nearly 50 bucks to walk in H&R Block and pay someone else to do all that for me.

I started doing my own taxes when I got my first job at 12yo, I like a paper trail though. taxes are really easy until you start with the 1099 and K-1 the start figuring in the deductions and such, expenses for anything associated with job hunting is deductable, that includes clothes, food, gas and what ever, theres hundreds of other expenses that are deductable as well, a little online research pays off in the long run...

I'm not sure exactly how H&R Block works, but I worked in a small tax preparation office for a couple of years and the price usually depended on how complicated it was. If bookkeeping was required, or it was more than just a short form, the price would jack up quickly.

My mom's a CPA and she has nothing but bad stuff to say about H&R Block. She says that everybody she has talked to that had dealings with them got their taxes all fucked up.

Download Turbo Tax or something and do them yourself. Easy breezy.
You can charge your friends $20-$30 to do theirs too.

I have alot of stock, so my taxes are a bit more complicated - if I did them myself, I'd probably mess up.

If you own stock you are gonna have to have a 1099 form, which could make the tax prep service cost a lot more.

Also do you itemize deductions or not?
I may be able to help you do it as a matter of fact. One of my friends has worked for a bank doing really complex tax returns. He's here now. He just mentioned that he would help also.
If I had your figures and whatnot, I could throw together a pdf or word doc completed and all you would have to do is print, sign, and mail.. I would do it for half the price of H&R
