Our fees, plainly stated.

What is included

Here is what comes with each return.

Other tax preparers commonly sell Protection Plus as an extra add on for about $79.99. With John, it is part of your return at no charge. See what Protection Plus covers.

• Married Filing Jointly includes up to ten 1099-DIV and 1099-INT forms, unlimited W-2s, 1099-Rs and other sources of employment or retirement income.
• All filing statuses other than Married Filing Jointly are limited to five 1099-DIV and 1099-INT forms.
• Each return comes with up to two free state returns.
• Protection Plus is included free of charge with every return John files.

Add ons

These are extra, and apply only when they fit your return.

• Each additional state return is $10.00.
• Any consolidated 1099 from a brokerage account is subject to a $20.00 fee if multiple forms are included.
• Any 1099-B with over 20 transactions is subject to this fee.
• A $3.00 charge is added for each additional 1099-INT or 1099-DIV that exceeds the limit.
• Schedule C (pass-through income) is an additional $20.00 to $50.00 per form.
• Schedule E (income from rental properties and royalties) is an additional $20.00 to $50.00 per form.

Within that range, the cost depends on the complexity of the form and the amount of deductions and expenses involved.

Filing back taxes? Fees for back tax filing may be lower than the current pricing, because John adjusted his rates for the upcoming tax year.

Any Itemized Deduction return is subject to additional fees, depending on the complexity of the return and the time it takes to complete.
