I currently prepare individual tax returns (1040s) including those with self-employment income, sole proprietorships, and single-member LLCs. I can also prepare most state tax returns. I do not do corporate tax returns (S-corps or C-corps) or partnerships.

I charge hourly for tax services, based on actual time spent preparing and reviewing the return. My rate for 2024 is $100/hr, with a 1.5-hour minimum. A $100 non-deductible deposit is required before I begin your return, which will be used toward your final balance upon completion. Clients who register and/or submit their documents to me after March 15th will be subject to my late season fee of an additional $25/hr.

Most basic returns (primarily W2 wages) can be completed in about 2 hours. More complex returns (such as 1099/self-employment/rental income, investment activities, itemized deductions, etc) will take longer. Most of my clients’ returns are completed in 2-4 hours. I bill hourly based on actual time spent on the return and review.

As a preparer for many small business owners, self employed clients, and performing artists, I understand you need flexibility in your tax prep budget. Some clients save me time (and them money) by having their documents and financials clean and organized and ready to go, while others would prefer if I handle all the receipts and credit card statements instead. Additionally, some clients want to be more involved in the process and prefer more calls and walk throughs, while some like to “send it and forget it”. I charge hourly so my clients can be empowered to lower their tax prep bill instead of being charged a higher flat rate.

Yes! In addition to preparing taxes, I have performed professionally for 15 years. I know all about multiple income streams, 1099 forms, and unique deductions, particularly for actors/performers/gig workers like myself. Knowing both sides, I can approach my clients’ returns with a unique understanding of this lifestyle that many tax preparers do not have.

Don’t worry — I work 100% remotely, so I have clients from all over the world! I’m available to communicate with you via Zoom, email, and phone, and I have a secure online portal where we can exchange & sign documents easily.

No problem! Send me an email on the contact page and I’d be happy to help with your questions!
