Clear pricing, confirmed before the work begins.
Pricing shown reflects typical ranges and starting fees. Final pricing is confirmed after AEM reviews the return type, filing requirements, number of states, record condition, and overall complexity. Business returns and specialized tax matters are considered individually based on AEM's scope and current availability. Certain out-of-scope services may be billed hourly.
Three package levels for individual tax returns
These are typical ranges. Final pricing depends on the forms, schedules, states, records, business activity, and complexity involved in your return, and it is confirmed in writing before AEM starts.

- Federal individual income-tax return
- W-2, retirement, Social Security, and other common income

For taxpayers with self-employment, investments, rental activity, or another meaningful layer of complexity.

What affects your final price
Packages describe a typical fit rather than a fixed menu. Final pricing is set after AEM reviews your documents.
- Filing status
- Number and type of schedules
- State and multi-state returns
- Business activity
- Rental properties
- Investment activity
- Prior-year cleanup or catch-up
- Overall complexity and review time
Business Tax Returns
Most accepted business tax-return engagements start at $2,500.
Business tax returns are priced according to the filing requirements, business activity, number of states, condition of the accounting records, and overall complexity. AEM reviews each prospective engagement before confirming availability, scope, and pricing.
Submitting a quote request does not guarantee acceptance. AEM will confirm whether the requested work falls within the firm's current scope before an engagement begins.
