For friends, she would charge about 50-100 and then whatever it costs her to file. My cheap hubby would do our taxes for us if my mom couldn't anymore. At these costs I think it is worth looking into TurboTax ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-an-accountant-does-your-taxes#post-1756709 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:15:10 +0000 snowjewelz 1756709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's around $200 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-an-accountant-does-your-taxes#post-1756662 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:01:38 +0000 Alivoo01 1756662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours fluctuates every year, but average is about $700?
