tax accountant & how much they charge?
Hi everyone,
I'm wanting someone to do my taxes. Do I look for a CPA accountant or someone else? I was also wondering, do I see them quarterly and how much is the average amount they charge to see them? I spoke with one lady at an office and she said it would be about $300. This seems quite high and I just wanted to get some advice from you guys. Thanks! :)

you'll probably want to check out this thread ...
As to the $300 'blind' accountant's fee quote, trying to judge whether this is 'high' or not depends on a number of individual issues ...
- whether or not your state requires the filing of a state income tax return / state estimated tax vouchers in addition to your federal return / federal estimated tax vouchers
- whether or not your own financial situation is 'complicated' ... i.e. working at a 'straight job' or as an 'employee' in one club / part of the year, while working as an independent contractor sole proprietor business person in another club / another part of the year
- the going rate for such services in your particular city
- whether or not you have already 'set up' your dancing 'business' in previous tax years, versus the accountant having to start from scratch
