    How much do you pay your CPA to file income tax for corporation by the end of the year?
    My CPA wants $950 for corporate return and $250 for personal.. Seems high

    I bring him a list of expenses without any receipts that I already calculated myself. Same thing with yours?

    I'm retired and still pay $250 for single, no dependents. I trust my CPA, but from year to year, the return swings from big refund to big tax and back again.

    No Corporation here, just personal and two rental properties and we pay the same amount you do.

    Have always done my own personal and done my own corporation since 2011. I never trust strangers with my money. If you keep up and itemize tallies throughout the year it's only about a 2 hr job when you file.

    $500 for business $250 for personal.
    Nice to know if the IRS sends a "nasty gram". I don't have to pay anything extra for him to defend my position.
