Tips to Keep Tax Return Fees in Check
With the complex tax laws this day and age many people need to hire accountants to prepare their tax returns. Even though a fee for the preparation is inevitable, there are steps that the taxpayer can take in order to try to keep those fees from getting too high. Some accountants will charge a flat fee for your return and some will charge by time, by what most accountants have in common is that if you show up to their office with shoe boxes full of receipts, you can expect a higher invoice. The following steps can help keep your tax preparation fees in check:
· Keep accurate records. This means logging all your transactions into software such as Excel or QuickBooks.
· Do not show up to your accountant’s office with stacks of receipts. Some accountants will add up all of your receipts but will most likely charge an extra fee to do it.
