Pricing is based on the complexity of the return now and not the forms. The changes have made the return a bit more complicated and harder to price, so I will do my best to give you as accurate an estimate as I can to prepare your return.
If you are claiming Head of Household on your return, and I have not done your return before, they have added more "due diligence" requirements for the preparer, so please bring a medical bill or something that shows your address as the childs main home. This will save both of us headache and a lot of time. There is much fraud in this this filing status.
